Secrets to long, thick & shiny hair

Long beautiful hair is usually a sign of beauty in women isn’t it? But do you know that what you eat can work magic — or wreak havoc — on your hair? The quality of your hair is dependent on how well nourished the hair follicles are and whether blood circulation to the scalp is normal and not sluggish. And the nutrients that you consume through food are the major factor that determines these conditions.

For long and healthy hair you should include natural sources of protein in your diet such as wheat, whole grains, pulses and eggs. These helps improve the thickness and the strength of your hair. Milk as well as nuts and raisins are a rich source of calcium and iron that improve the blood circulation in the scalp and increase follicular strength. Green leafy vegetables should also be eaten regularly, as they supply essential minerals to the body that stimulate hair follicles and make hair grow faster and stronger. You should also eat lots of fresh fruits, as they contain vitamins that increase the capacity of the hair follicles to absorb iron and consequently improve the strength of your hair.  Eating a bowl of unsweetened yogurt every morning is also known to prevent and control hair loss.

So, what say ready to include all these nutrients into your diet chart and make your long cherished dream of having long gorgeous beautiful hair a reality...
