Foods That Stop Hair Loss

We have access to many foods that can help us with hair loss naturally before we go and start spending our hard earned cash on all the different hair loss products out there. A quick trip to the grocery store and you will not only be eating better but you can also help stop your hair loss just by eating right.

I have listed 9 basic foods that will help deliver the natural hair loss vitamins and minerals needed to increase blood flow to the scalp and give the hair follicle everything it needs to start growing healthier hair. Of course everybody is different because we have different genetics and not every hair loss product can work for everyone but most of the hair loss products (mainly vitamins) out there are comprised of the ingrediance found in these natural food sources.

1. Fish

Fish is a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, Protein and essential fatty acids. Fatty acids play an important role in keeping healthy hair, nails, and skin.

2. Roast beef

Roast beef is a good source of Vitamin B-6 and Zinc. It’s also a good source of protein of course. Vegans might consider taking Soy beans instead for protein and chickpeas for vitamin B6 and Zinc.

3. Oranges or Citrus fruits

Oranges (or orange juice) are a good source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps make meat and soy sources of Iron more absorbable. Vitamin C is a big part of the development of collagen, which is necessary for hair growth.

4. Almonds

Almonds are good sources of protein; Iron and Vitamin E. Almonds help lower cholesterol. Caution: Some drugs used to lower cholesterol can actually cause hair loss.

5. Whole wheat

Whole wheat is a good source of Silica and Iron. Silica is very important because it helps with the absorption of many other vitamins and minerals. One of the main causes of hair loss could be the very lack of Silica in the diet.

6. Cow’s milk

Cow’s milk has absorbable Iodine. It’s impossible to overdose on Iodine from food sources unlike Iodized salt.

7. oats

Oats are a good source of easily absorbable Iron as well. It is an excellent source of potassium, magnesium and phosphorus.

8. Soy beans

Soy is another great source of protein. It actually contains a large amount of two very important vitamins and minerals need for healthy hair, (Iron and Vitamin E). The body needs iron for it’s role in hemoglobin production. Hemoglobin is responsible for getting oxygen to the tissues of the body. Without it your hair won’t grow.

Vitamin E also helps with the absorption of oxygen and increasing blood circulation to the scalp.

9. Chickpeas

Eating chickpeas basically kills two birds with one stone. You will get the much needed vitamin B6 and zinc at the same time to ensure healthy hair. Zinc has a very important role when the body build hair protein.

Vitamin A also works together with Zinc. Missing one of those two causes you to have dandruff that could contribute to hair loss. If you eat roast beef instead you get all of the same benefits and protein as well.
