Flexible,
shiny, vibrant hair is a sign of a healthy, well-nourished
body, while dry, dull, lifeless hair is a signal of
poor nutrition and poor overall health. Proteins,
Fats, Vitamins and Minerals are essential for better
hair growth. Hair shaft is made up of protein. Hair
loss and dry brittle hair results from inadequate
protein intake. Hair colour depends on colour pigment
Melanin; absence may results in white hair. Fat is
essential to lustre hair, especially the linoleic
acid keeps the sebaceous gland very active. The sebaceous
secretion sebum keeps the hair more shinny, lustrous
and flexible.
B complex & C vitamins also plays
an important role in keeping the hair healthy. Minerals
like Iron, selenium and zinc are also essential to
keep your hair healthy
Follow a low-fat, high protein diet with the minerals,
iron, calcium, selenium and vitamins.
Limit the
intake of coffee, tea, alcohol, and other fluids
that increase water loss.
Add more food rich in lenoleic acid
such as fish, meat, milk and vegetable
oils.
