We always want our hair to be beautiful and healthy. The best way to achieve this is to encourage faster hair growth by consuming the right food. Eating healthy is not only good for your health, it’s great for hair too and these foods consist of green leafy vegetable, fruits, nuts and seeds. To get faster hair growth, protein is essential, as well as vitamins and minerals.
Listed below are a few recommendations for faster hair growth:
Protein is probably the most important nutrient our hair needs for hair growth. Consuming the right amounts of protein daily will promote faster hair growth. Good sources of protein are lean meat from beef, poultry, pork and even vegetable protein from soya beans.
Milk is also a good source of protein. Also, casein found in milk has high amounts of glutamine, an amino acid that promotes faster hair growth. Whey on the other hand strengthens the hair and stimulates the hair follicles for hair growth. Aside from these dairy products, milk also rich in vitamins like vitamin B2, B6, B7 or biotin and B12.
Oils are also good for your health and hair growth. Oils from fatty fish like cod, salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna are excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids, iron, calcium, iron magnesium, selenium and zinc.
Green leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, kale and green peas are good for faster hair growth due to their iron content. Iron is a mineral that help the red blood cells to carry oxygen all over the body and this include the scalp. Good oxygenation is very important especially among growing cells like the hair producing cells found below the hair follicles.
Fruits are also great in promoting faster hair growth like oranges, grape fruits, lemons, tangerines, pineapples, avocadoes and berries due to their rich source of vitamin C. This vitamin help in improving the immune system preventing any fungal and skin infections, it also hasten wound healing.
