The health of our hair depends on several factors including sex, age, genetics but also what we eat can greatly affect the health of the hair. Here are ten elements not to be missed for healthy and shiny hair:
- Eggs , a source of protein (for the follicles) and biotin which is used to produce keratin (for the hair)
- Berries , rich in antioxidants and vitamin C which facilitates the production of collagen and the absorption of iron
- Spinach rich in birds, iron, vitamins A and C
- Fatty fish , such as salmon, a source of omega 3 which several studies link to hair growth and health
- Sweet potatoes provide beta-carotene which our body converts into vitamin A, which is important for regulating sebum production
- Avocado which, among other excellent properties, is also a source of vitamin E, important for counteracting oxidative stress
- Walnuts , rich in vitamins E, B, zinc and fatty acids
- The seeds, also a source of vitamin E
- Sweet peppers with their contribution of vitamins A and C
- Oysters are one of the richest foods in zinc, which is essential for the growth and repair of damaged hair
