We all know or have heard at some point in our adult lives that our bodies are reflections of what we consume. What we put into our bodies shows up in our energy, mood, skin, hair, and nails etc. This is because the functions of our bodies are altered by how we choose to take care of it, that is if you do not have any known underlying medical conditions or take any medications that may contribute to alterations in your body's natural function. Although it is not always easy to change our eating habits long term, you can increase your overall health by making changes in what you are consuming daily.

 

   Now, let's talk healthy hair. Sometimes we are not getting all the essential nutrients our hair needs to grow including Zinc, Biotin (vitamin B7), Vitamin D, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Iron, and Protein. In addition to eating better you may consider taking a daily supplement that has the nutritional compound needed. It is recommended to see your doctor to get blood tests to check for nutritional deficiencies or thyroid issues that might be affecting your hair growth. It is so important to invest in your overall health as something such as lack of hair growth can indicate greater health issues. Please, take care.
