  • Lean Red Meat:

Lean red meat can prevent hair loss. It is a great source of iron which preserves the health of the hair follicles. Besides, iron also helps other nutrients to get easily absorbed into the hair follicles, which, in turn, promotes hair growth. Lean red meat is also a good source of sulphur which promotes blood circulation and decreases inflammation while preventing hair loss. Animal liver contains rich amounts of vitamins B3 and A which promote blood circulation in

 

  • Eggs:

Hair is basically made up of protein and hence, a protein-rich diet is one of the best ways to ensure hair health. Eggs have high amounts of Vitamin B12 and proteins that get easily absorbed into the root and hair follicles while promoting repair and ensuring nutrient supply to the hair. They are also packed with vital minerals, selenium, sulphur, zinc, and iron. Iron transports oxygen to the hair follicles and iron deficiency may lead to drastic hair fall. Biotin and sulphur, present in eggs, promote the synthesis of keratin, the main component of hair, thereby.

  • Oysters:

Sea food lovers may find oysters as one of their most delightful food choices. Oysters have high amounts of zinc and zinc deficiency may lead to hair loss and itchiness and dryness of the scalp. Additionally, oysters are rich in iron and protein, both of which are important for hair.

  • Salmon:

Salmons have high amounts of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and iron.

These nutrients prevent hair loss. Our body cannot synthesize fatty acids on its own. Around 3 percent of our hair shaft is composed of fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are found in the cell membranes of our scalp and in the oils that keeps the scalp from losing its moisture. Besides planning your diet well, you may need to make healthy lifestyle adjustments as well.

Regular smoking may produce adverse effects on your hair health. Stress and inadequate sleep may produce similar effects as well. Try to figure out how you can manage your time and schedule well in order to accommodate hours of relaxation and restful sleep. Hair loss may bring panic, anxiety, and distress which may further complicate the scenario. Try to identify the root cause and address it well with proper dietary and lifestyle choices. And lastly try to incorporate these Indian foods for healthy hair and scalp.
