Your hair and nutrition; intertwined!!!

WHY YOUR NUTRITION AFFECTS YOUR HAIR...

Normally when we eat, the nutrients are taken to the most vital organs for life ie liver, heart, brain etc.
So, the last to get nourished are the least vital for life.. hair and nails!! This is why discoloured and brittle nails are a common sign of ailments due to nutrient deficiency...

Also...
Hair that is damaged will grow slower than normal, healthy hair.

Why?
Growth is slowed not only because of the hair damage itself, but because of the health of the scalp.
The scalp is where the hair follicles (call them seed  cells...,) are found, and damage to the scalp leads to damage to the follicles, hence weak or no hair!!!
So, when your skin is nourished inside out; so are your follicles hence strong, thick, healthy, lush hair!!! Its that simple!!

Nutrients Needed for Long Healthy Hair...
Proper nutrients are required in order for hair to grow properly. A healthy diet, supplemented with some key nutrients, can help you not only be healthier in general, but will result in healthier hair, skin and nails.
Essential Fatty Acids for Hair Growth
Essential fatty acids improve hair texture and help prevent breakage.
EFA's also assist in the hair growth cycle (anagen, telogen. etc..).
They help with blood circulation and cell growth. They can help promote a healthy scalp and may help increase nutrient absorption at the hair follicle. Deficiencies in EFA's actually lead to dry, brittle hair, breakage and hair loss.
Essential fatty acids are found in;
※fish,
※nuts
※and seeds.
※You can also get them by taking a daily supplement of flax seed oil
fish oil (omega 3 capsules; also good for joint care!!)

B-Complex Vitamins for Hair Growth
. B vitamins are responsible for hundreds of biological processes throughout the body.
♦B6 promotes healthy hair be keeping the scalp healthy.
♦Biotin (B7) is used by the body to promote cell growth and produce fatty acids, both of which are important for hair growth and health. In fact, a deficiency of this vitamin can lead to thinning hair

Vitamin C for Hair
Vitamin C improves scalp circulation and is vital for preventing hair loss.
Vitamin C plays a vital role in the production of collagen, the building blocks of healthy skin and hair

Vitamin E for Hair Growth and Health
Vitamin E contributes to the growth of capillaries, which improve circulation to the scalp and helps prevent hair loss. Increased circulation also helps
promote faster hair growth in many people.

Eat clean and healthy...
You can easily up your vitamin uptake by having a healthy diet; and supplementing where necessary using vitamin and mineral complexes;
These supplements can be easily accessed at your online health store
