Healthy Hair Diet
If dry, limp hair is weighing you down, then this diet is for you.
Did you know that what you eat is reflected in the health of your
hair? All of the hair-revitalizing shampoos in the world won't help
if you aren't nourishing your body. Here's how the Healthy Hair
Diet can help: Just like your body, your hair needs a balanced,
nutritious diet to stay healthy.
That's why this food plan contains a rainbow of fruits and vegetables
that are loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, whole grains for
minerals, nuts and seeds for minerals and vitamins, and lean protein
for iron. A fortified breakfast cereal will help your body get all
of the other good stuff it needs.
Water not only hydrates your body, but helps
keep your hair silky and shiny. This diet includes eight to 10 glasses
of water and juices a day for maximum hydration.
The fiber from fruits, vegetables, grains
and legumes is good for your body and your hair. This meal plan
features lots of fiber-containing food as an option at each meal.
Soy products contain phytoestrogens -- estrogens
from plants -- that may boost your health, so this diet offers soymilk
as a beverage choice and soy nuts as a snack option.
