It’s impossible to have beautiful hair unless you start from the inside.  First of all, it’s necessary to follow a healthy diet, so that you get all the essential vitamins and nutrients your body needs. As you probably already know, for example, anemia is an enemy to our hair, causing hair loss, weakness, and breakage.

Also, iron is essential for delivering oxygen to the hair follicle, leaving hair strong and healthy.  Moreover, our hair needs essential amino acids to feed its keratinocytes.

Keratinocytes are a form of keratin, the protective layer that provides elasticity and strength to hair and nails.  At some point or another, you may have bought an expensive conditioner containing keratin. However, what if we supplemented our diets with foods that naturally provide us with this amino acid? A few of them are:

  • Broccoli.
  • Brussel sprouts.
  • Spinach.
  • Lean meats like chicken and turkey.
  • Lentils.
  • Garbanzo beans.
  • Parsley.
  • Lemons and oranges.
  • Strawberries.
  • Papaya.
  • Pineapple.
  • Oatmeal.
  • Seafood.
