Mostly all of us have trouble with our tresses. The most common problem is dandruff. Dandruff and a dry scalp are caused by deficiency of zinc. To compensate eat more pulses, seeds, shellfish and meat.
If you are troubled by greasy hair, try cutting down on sugary foods. Wash your hair often with the mildest shampoo available.
Vitamin A deficiency can lead to lacklustre hair. Eat 2 to 3 eggs a week and plenty of carrots, dried apricots and dark green leafy vegetables.
Stress is not a direct cause of hair loss but can worsen it. Stressed people are often low in B vitamins. Eat more whole-grain cereal, oily fish, yoghurts, eggs and milk.
If you are taking contraceptive pills and suffer hair loss, consult your GP about changing to a formula with less progesterone.
Maintaining correct iron levels is vital for hair growth. If you don’t eat red meat, take a supplement.
Green leafy vegetables such as spinach with its delicate texture and jade green colour provide more nutrients than any other food. When compared to red meat it is far ahead, as it provides iron for a lot less calories and is totally fat free.
Cooked spinach is an excellent source of iron, a mineral that is important for menstruating women, who are at risk of iron deficiency.
