One of the main elements that promote healthy hair and skin is a balanced diet. Since we are kids, you hear that a proper diet promotes growth, strengthens, and prevents hair loss, while if we look at it holistically, other factors influence more than others.
Genetics is the strongest of all, mainly related to the health of the scalp and blood circulation, which you can also modify with exercise, hormonal processes, and age.
Also, some medications speed up or stop hair growth, so if you are always seeing that your hair is not advancing, you should consider which of these factors fails and makes an appointment at a dermatology center where your problem will be addressed from different points of views.
Depending on the type of hair, the speed of growth may vary.
In terms of food, protein and the B and E vitamin groups are essential for overall beauty, so the foods we recommend below have them as a common denominator. Add them to your food routine.
- Eggs: It is a source of protein that is quickly absorbed in the body and gives results in a short time; however, its relationship with long hair comes from its high concentration of vitamin B12 and biotin that are responsible for making hair and nails grow.
- Beans: Like lentils, beans, beans, beans, peas, chickpeas, and broad beans, beans are an essential source of protein, iron, biotin, and zinc, which will help strengthen hair, preventing breakage and ensuring healthy growth.
- Fish: Its richness in Omega 3 gives your hair the elasticity and strength to grow healthy and strong as if it were a baby food advertisement. In case it hurts you, or you simply don’t like this marine animal, bet on supplements since they are plentiful in the market.
- Nuts: Nuts are known for having a high content of vitamin B, iron, and zinc. Nuts, in particular, stop hair loss while stimulating hairs growth, especially when its delay is due to poor nutrition.
- Avocado: We are in its season, and this fruit is rich in oils that, together with the multiple vitamins it possesses such as B, C, and K, make hairs growth agile because they give welfare to the scalp while working the strand, making it softer and shiny, but also protects them from the sun’s rays.
