Salmon for Shine
Fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are packed with healthy omega3 fatty acids.
Your body can't make these healthy fats, so you have to get them from food or supplements.
They help protect you from disease, but your body also needs them to grow hair and keep it shiny and full.
Grow With Greek Yogurt
It's packed with protein, the building block of your locks.
Greek yogurt also has an ingredient that helps with blood flow to your scalp and hair growth.
It's called vitamin B5 and may even help against hair thinning and loss.
You may recognize pantothenic acid as an ingredient on your hair and skincare product labels.
Spinach to Battle Brittle Hair
Like so many dark green leafy vegetables, spinach is full of amazing nutrients.
It has tons of vitamin A, plus iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C.
These work together for a healthy scalp and mane.
They keep your hair moisturized so it doesn't break.
Iron Fortified Cereal to Prevent Loss
Getting too little iron can lead to hair loss.
But you can find this important nutrient in fortified cereal, grains, and pastas, and in soybeans and lentils.
Beef, especially organ meats like liver, have lots of it.
Shellfish and dark leafy greens do too.
Lean Poultry for Thickness
When you don't get enough protein, hair growth "rests."
Since it stops and older hairs fall out, you can have hair loss.
To get protein from meat, pick lean options like chicken or turkey, which have less saturated fat than sources like beef and pork.
