A list of foods that prevent hair loss in Men and Women
Many people are concerned about losing their hair, especially as we get older.
As we age the hair can become thinner, weaker and duller resulting in baldness and slow
growing follicles.
Unfortunately eating the wrong foods is the most common cause of hair loss, because junk
foods cause nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances.
By eating the right foods and nutrients you can help to restore blood circulation to the
scalp and grow thicker, healthier hair.
In today's video we will highlight a list of 16 foods that prevent hair loss in both
women and men.
1. Peppers Peppers are one of the healthiest sources
of Vitamin C for protecting against thinning hair with age. This antioxidant rich fruit
helps the body to build proteins like collagen, which is an important part of the hair structure.
Vitamin C also helps your body absorb iron which helps to stimulate blood flow to the
scalp.
2. Eggs Eggs contain all the building of life and
are rich in amino acids used to make keratin. Keratin is the structural protein which makes
and protects hair follicles. Eggs are also rich in biotin (Vitamin B7) which helps to
carry nutrients to the hair and scalp. Always use pasture raised eggs, as these are more
nutritious.
3. Bone Broth Keratin and hair is a type of collagen which
is very tough and fibrous. Bone broth is the richest source of collagen on the planet and
is made from boiled animal bones. Consuming this regularly will help to prevent hair loss
with age because it provides the raw materials needed to make the structure of the hair.
4. Pine Nuts People who do not consume enough zinc from
their foods often suffer with hair loss, a weak immune system and premature aging. We
highly recommend consuming pine nuts as these are loaded with zinc to help prevent hair
loss, eye problems and skin conditions. Zinc supports cellular replication and hair growth,
especially when consumed from food sources.
5. Oysters Another fantastic source of zinc in oysters.
These small water-molluscs also provide lots of selenium, copper and iodine which are all
needed for hair follicle growth. These minerals are bound to amino acids making them easy
to absorb and use by the digestive system. These minerals not only boost hair growth,
but also support the oil glands around the hair follicles.
6. Horsetail Another important element involved with growing
hair is silica. This is involved with manufacturing collagen, hair, skin and nails. Silica helps
the hair to become stronger, shinier and less likely to split at the ends. Horsetail is
a fern that was used in Ancient Rome and Greece for improving hair growth. You can take this
now in capsule form.
7. Lemon Juice Drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice in a
glass of water each day is a great way to help cleanse the body of toxins. We absorb
many toxins from the environment that can cause hormone imbalances, which can also lead
to hair loss. Consuming lemon juice helps to detoxify the liver, promote stronger hair
growth and clear, blemish free skin.
8. Shrimp We always recommend consuming lots of sea
food to protect against nutritional deficiencies and hair loss with age. Shrimp has a high
content of B vitamins, zinc and iron which are used by the body to make hair follicles.
It also contains Vitamin E which protects against dandruff and irritation of the scalp.
9. Nutritional Yeast One of the most common causes of hair loss
is a deficiency in B vitamins. Nutritional yeast is the number 1 natural source of these,
especially Vitamin B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. These all work together in the body to synthesize
hair follicles, produce healthy oils for the hair, and nourish the hair with healthy blood
flow.
10. Coriander We highly recommend using coriander as a finishing
herb for your delicious recipes. This is loaded with Vitamin C to help prevent breaking hair,
rough skin and bleeding gums. It also helps to correct hormone imbalances which lead to
hair loss, such as high DHT in men, and high insulin in women.
11. Beef Liver Many people do not realise that beef liver
is one of the most nutrient dense superfoods on Earth. The liver stores a great range of
nutrients, especially B vitamins that support healthy hair growth and synthesizing proteins
like collagen. Always chose grass fed beef liver, as this is the healthiest you can consume.
12. Apple Cider Vinegar Many people suffer with acid reflux and heartburn
as they get older. This can cause problems with absorbing minerals and proteins needed
for healthy hair growth. Drinking 2 teaspoons of ACV in a glass of water before each meal,
strengthens the stomach and allows you to absorb more nutrients for proper hair growth.
This also naturally treats heartburn and indigestion.
13. Blueberries Blueberries are another wonderful source of
Vitamin C, anthocyanins and antioxidants that have been scientifically shown to fight aging.
Consuming 1 portion of mixed dark berries daily can help to protect against hair loss
by supporting the cellular functions of the body.
14. Olive Oil Many regular vegetable oils are made from
seeds which cause inflammation and free radical damage to the body. Over time free radicals
block the circulation of blood to the scalp which can cause hair loss. Throw away those
unhealthy oils and start consuming extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil daily. These are
rich in Vitamin E which improves circulation to the scalp and reduces free radical damage
to hair follicles.
15. Salmon Inflammation is the leading problem connected
to most diseases and problems with the human body. We recommend consuming lots of healthy
omega 3 fatty acids to help lower inflammation and fight free radical damage that can lead
to hair loss. Wild caught salmon is a fantastic source of omega 3-s.
16. Pumpkin Seeds Last but by no means least, pumpkin seeds
are a simple snack which can protect your hair from thinning out with age. Women who
are going through the menopause may suffer with a magnesium deficiency which can lead
to hair loss. Pumpkin seeds supply lots of magnesium and zinc which help cell division
and growing strong and healthy hair.
As you can see there are many wonderful foods that you can consume to strengthen the hair
follicles and protect against hair loss with age.
Consuming a diet filled with leafy green vegetables, berries and nutritious fish is a great way
to stay healthy and vibrant with age.
Be sure to avoid refined sugars and grains, as much as possible. These foods deplete important
minerals and nutrients that are needed for healthy growing hair.
A few other foods that we haven't mentioned today are sea kelp, pig liver, basil, trout,
virgin cod liver oil, rose hips, kiwi, and grass fed butter.
These foods are also packed full of the nutrients mentioned today to help prevent hair loss.
You may also wish to keep your scalp healthy by moisturising it with coconut oil once a
week. This destroys fungus and bacteria that could cause flakes and itchiness, also helping
to unclog the pores for easy hair growth.
