Hi, Dr. Miller here. Are you looking for the secret to healthy hair? It comes down to what you eat. Load up on fruit.
Brightly colored fruit like peaches and strawberries are rich in vitamin C, which creates collagen and makes your hair strong.
Drink green tea, snack on walnuts, or add salmon to your meals. These foods are loaded with polyphenols and omega-3s.
They're good for your heart and brain, and they make your hair shiny. If you have dandruff, try rinsing with green tea. It can help to prevent dandruff-causing fungus.
To slow down hair loss, eat beans, whole grains, and other vitamin B rich foods. B vitamins supply blood and oxygen
to your hair follicles, which helps with hair growth. Add dark green veggies like spinach, broccoli, or Swiss chard to your meals.
They're loaded with vitamins A and C, which help to produce sebum. That's your scalp oil that's a natural hair conditioner.
