Healthy Hair from Nuts –Seriously?

Get Healthy Hair from Nuts

There are several foods that provide essential nourishment for healthy, supple hair. Additionally, a variety of nuts will give your dry hair a boost and encourage hair growth. Remember that on average, hair will grow ¼ to ½ inch each month. So if you want to promote more healthy hair growth, include some healthy nuts in your diet.

Even though 100% all natural herbal hair care products help grow and maintain healthy hair, a diet of essential nutrients and protein rich foods, will further enhance your all-natural beauty. Of course, if you are allergic to nuts, then there are other dietary sources you can ingest that will also supply the nutrients for healthy hair that nuts provide.

Benefits of Nuts in Your Healthy Hair Diet

• Keratin: Healthy hair is full of keratin. Nuts provide protein and it helps your body produce keratin. Make sure your body receives and produces keratin naturally.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Walnuts contain alpha- linoleic acid that can help condition hair.
• Vitamin E:  Nuts are rich in vitamin E. As an antioxidant, vitamin E aids in repair and building tissue; also stimulates blood circulation in the scalp; can prevent premature graying of hair; when used topically: at the roots, vitamin E minimizes inflammation and repairs damaged follicles; when applied to the hair strand, vitamin E adds luster to hair and repairs split ends.
• Selenium: Selenium is a trace mineral that helps promote a healthy scalp, hair growth and stops hair loss. Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium.
• Biotin: Avoid brittle hair! Walnuts, peanuts and almonds contain biotin, and essential B vitamin that helps maintain a healthy scalp and promotes hair growth.
• Zinc:  Strengthen hair follicles with zinc, found in cashews, pecans, almonds and walnuts.
• Copper: Walnuts contain this trace element that helps to produce melanin to maintain hair color.
• Calcium: This important mineral strengthens hair and stimulates healthy hair growth. Almonds are an excellent source of calcium; only one ounce contains as much calcium as ¼ cup of milk.
