You have heard of vitamins for a healthy body. But did you know there are vitamins and minerals that help in the growth of healthy hair. In fact if you have excessive hair fall check with your family physician to check out the possibility of deficiency of any essential vitamins. A stressful and hurried lifestyle leaves little time for a balanced diet. The consequence is vitamin deficiency. And this along with general deterioration of health causes hair fall too. So what are the best vitamins for hair growth?
Antioxidant
Vitamins And Minerals In Foods
The first group of vitamins that come to my mind is that vitamin group that is known as antioxidants. Vitamin E, C and beta carotene come under this category. You can either take the vitamins as pills or in their natural form from food that is rich in these vitamins. Green leafy vegetables like spinach, parsley, broccoli and mustard green, whole grains, and nuts like almonds and sunflower seeds are all rich source of vitamin E. All kinds of citrus foods and some vegetables like tomato are great source of vitamin C. All orange and yellow colored fruits and vegetables like apricots, cantaloupes, and carrots are great source of beta carotene.
Essential Fatty Acids
Omega 3 is the essential fatty acid that is very important for the health of your hair. Great source of omega 3 is all types of seafood, such as salmon, halibut, and tuna. Olive oil and certain nuts like walnuts and flaxseeds also provide the body with omega 3.
Protein
Protein is essential for healthy hair growth cycles. If you are a vegetarian or you are on a diet be sure to check that your body gets the required protein. Otherwise the biological balancing process of the body will start a chain reaction in which to accommodate the body's need of protein the hairs in growing stage will be shifted to resting stage of the hair growth cycles. Subsequently there may be a lot of falling hair when the forced resting stage of the hair is over. Protein is usually derived from animal source. Meats, fish, milk, cheese, eggs and yogurt are all great source of protein for the body. In fact it is one of the most essential and best vitamins for hair growth.
Minerals
There are some minerals like zinc, silica, selenium, potassium, manganese and sulfur
are essential for healthy hair growth. Most of these mineral can be found in poultry products like egg and chicken and dairy products like meat and milk and cheese. Pumpkin seeds are the best vegetarian source of zinc.
Vitamin B
This vitamin holds the key for the over all health of hair. While vitamin B3 provides healthy blood circulation to the scalp, vitamin B 5 helps prevent hair loss and promote hair growth. Biotin is a member of vitamin B family that is highly acclaimed for premature graying and stopping hair loss.
Iron
Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair fall. This deficiency cause sluggish blood circulation to the scalp and consequently the hair follicles are deprived of the nutrients required for their healthy growth. Liver, kidneys and red meat are some of the natural source of iron.
Iodine
Did you know iodine is essential for hair growth? Thyroids causes imbalance of iodine in our body and the result is hair fall. It is best to have our body's requirement of iodine from natural food source like salmon, seafood, lima beans, eggs, potatoes, molasses, watercress, seaweed, and garlic.
These are the best vitamins for hair growth. Of course these vitamins will improve your over all health too. Only when you have a healthy body, you can have healthy hair too. The solution to all your hair problem is to have diet that provide these vitamins.
