30 Days to Great Looking Hair

If you’re not happy with your head of hair, take heart!  You can have better looking hair in 30 days with these simple tips.

We all know the saying, “you are what you eat.” And the proof is in the mirror. If your hair is shiny, thick and manageable, chances are you are eating the right foods. If not, read on. Follow these nutrient-rich guidelines and your mirror will be your best friend in thirty days.
Here are the nutrient essentials for great looking hair:
• Protein. Be sure to supplement your diet with lean protein such as chicken, turkey, fish, eggs and other high quality protein foods.
• B12. This essential vitamin prevents hair loss. Clams, oysters, mussels, liver, cheese and eggs are among the foods highest in this essential vitamin.
• Calcium. What’s good for the bones is good for the hair. Include plenty of high quality foods such as yogurt and milk.
• Iron.  Iron deficiency can lead to hair loss. Iron-rich foods, such as red meat, egg yolks and liver will keep your diet iron-rich.
• Biotin. You don’t want to skimp on this important B vitamin. This wonder vitamin may prevent graying and hair loss. Stock up on wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, oatmeal, soy, mushrooms and bananas.
• Silica. This mighty mineral strengthens hair and prevents hair loss. Silica is found in sunflower seeds, peanuts, almonds and strawberries.
• Omega 3 fatty acids. Want shiny, thick hair? Think Omega and you’ll encourage hair re-growth and help prevent hair loss. Salmon, walnuts and flaxseed are among the top foods for this mighty essential!
• Selenium. Include selenium-rich tuna and turkey in your diet for a healthy scalp.

In addition to these important nutrient tips, be sure to stay hydrated. A minimum of eight glasses of water a day is a must. Choose natural foods, take a multi-vitamin supplement daily and be sure to get plenty of sleep.
And remember, the enemies of healthy hair include caffeine, refined flour and sugar, a low protein diet and processed foods.
