Top 5 Foods That Help with Hair Growth | Research by Salena Dowdy

From younger to older, hair loss is a problem for every other person. When treating this problem, people mostly ignore one thing: diet. The key to preventing hair fall by diet is knowing the deficiencies that can cause hair loss and eating foods according to them. Here, we're discussing all of it. So, let's start!

Deficiencies That Cause Hair Loss:

According to PubMed.gov, these vitamins and minerals deficiencies cause hair loss:

1. Vitamin D
2. Vitamin C
3. Vitamin E
4. Iron/Ferritin
5. Zincย 
6. Selenium
7. Biotin
8. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
9. Folate (Vitamin B9)
10. Vitamin B12
11. Vitamin A

Top 5 Foods That Helps with Hair Lossย 

Here we'll discuss the best five foods that provide all nutrients to fulfill the deficiency of any vitamin or mineral listed above.

1. Leafy Greens:ย 

Dark leafy green vegetables are rich in iron, calcium, folate, vitamins A and C, and beta carotene. These are also filled with omega-3 acids, potassium, and magnesium.

Dark leafy greens are considered magic foods because it fulfills iron deficiency, the world's most common nutritional deficiency according to WHO. Iron deficiency can cause a severe degree of complicated hair loss.ย 

Vitamin A produces sebum on the scalp, protecting and nourishing the scalp and hair.

All the nutrients together make hair shiny and strong to avoid breakage.ย 

The most favorable dark leafy greens to stop hair loss are:

โ€ข Spinachย 
โ€ข Kaleย 
โ€ข Collardsย ย 

2. Fatty Fish:ย 

Fatty fishes are a renowned source of fatty acids like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.

Omega fatty acids are the building block of our body, and the human body does not produce them naturally. So, these must be taken from foods to keep our body as well as hair growing fully and healthily.ย 

If vitamin D is insufficient, keratinocytes (cells in hair follicles) have trouble regulating hair growth and shedding.ย 

So, fatty fish is necessary to help the follicles grow more hair in the anagen phase (growing phase of the "hair growth cycle").ย 

The best fatty fish to help with hair loss are:ย 

โ€ข Salmonย 
โ€ข Tunaย 
โ€ข sardines
โ€ข Herringย 

3. Eggs:

This natural multivitamin product is packed with all healthy nutrients and contains biotin, iron, and protein.ย 

Biotin makes keratin, a protein from which hair is made. A significant biotin presence keeps the hair encouraged for growth.ย 

A sufficient amount of iron keeps the blood circulation optimal and leads oxygen to hair roots. It ensures more robust hair growth.

A low protein situation keeps the hair in the resting phase; this may be the reason your hair always stays less dense.ย 

4. Fruits:

Fruits that are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C are best for boosting hair growth. These includes:ย 

โ€ข Berriesย 
โ€ข Cherriesย 
โ€ข Apricots
โ€ข Guavaย 
โ€ข Kiwi
โ€ข Avocado
โ€ข Grapes
โ€ข Orangesย ย 

Vitamin C helps the human body make collagen by absorbing iron. Collagen plays a vital role in building stronger hair.

Antioxidants in fruits help hair save from free radical damage.ย 

Free radicals in the human body are unpaired, unstable electrons that attack healthy body parts (including hair). Antioxidants donate electrons to balance free radicals without unbalancingthemselves.ย 

Everyday habits like smoking, alcohol consumption, and inappropriate diet cause free-radical damage eventually. That's why a healthy lifestyle is also necessary to grow hair healthily.ย ย 

5. Nuts and Seeds:

Nuts and seeds have a high amount of vitamin E. Vitamin E stops hair loss, nourishes hair, and gives it maximum shine.ย 

Nuts and seeds also include trace elements like zinc, selenium, and omega fatty acids that the human body can't produce. The deficiency of these trace elements severely affects hair growth.ย 

So, you should take those trace elements via foods, and nuts and seeds are the best sources.

โ€ข Walnutsย 
โ€ข Almonds
โ€ข Brazil nutsย 
โ€ข Sunflower seedsย 
โ€ข Flax seedsย 
โ€ข Chia seeds

For How Long Do You Need to Eat This Diet to Stop Hair Loss?ย 

Let us tell you the truth, stopping hair fall from dieting takes 6 to 8 months to see the considerable "before and after" difference. As these foods first fulfill the deficiency of nutrients in the body and make the crucial function of it efficient, then effects hair to make them healthy.ย
