To maintain a good hair health one must maintain a good balance of the following nutrients in the diet -
Proteins are the Building Blocks
Hair is made up of protein. So to maintain good hair health one must consume a good amount of high-quality protein on a daily basis. Intake of 1 g/kg bodyweight protein regularly can ensure good hair health. Protein deficiency can make hair dry and brittle leading to excessive hair fall and baldness. Try to incorporate a good amount of milk, egg white, chicken, fish, curd, nuts, pulses, sprout, in your daily diet to meet the daily protein requirement.
Power Up with Iron
Iron is another very important mineral which helps in maintaining good hair health. Iron, in the form of hemoglobin, carries oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the hair follicle and helps in their nourishment. Its deficiency leads to anemia which is a major cause for hair loss. Try incorporating seafood like clams or chicken, red meat, mutton or sheep liver, dates, spinach, beetroot, apples, soybeans, broccoli etc. in your diet to meet the daily iron requirement.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Makes Hair Glossy
Omega 3 fatty acids provide the hydration for hair and scalp. The cells present on the scalp also contain omega 3 fatty acids. It helps in maintaining the glossy texture of hair and gives a shiny look. It is very important to add more omega 3 fatty acids in your diet. Incorporation of oily fish like mackerel, Indian salmon, trout etc. along with flaxseeds, avocados, pumpkin seeds and walnuts can help in meeting your daily requirement for this nutrient.
Biotin: The Most Underrated Vitamin
Biotin is responsible for hair growth and increasing the volume of hair. Its deficiency can lead to discoloration or thinning of hair.
