Eat Your Way to Healthy Hair!

Eat your way to healthy hay: Did you know that the nutrients you eat fortify your body also fortify your hair follicles, from which each of your hair strands grow?

Healthier hair follicles = Healthier hair!

Of course, more goes into the health of your hair than what you eat.

Things like hormonal imbalances, lack of sleep, and smoking can affect how your hair looks and feels.

But, if none of these things are a concern in your life, a balanced, varied, protein-rich diet can give your hair the extra love it needs.

The following 10 foods will give your hair the maximum results:

1. Salmon- Rich in protein, Vitamin D, and Omega 3 fatty acids

2. Walnuts- Full of Biotin, Vitamin E, and Omega 3 fatty acids

3. Oysters- Perfect combo of Zinc and protein

4. Sweet Potatoes- A great source of the antioxidant Beta Carotene, and Vitamin A.
