According to Cosmetic Skin Specialist Mitchell Green of New York, vitamins are very important for hair health and growth. They help prevent the problem of hair loss and thinning. He says that for the right hair growth, a balanced amount of vitamin B, D, E, zinc, biotin and iron is necessary. Especially vitamin B7 i.e. biotin and B12 play an important role in strengthening and keeping them soft and soft.
Biotin is considered the most essential vitamin for hair. It strengthens hair roots and increases the growth of new hair. Due to its deficiency, hair starts getting thinner and starts falling. You can include eggs, almonds, walnuts, cauliflower, broccoli and soy products in your diet to fulfill biotin. Apart from this, biotin supplement can also be taken with the advice of a doctor. Apart from this, B12 is very important, which you get from dairy products.
Vitamin A – beneficial for scalp
Vitamin A keeps our scalp hydrated and helps in making sebum (a kind of natural oil), which does not dry the hair and improves their growth. Scalp can be dry and irritated by vitamin A deficiency. Foods like carrots, sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes), spinach, pumpkin, mangoes and milk are rich in vitamin A.
Vitamin E – Shiny and strong hair
Vitamin E works like an antioxidant that improves blood circulation, which gives sufficient oxygen and nutrition to the scalp. This makes the hair strong and keeps their brightness. Foods like sunflower seeds, almonds, peanuts, avocado and spinach are a good source of vitamin E. Vitamin C helps in making collagen for hair growth which is necessary in maintaining hair structure. It also helps in the absorption of iron, which strengthens the roots of the hair. Lemon, orange, amla, kiwi, tomatoes and green chillies are rich in vitamin C. Iron and zinc are very important to strengthen the hair roots and prevent them from breaking. Due to their deficiency, hair starts falling quickly and there is dryness in the scalp. Include green leafy vegetables, jaggery, beet, lentils, seeds (pumpkin, chia) and nuts in your diet.
