Here are some great tips from Kenneth and Jael founders of http://www.naturalhaircommunity.com/ on the different types of food you can eat to help your hair to grow strong and healthy!


No.1: Who likes Chili? What about pinto beans or kidney beans? It's
important to know that beans provide much needed protein (and
additional nutrients) which promote healthy hair.

No.2: Do you remember Popeye - our fun loving sailor man? Popeye
would pop open a can of spinach to recharge his super human
strength anytime his girlfriend Olive Oyl was in trouble. You
probably know where I'm going by now, but you should incorporate
several dark green veggies, like spinach into your diet. These
veggies are packed with nutrients like vitamins A and C.

No.3: What's up Doc? That's the famous line of our carrot-eating
friend - Bugs Bunny. Aren't you envious of Bugs Bunny's natural
hair? It was most likely so healthy looking do to his consumption
of carrots, which provide an excellent source of vitamin A and
promotes a healthy scalp.

No.4: I really like Multi-grain Cheerios and fat-free milk. This
healthy breakfast provides a good source of calcium, fiber, iron
and protein. Consuming dairy products that are low fat like skim
milk, cottage cheese and yogurt are an important component to your
healthy hair journey. Furthermore, incorporating whole grain
breakfast cereals and breads into your diet can provide you with
zinc, iron and vitamin B.

No.5: Scientific research shows that a zinc deficiency can lead to
hair shedding. Add some nuts to your eating plan if you're looking
for an excellent source of zinc. Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds and
cashews are a few good options.

No.6: Eggs Benedict, frittatas and omelets are all classic egg
dishes that provide a good source of protein. So add some eggs to
your meal plan. Do you remember those muscular guys who drank raw
eggs on television years ago? Are you willing to go that far?

No.7: A few other high quality sources of protein include salmon,
turkey, chicken and lean-beef. If you're a meat lover be sure to
add some of these lean-meats to your diet for high-quality sources
of protein and other nutrients.
