What you don’t eat affects your hair…huh???

Your hair is a barometer to measure your health. Doctors and scientist use strains of hair to measure the trace elements and minerals in your body. Healthy hair is possible with a good wholesome diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, because the roots of the plants pull the minerals from the ground and provide a variety of essential vitamins. Raw fruits and vegetables are the best. Eating less meat and more fresh grown products will minimize the amount of fat which clogs up the body and blood stream causing poor circulation. Poor circulation leads to hair loss or baldness.

Vitamins and minerals really do help. And I’m not just talking about what’s in your shampoo.

Vitamins and minerals are necessary today more than ever before because foods here in the U.S. are devoid of most of the nutrients they use to have. There are over 100 trace minerals that your hair needs and is not getting from the food you eat. Supplementing your diet with water soluble vitamins and minerals is vital to the health of you and your hair.

Water is public Hero #1.

You must drink (8) 8oz. glasses of water daily to flush your systems of poisons, regulate it and promote healthy and free flowing circulation. Doesn’t that sound like something your hair needs? Yes, I said water, soda, juice, Gatorade, and other drinks will not do. Seriously! I can’t stress this enough…Drink more water!!! Also you need to wash your hair more often. Especially black women, who often press or fry their hair, stripping it of all it’s moisture. This process dries out the hair causing it to break off and come out. Many people only wash their hair a few times a month. With no moisture in your hair you’re not going to get the healthy growth you want.
