Do you know that certain times of the year require extra care for yourself? Let's focus this time on the hair! The right masks with olive oil, shampoo and specific treatments that are needed to nourish the hair, especially after the summer, when the beach and the sun have done their damaging work, are only one side of the coin.
Experts say that you need to eat well, so that the hair regenerates and acquires the proper shine and strength. Eat as much fruit and plant-based foods as possible. Products with nutrients such as protein and Omega 3, minerals such as magnesium, zinc and iron and vitamins of groups A, B, C and E are very important.
In order for all these nutrients to be absorbed by the body and distributed to the hair fibers, you should eat dried fruits such as almonds, walnuts and peanuts, precious sources of vitamin E with antioxidant properties. This vitamin promotes the absorption of oxygen in the cells of the body, stimulating blood circulation in the scalp.
Banana is a superfood rich in fiber, iron, potassium, vitamin C and B6: substances that improve hair structure and give it elasticity. Pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, cabbage and broccoli provide the precious antioxidant essential for collagen formation.
Orange fruits and vegetables
Orange-colored foods have abundant doses of beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A by our body or into retinol: an element that nourishes the hair and prevents its damage. Therefore, carrots, pumpkins and tangerines should not be forgotten in the daily diet.
Green vegetables and legumes
Among the favorite green leafy vegetables is spinach, which is rich in iron, magnesium, Omega 3, B vitamins and folic acid: a mixture of nutrients that work on the fragile scalp. To prevent typical fall hair loss, you should cook chickpeas, beans and lentils.
