Foods for Hair Growth

1. Spinach: Spinach is a great vegetarian food for hair regrowth. Spinach is a great source of iron, vitamin A and C and protein. Iron deficiency is the main cause of hair fall and spinach is not only iron-rich, it also contains sebum which acts as a natural conditioner for hair. It also provides us with omega-3 acid, magnesium, potassium, calcium and iron. These help in maintaining a healthy scalp and lustrous hair.

2. Eggs and Dairy Products: Eggs and dairy products are great foods for hair growth and thickness. Milk, yogurt and eggs are loaded with essential nutrients such as proteins, Vitamin B12, iron, zinc and Omega 6 fatty acids. Dairy products are also a great source of biotin (Vitamin B7) that is known to fight hair loss.

3. Walnuts:Add some walnuts to your diet to stop hair fall. It is the only known nut that contains biotin, B vitamins (B1, B6 and B9), Vitamin E, plenty of protein and magnesium, all of which strengthen hair cuticles and nourish the scalp.

4. Guava: Vitamin C prevents your hair from becoming brittle and fragile and guavas contain more Vitamic C than oranges! Just like the fruit, the leaves too contain vitamin B and C, which help boost collagen activity required for hair growth.

5. Lentils: Lentils are loaded with protein, iron, zinc, and biotin which are all essential nutrients for your hair. Besides this, lentils are full of folic acid which is necessary for restoring the health of red blood cells that supply the skin and scalp with much-needed oxygen and thus, make your hair stronger and prevent breakage.

6. Barley: Barley is loaded with Vitamin E which helps in treating hair thinning. Barley is also rich in iron and copper that help in the production of red blood cells and make your hair follicles stronger.

7. Flaxseeds:Flaxseeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that easily reach the hair shaft and cell membranes of your scalp and nourish the follicles.They also add elasticity to your hair and thus, prevent breakage. Since your body cannot produce these essential fatty acids, you need to derive them from what you eat and flaxseeds are a great healthy option.

8. Chicken: Your hair is made up of protein and so eating a diet rich in high-quality, naturally occurring protein can really help. If you're a vegetarian, you can turn to tofu and peanuts to promote hair health.

9. Carrots: Carrots are not only good for your eyes, but they work wonder for your hair too. They are packed with Vitamin A that acts as a natural conditioner and prevents your hair from breaking off. Sweet potato is another great source to derive Vitamin A.

While external factors like sun exposure, pollution and regular use of chemical products may damage your hair, a poor diet is the most common cause of hair fall. So, make sure you include these nutrients in your daily diet. These foods can help stop hair fall and give you longer and stronger hair. more
