Monsoon diet for healthy hair!

Does drenching in the rain make your heart dance? Well, that’s not the case with your hair. While monsoon is, in fact, our favourite season, it can bring a lot of issues for our hair and scalp. The increase in moisture makes your hair frizzy. The moisture also weakens hair roots, making you prone to more hair fall than ever. People often start using various hair care products that can help save their hair from falling and becoming frizzy. While it is important to take care of our hair from the outside, it is equally important that your diet should be nutritious enough to get the right nourishment for hair.

Here are some of the foods you can include to your diet for healthy and bouncy hair:

Chia seeds

Chia seeds made their way into our households due to its miraculous weight-loss power. But little is known about its hair-nourishing properties. These vegan-friendly seeds are rich in protein, having keratin present in them, which makes your hair smooth, strong and shiny. Chia seeds are rich in minerals e.g., copper and zinc, boosting hair growth and fighting scalp infections. The amino acids present in chia seeds help reduce thinning of hair, making them thick and bouncy.

 

Amla

A superfood for hair, Amla contains fatty acids, minerals and vitamins that can be applied to the hair and also be consumed. It helps fight premature greying of hair.  Consuming Amla powder on an empty stomach in the morning, with warm water can help make your hair stronger and shinier.

Kale Powder

Kale is a rich source of Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and manganese. It is as nutritious for the hair as it is for your gut health. Adding kale powder to your smoothie or adding it to your salad, can help strengthen hair strands and boost hair growth. If you are looking for kale powder, try Adya Organics’ Kale Powder — an organic superfood for long and bouncy hair.

Eggs

Protein is the building block of the body as well as your hair. Your daily intake of protein is directly related to the healthy growth of your hair. Eggs are one such superfood that are not only a rich source of protein, but also provide Biotin, which is an essential element in keratin — a protein present in the hair responsible for hair growth. Therefore, one must include eggs in their diet to keep the hairfall and hair growth problems at bay.
