Foods for hair
According to Brian Thompson ( principal trichologist and director of product development at Philip Kingsley Trichological Centre in New York and London), “Hair is a fast growing tissue and it’s likely to make demands on your body. You need a mixture of protein, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins and minerals to boost it.”
Here are some valuable foods to add health to your hair:-
■ Proteins at every meal
Protein has amino acids, essential for the building of hair cells. Inadequate protein intake can cause hair loss and slow growth.
Source : Lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, soya, nuts, wholegrains, seeds.
■ Balance with carbohydrates
Carbohydrates help in the growth of body tissues, including hair. They are an important source of the B vitamins that are vital to healthy hair. Have a power-packed combo of proteins and complex carbohydrates.
SOURCE : Oats, brown rice, buckwheat, barley, wholewheat, bajra and jowar.
■ Store up on good fats
The body needs sufficient levels of good fats to maintain bouncy tresses and tackle dry, coarse hair and even dandruff in some cases.
