Would you like a hair thick and strong?

Foods to be included regularly in your diet to keep healthy and strong hair. And - surprise! - Even your muscles

01. Protein

You know that to build muscle you need an adequate amount of protein: the same that you need also to have healthy hair, since they consist primarily of protein.

The best sources: chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, low fat dairy products (cheese, milk, yoghurt).
02. Zinc

Several studies have shown that this mineral can affect the levels of androgens, which are related to hair loss.

The best sources: oysters, nuts (walnuts, cashews, pecans, almonds), beans, beef, lamb.

03. Iron

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic (Ohio) have reviewed 11 studies of the relationship between iron intake and loss of hair, and concluded that low iron levels can lead to baldness. And again according to scientists in Ohio, taking care of the deficiencies of this mineral you could also promote regrowth of hair.

The best sources: lean red meat, turkey, egg yolk, dried beans, dried fruits, whole grains.
