Strong and healthy hair Tips
Tried various shampoos, conditioners and hair treatments but nothing seems to work? The real reason for bad hair could be a poor diet. What you feed your hair inside has more effect on it than outside factors like shampoos or hair packs. And there are certain necessary nutrients that both your body and hair need to look healthy and strong.
The type, the length, the growth, the thickness, the thinness, curls and strength of your hair all depends on what you have inherited hereditarily, but the condition of your hair depends on the internal state of your body, which feeds the papillae that produce it. For the hair to be strong and beautiful, the cuticle and cortex have to be strong first. Any animal lover changes the look of his pet’s hair by altering its diet. The same goes for humans, too.
Each hair follicle depends on the current dietary state of one’s blood stream and on adequate oxygen reaching each cell. If a person goes on a poor diet, or for some reason like stress has rude food, harmful changes in the hair bulb can be detected in as little as three to four days. People going on a protein-free diet for ten days have found that when their hair has been plucked and analyzed microscopically, it showed significant changes in color, texture and structure.
While many are extremely aware of their diet and get all the required minerals, vitamins and basic nutrients, what is often neglected is protein, which makes up the core of hair. The essential amino acids that are the building blocks of keratin are most plentiful in animal products, and without sufficient intake, less energy is obtainable for hair follicle production.
- Eat lots of lean meat, especially liver which is high in iron and Vitamin B12, and also seafood, which contains the all-important iodine.
- You will also benefit from a enough intake of vitamins A, B and C, which are found in eggs, milk, fresh fruits and vegetables. A daily course of vitamins and oil capsules may help if your hair is dry and brittle.
- Hair is fed by the blood flowing to the follicles, so a good diet and flow from exercise and massages are necessary to give your hair shine and vitality.
Remember, just as the residue from drugs and medicine and all the negative things that we put in our bodies show up in our hair, the positive results of nutritional care are also seen.
