5 Delicious Foods for Keeping Your Hair Healthy
You’ve noticed a lot of hair around your house and on your clothes. Maybe you’ve heard from friends who have started losing their hair and you’re concerned about your own. One thing you should consider, if you want to keep your hair healthy, is your diet.
It’s true that what you eat makes a difference in your hair’s appearance. These five foods are both delicious and good for your hair. Having a balanced diet ensures your hair gets necessary nutrients. 
Salmon
Eating salmon is good for your hair because it is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for a healthy body and hair. It is also rich in protein and vitamin D, two things that are great for hair.
Ingredients for cooking salmon:
- Salmon fillets
- Lemon
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Dried basil
How to cook salmon: The number of people you are cooking for will determine the quantity of the ingredients you will need.
- Stir together the salt, pepper, basil and garlic.
- Rub the mixture on the salmon fillets.
- Warm your skillet and add a little olive oil.
- Cook the salmon about five minutes per side.
- Serve with lemon.
Spinach and Mushroom Omelet
Spinach and other dark green vegetables, such as broccoli and kale, are great for your hair because they are packed with vitamins A and C. Spinach also has iron, beta-carotene and folate to keep your hair follicles and your scalp healthy.

- Black pepper

Nuts
Various nuts have different nutrients that contribute to hair health and growth. Selenium is an essential mineral for scalp health; the best source is in Brazil nuts. If you don’t get enough zinc, your hair might fall out. Walnuts, cashews and pecans are great sources of zinc. Also, walnuts are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Yogurt Parfait
Greek yogurt is high in protein, vitamin B and vitamin D, which is linked with hair growth. Blueberries (and strawberries to a lesser extent) have a lot of vitamin C, which supports the blood vessels that feed your hair follicles. If you don’t get enough vitamin C, your hair might start breaking.
Ingredients:
- Greek yogurt
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Oatmeal
- Cinnamon
- Honey
How to make this recipe:
