The study that was published in the journal Nature Cell Biology stated that the idea of using drugs to stimulate hair growth through hair follicle stem cells is very promising given how many millions of people, both men and women, deal with hair loss. Scientists have recently understood the importance and role of metabolism in hair growth and stem cells. While we still may have to wait for proven results, nothing can really beat foods that may help to promote hair growth. Here are some foods that you should include in your daily diet-
1. Eggs
Your hair is made up of protein, therefore it is imperative to ensure that you have enough protein in your diet. Protein is considered as the building block of hair and eggs make for the best sources of protein.
2. Citrus Fruits
Add citrus fruits including lemon and grapefruit to your daily diet as they are an excellent sources of vitamin C which is required for the production of collagen that plays a role in the production of capillaries. Capillaries connect to the hair shafts thus ensuring regular supply of nutrients and quick hair growth.
3. Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds have omega-3 fatty acids that help nourish your hair and promote thickening. Your body does not produce these fatty acids on its own, hence, it is important to add foods rich in healthy fats. Nuts like almonds and walnuts are great and seeds like flaxseeds can be included in your diet.
4. Carrots
Vitamin A present in carrots helps quick hair growth. It also helps the scalp in producing the natural sebum oil which keeps the roots healthy and boosts hair growth
