When it comes to having healthy hair, there are several factors that come into play. Luscious locks are often due to great genetics, a great hair care routine, and a healthy diet. The weather, certain hair products, and unhealthy foods can damage your hair more than you realize. So how do you improve the health of your hair? 

The foods you eat can cripple or benefit the body. Healthy hair requires a lot of essential nutrients, which most people don’t get in the Standard American Diet. They might think they are getting the nutrients, but overcooking foods or adding other refined carbs or sugars can negate those benefits. Just like the various organs and systems in your body, each strand of hair requires consistent nourishment. 

Despite what people tell you, the nutrients you need for your hair are abundant in plant-based foods. Some of the primary nutrients that are necessary for hair growth include omega-3 fatty acids, protein, iron, vitamins A, C, & E, and biotin. Check out the following list with some of our favorite foods for healthy hair growth.

Consuming magnesium-rich foods is beneficial because the body needs it for many of its functions.

A magnesium deficiency can lead to an increased risk of anxiety, osteoporosis, or muscle spasms, among other conditions.
