Health & Vitality For The Hair

There is nothing quite like radiant beautiful hair, and though many of us perhaps are not fortunate enough to have that pantene look naturally, there are some points we can address to help. Healthy hair is often a measurement to ones own personal health and vitality. Limp, dull and lifeless hair regardless of how you pamper it can be the result of poor nutrion. More than usual hair loss can also be the result of poor diet, luckily, if this is the case something can be done about it.

Lifeless hair can be a frustrating affair, but it need not be permanent if it is diet related. There can be a variety of factors responsible for hair loss, possibly one of the most common reasons and the easiest to rectify is bad nutrition. If your body is not receiving enough of the right nutriments it needs to repair itself, one of the first areas where you could notice a change will be your hair. Additional causes could be hormonal, hereditary, auto immune response, chemical use and aging.

Protein Importance For Healthy Hair:
This is vital for cell renewal and energy creation, especially when the body has to cope with a stressful situation. Under these conditions more protein and B5 than usual is needed by the body. Your protein foods are an excellent source of minerals, amino acids and the B vitamins, all of which are vital for hair growth, especially B5 and B6.

Good Sources:
Oily Fish, lean meat, lambs liver, poultry, all Soya products, cooked eggs, low fat dairy, whole grains, a combination of all legumes and brown rice and nuts are very good sources of protien.
