Believe it or not, there is actually a close connection between nutrition and healthy hair. The things you eat will greatly affect the condition of your hair. This is because hair is made of cells and tissues, and your body can only produce healthy cells and tissues if it has the ingredients it needs, nutrients. Let’s look at the main substances you need to have in your diet to keep your hair healthy and thick:
- 1. Protein
Found primarily in meat, fish , eggs and dairy products, protein is essential for healthy hair because it contains the amino acids that play very important roles in hair growth.
- 2. Carbohydrate
Carbohydrate helps build body tissues, including hair. Eat potatoes, rice, grains, fruits and vegetables to get a steady supply of healthy carbohydrate. Sugars also contain carbohydrate, but should be avoided, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.
- 3. Fat
Although too much fat is bad for your health, you still need to include a little fat in your diet to keep your hair healthy. Meat, nuts, eggs and milk are good sources of fat.
So if your hair keeps growing thinner no matter what kind of shampoo or tonic you use, it’s probably time to start paying attention to what you eat.
