Hello there, beautiful viewers! Everyone’s hair grows differently. If you don’t know,
your hair grows at a rate of about 0.5 inches each month, and 6 inches per year. Age, health,
genetics and diet all influence how quickly it grows. While you can’t change most of
these things, you can definitely control your diet.
In today’s video, we’ll talk about some of the foods that can encourage hair to grow.
Is spinach a good option? What about red bell pepper? Wait a second, does this mean I can
eat more yogurt? We will talk about all this AND more…
Greek Yogurt Most people love a good cup of yogurt for
breakfast. It’s a tasty way to start the day. Well, now you have a new reason. Did
you know selenium and iodine are two elements widely linked to hair development? Both minerals
are required for the thyroid gland to operate properly, and shortages in either can result
in hair loss. The goal should be to keep as many hair strands
on your head, while maintaining its strength. There is no denying the fact that proper food
and vitamins can halt or reverse hair loss, as well as make hair thicker and healthier.
You should consider having yogurt in the morning,
or as a post-workout snack to maintain a consistent
intake of these minerals. The nutrients are packed within this dairy product. In fact,
one cup of plain low-fat Greek yogurt has half of your daily iodine requirement, and
34% of your daily selenium. Studies have found that routinely eating probiotic yogurt improves
the health of animals. Greek yogurt is also high in protein, which
is the building block of your hair. It also contains vitamin B5 that promotes scalp blood
flow and hair development. This element may help prevent hair loss and thinning. You may
see vitamin B5 listed as an ingredient on the labels of your hair and skincare products.

your health in any way? Sound off in the comment section, and start a conversation with our

Who doesn’t like crunchy nuts? They are tasty, convenient, and packed with nutrients
that can assist hair development. For instance, a handful of almonds can offer about 37% of
your daily vitamin E requirements. They also include a range of B vitamins, zinc,
and fatty acids. And just so you know, hair loss has been linked to a lack in these nutrients.
Oils found in various nuts help to increase the amount of elastin in your hair. Elastin
is a protein that makes hair supple and prevents it from breaking. Also, pistachios are a great
choice for individuals with male pattern baldness. Aside from hair development, nuts have also
been linked to a range of other health benefits, including reduced inflammation and a lower
risk of heart disease. All in all, nuts are a great and simple way to add variety to your
diet. Have I caught your interest? Well then hit

If you don’t know, red bell peppers are high in vitamin C, which helps produce collagen.
Vitamin C also protects hair against brittleness and breakage. While oranges are frequently
thought to be the highest source of vitamin C, half of a medium-sized red bell pepper
contains 158 percent of your daily needs. Collagen is required for maintaining your
hair follicles. Studies show that it helps to keep it strong. Your body's ability to
produce collagen and restore cells in the dermis decreases as you become older. This
is one of the reasons why hair thins with age.
Red bell pepper can also help prevent hair loss by increasing blood flow, which stimulates
hair development and protects hair follicles from DHT's effects. Surprisingly red bell
pepper's spiciness can speed up hair growth by more than 50%.
Spinach I know, spinach is gross. We’ve heard this
a million times before. Like it or not, spinach is terrific if you’re going through hair
loss. A mineral deficiency can cause hair loss in
some people, especially women. It’s important to make sure you don't have a dietary deficiency
that can make you lose hair. This is why it’s important to examine your protein levels,
iron levels, iron storage, vitamin D levels, and a variety of other tests. Furthermore,
hair loss has been connected to iron deficiency. Spinach is high in iron and includes sebum,
which is a natural hair conditioner. Omega-3 acids, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and
iron are all found in this leafy green. All of these things help make your hair lustrous,
shiny, and safe from falling into your sink. Iron is also necessary for hair development.
It helps with growth and repair by assisting
red blood cells, and transporting oxygen throughout
the body to fuel metabolism. So the next somebody’s
cooking spinach, I’d brave the gross taste
and get all those nutrients. It’s better than wearing a hairpiece.
Before we move ahead, here’s another video you might like. Have you been eating a lot
before going to sleep? This can have its issues. Watch and learn which foods are good to eat
before bed. Now back to our talk on how to prevent hair loss.
Eggs This is just another reason to look forward
to breakfast. Eggs are high in protein and biotin, two elements that may help hair grow
faster. If you’re not aware, hair follicles are largely made from protein. Eating enough
protein is essential for hair development. Hair loss has been linked to a lack of protein
in the diet, and eggs are a jackpot of protein! Let’s talk about biotin for a second.
Biotin is a B vitamin that assists hair growth and strengthens brittle fingernails. If you’re
not getting the proper biotin, it can also contribute to hair loss. Almonds, avocados,
and salmon are some other biotin-rich foods. Biotin is also required for the creation of
keratin, a hair protein. This is why biotin
pills are frequently sold as hair growth supplements.
Biotin deficiency is rare in those who eat a well-balanced diet. Eggs are also high in
zinc, selenium, and other hair-nourishing elements. As a result, they're one of the
greatest meals to eat for healthy hair. Salmon
When was the last time you ate salmon. It’s not everyone's favorite fish, but it does
help your hair. Nutrients found in fatty fish such as salmon,
herring, and mackerel may help hair development. Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which
have been linked to increased hair growth. Your body can do so many cool things, like
converting sunshine into bone-strengthening vitamin D. However, it’s unable to produce
omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids not only keep you fit and disease-free, but also
help you maintain hair, and keep it lustrous and full.
A study revealed that taking omega-3 and omega-6 supplements not only stopped hair loss, but
also made the hair thicker. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties. If
you have inflammation that is causing hair loss, they can assist. Natural sources of
omega-3s like salmon are ideal. In another study, women with thinning hair
who took a fish oil supplement had a significant reduction in hair loss, and an increase in
hair growth. Oysters
I know some of you are turned off by these foods. But trust me, they can help your hair
grow back! Oysters are one of the best sources of zinc
in the diet. Zinc is another mineral that helps the growth and restoration of hair.
If you don’t have enough zinc, your hair
will suffer. According to a study, zinc supplementation
can improve hair loss in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
If you’re wondering how, here’s the solution! Zinc helps cells responsible for hair growth.
A lack of zinc in the diet may contribute to telogen effluvium (te·​lo·​gen iˈfluːviəm),
a frequent, but reversible type of hair loss caused by a nutritional deficiency. Zinc can
also be found in beef, crab, and lobster. Sunflower Seeds
We’ve all seen those guys who endlessly chew sunflower seeds, spitting the shells
into an already giant pile. You know, the type of guys who are always at the ball games.
Well maybe they’re onto something. Seeds provide a lot of nutrients for a small
number of calories. Many of these nutrients help you grow your hair. Zinc and selenium
are among them. Did you know sunflower seeds also supply nearly half of your daily vitamin
E? Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin B5, which
helps hair development and blood flow to the scalp. Vitamin B5 deficiency has been linked
to hair loss, according to research studies. Just an ounce of this seed provides 20% of
your daily value. There are several ways to get lustrous locks.
