Not only these foods are easily available but more importantly, they are backed by Ayurveda and proven by modern science. We will discuss how and when to consume them so that you can get maximum benefit from these. So without any further delay, let’s get started. Hello Friends! Welcome to Fit Tuber. There is no doubt that our body gives low priority to hair. This is why when our body doesn’t get adequate nutrition, it ignores hair and focuses on other organs. But still, good hair not only adds an aesthetic appeal to your body but also boosts your confidence. Considering the high stress of today, bad food and cosmetic choices, hair fall has become common even among teenagers. So understanding that hair do add value to our life, let us talk about 5 Amazing foods that prevent hair fall. Starting with #5 on the list is Carrots Studies have shown a strong connection between vitamin A i.e. beta carotene deficiency and hair breakage. Well, there isn’t a better food for Vitamin A than carrot. Just 100 grams of carrots have a copious 16000 International units of vitamin A. Which is even more than the daily requirement. Apart from vitamin A, carrots have significant amount of Biotin which is well known for accelerating the keratin production. Keratin is the protein of which hair are made of. You will be surprised to know that carrots are a natural DHT blocker food as well. Science confirms that DHT is one of the main causes of hair fall especially in men. The hair supplementation industry runs on two things, biotin and DHT blocking pills. Both of which are present in carrot. No wonder today carrot oil is also making the rounds in this space. In fact, in a study, when a group applied carrot oil on the scalp, within few days, it was seen that more number of hair follicles got active as compared to 1% Minoxidil solution. Carrot also contains vital hair nutrients like Vitamin E,C and K along with strong antioxidants that prevent aging o hair. So if you are suffering from hair fall, or your hair are thinning down, you should include carrots in the form of sabzi, soups or vegetable pulao. Although, the best would be to have carrot salad. Every day before lunch or dinner, if you have plate of raw carrots and spice it up black salt, black pepper and lemon, this hair superfood won’t let you down. #4 on the list are Curry leaves Ayurvedic scriptures and Modern studies suggest that if one starts consuming curry leaves on a regular basis, not only hair breakage will reduce but also hair health will get much better. That’s because curry leaves are an amazing source of B vitamins and antioxidants, which contribute to cellular regeneration and promote healthy circulation to the blood vessels in the scalp making it among the top foods to prevent hair fall and hair thinning. The amino acid content that strengthens hair fibre is also very high in curry leaves. Surveys have shown that people in Southern part of India have significantly lesser hair problems. One concrete reason is that they use curry leaves to temper their dals and vegetables. Curd rice, Poha, curry leaf pulao, dalia, curry leaf raita, suffering from hair fall you should try and make curry leaves a part of daily diet. Another way to get the most from curry leaves, is to start consuming them raw. Curry leaf trees are so common in India. Pluck 4-5 curry leaves and simply chew them. Chew them well so that they turn into liquid in your mouth. It will hardly take 2 minutes but within a few weeks you will visibly notice a difference in your hair. One can also get curry leaf powder online. It can be used as a regular masala in your curries. So for the next 2 months include curry leaves in your diet in whichever way is convenient to you and get ready to bring back your good hair days #3 on the list is Buttermilk Buttermilk, or well-churned yogurt, mixed with double the amount of water and spiced appropriately is a hair elixir. How? You might wonder. Consider a plant whose leaves are falling. What could be the reason? Does the problem lies with the leaves. Quite obviously, the problem lies with the roots of the plant. Similarly, According to Ayurveda, the root of hair fall lies in the stomach. In fact, when an 86 year old chinese man suffering from alopecia, went through a fecal transplant, saw a sudden hair regrowth on the bald patches. So, if you are facing indigestion, your body won’t be able to absorb the vital hair nutrients from the food and as a result hair get weaker and eventually fall. That’s where buttermilk helps. Rich in probiotics and lactic acid when buttermilk is consumed post lunch, it strengthens the root i.e. the digestive system which then easily absorbs vital hair nutrients, from the consumed food. It also reduces body heat, another major cause of falling hair. Buttermilk is an excellent hair shampoo plus conditioner well. Two in 1. #2 on the list is Amla Amla is a time tested traditional medicine not only in India but also in other countries to promote hair and scalp health. Not surprisingly, today every hair product out there, be it a shampoo, conditioner or a hair oil boasts of amla in it. Talking of amla hair oil, there was a study done on rabbits and rats. Researchers placed patches containing amla oil in various concentrations on the animals’ fur and monitored fur growth for 15 days. What they found was that amla oil caused “significant” and rather rapid fur growth, and made fur healthier. Since Amla is extremely rich in antioxidants, when consumed as food, clinicial studies show that Amla acts as a powerful hair regenerator, stimulating the hair follicles and strengthening the roots. A study proved that Amla is among the top DHT blocking foods. Amla is filled with all good things but the problem is that its too sour to consume. But don’t worry. There are some real good ways in which you can easily consume amla. I will share with you 5 such ways. First, you can buy amla juice of any reputed brand and dilute it with equal amounts of water and have it 30 minutes before breakfast. Amla candy with honey and Amla murabba with honey are two healthy snack options that you can keep handy with yourself. Amalaki Rasayana is a powerful Ayurvedic Amla supplement whose ½ teaspoon can be mixed with honey and consumed anytime of the day. Raw amla when boiled with rice or curry gets easy to eat and can be consumed as pickle. Amla tablet is also available these days. In a nutshell, if you are not consuming amla in hair problems then you are making things harder than they are. Finally at #1 are Almonds Its amazing to know how much almonds have to offer to hair. Almonds are probably the best food source of Biotin, making them an excellent natural alternative to artificial biotin supplements. Science showed that application of almond oil to scalp increased hair growth as compared to mice treated with a placebo. In another study, when rats were divided into six groups, almond in one group and 5 other supplements including minoxidil. After 30 days, almond extract group beat other 5 in opening up new hair follicles. Almonds contain special fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid, which are proven DHT blockers. Vitamin E is another proven anti hair fall nutrient for which almonds are a dependable source. There are many ways in which we can consume almonds in our diet. However, there are 3 ways which are most practical. First, soak 4 almonds in water, peel the skin off and chew them until they become liquid in your mouth. Secondly, start having 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond butter. Third, have a teaspoon of sweet almond oil in a glass of milk before going to sleep at night. It is also useful to know that our local Gurbandi almonds which are smaller in size are actually bigger in nutritional profile than the California almonds. So choose wisely. To sum up, Curry leaves, carrots, amla, buttermilk and almonds are top 5 foods that stop hair fall. There are various ways by which you can include them. But let me try and share with you a sample full day routine comprising of these 5 hair foods.
