Did you know that we can lose up to 100 strands of hair a day? It’s okay because we have on average nearly 200,000 in our scalp and most of it does come back. This amount declines in time because natural aging takes it’s course. The main causes of hair loss are stress, iron deficiency and hormonal changes. The biggest improvement you can make is just to simply change your diet to healthier choices.

If we increase iron in our diet it will definitely improve hair growth. Silica with vitamins and minerals from food sources are also important. We can also add more protein because good fats are necessary for healthy hair.

Eat These Foods to Improve Hair Growth:

• all green leafy vegetables
• nuts
• beans
• fish
• greek yogurt
• cherry juice
• cucumbers
• peppers
• avocado
• kiwi
• strawberries
• oranges
• lemon
• limes

These are some of the top choices for a healthy head of hair. Please keep in mind all lean meats are good but steak is not recommended. Keeping your body’s pH balanced is important and steak is acidic. A good rule of thumb is to stay away from anything white and only eat colors of the rainbow.
