How To Grow Long, Shiny, Healthy Hair
Many men and women complain that their hair is not growing. They
buy the most popular hair products, which promise more shine and
growth. They buy supplements and read magazines looking for the
next quick fix. But what many men and women fail to realize it
that the way they treat their bodies plays an enormous role in
the state of their hair.
Here are some helpful tips to help grow healthier hair:
Consume a diet high in vital nutrients mainly beta carotene,
iodine and protein are necessary for shiny healthy hair.
Iodine is necessary for the production of the thyroid
hormone thyroxin. This hormone promotes hair growth. The foods
that contain iodine are seafoods like cod, mussels, seaweed and
haddock.
Beta Carotene is actually converted by the body into
vitamin A which makes the hair strong. You can find it in green
and yellow fruits and vegetables like green peppers and
cantaloupes.
Protein can be found in foods like meat, eggs and nuts to
name a few.
Also, try to exercise weekly. This helps improve the circulation
while getting your body in shape and making your body "work"
better.
The hormones and healthy chemical processes taking place in your
body during your workout sessions, assist in overall health.
Get out! Well, I'm not saying this rudely. But rather literally.
Get out of the house more often and get some sun. If you're at
the office during the day, take a short walk outside on your
lunch break. Studies have shown that healthy doses of vitamin D
received from the sun actually plays a role in hair growth. But
don't forget to protect your hair and scalp at all times.
Always apply a sunscreen lotion to your skin and wear a hat if
you're outside for long periods of time. If you're not wearing a
hat a great tip is applying some sunscreen lotion to the exposed
skin on your scalp. This will keep the area from getting burned.
Remember, take care of your hair and skin. You'll be thankful in
years to come!
