Eating for Hair Growth

Concerned about your hair health and its growth rate? Here is some information...

The main nutrient in hair is protein says the Mayo Clinic. So, a natural remedy that can improve your hair health and growth rate involves eating foods that contain protein. The protein can be from either plant-based or animal-based sources.

Soy is a plant-based, protein-rich source that you can use to your advantage. Soy foods include tofu, tempeh, miso, soy milk and various meatless dishes. Usually, the food packaging will state the type of protein the product contains. (At least they should.)

Of course, there are a variety of animal-based protein sources. These include beef, lamb, veal, venison, poultry and seafood.

Make certain to include the protein as part of a well-balanced diet in order to gain as many benefits as possible.
