Omega-3 deficiency and hair fall: Here's what you should eat

Right from taking care of your heart health to helping the body perform a variety of functions smoothly, omega-3 is essential for the body.

According to Lovneet, if you are experiencing increased hair loss or have noticed that your hair is thinning or feeling dry and brittle, consider taking omega-3. She says, "Just as omega-3 fats help retain moisture in the skin, they also help keep your hair healthy. Changes in hair texture, integrity, and density may indicate a low omega-3 status."

Not only this, the health expert mentions the foods that you must eat in this condition. Food items that are rich in omega-3 include ghee, olive oil, almonds, walnuts, flax seeds and chia seeds.

Other foods that can help boost hair health

What you eat affects your hair as well as skin. A healthy, well-balanced diet can help control hair fall and enhances your overall hair quality.

Other than foods rich in omega-3, other foods that are good for your hair include: eggs, berries, spinach, nuts, seeds, avocados and green leafy vegetables.
