3 Foods for Healthy Hair for Vegetarians and Vegans

1. Spinach

Spinach is not only beneficial for hair, but for the whole body, because it is rich in iron and folate.

Folate is a B vitamin, which is essential for red blood cell creation.

And iron helps those blood cells carry oxygen to the tissues.

You have probably heard of anemia - a condition, when the cells cannot function properly due to the lack of oxygen.

The result is low energy, fatigue, and there can be even hair loss.

Adopting spinach in your diet on a regular basis can help prevent or eliminate these symptoms.

As for the frequency of eating spinach, consult with your doctor in case you have kidney problems.

2. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes contain Beta-carotene - a chemical, which gets converted into vitamin A in our body, when the need arises.

If one experiences vitamin A deficiency, it may lead to dry and dull hair, dry scalp and consequently to dandruff.

Besides sweet potatoes, Beta-carotene is found in carrots, pumpkin, asparagus, kale and dark green lettuce.

While vitamin A is necessary for the health of the hair and scalp, too much of it may actually lead to hair fall.

3. Lentils

Lentils are a great source of iron and protein, suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Protein is the building material for our cells, and as for the hair, it is build out of protein called keratin.

If there is not enough protein, the hair growth slows down, and the strands become weaker.

Iron present in lentils, enhances the nourishment of hair follicles, thus contributing to healthier and stronger hair.

To improve the iron absorption, consume it along with the foods high in vitamin C.

A note for slender persons: Your body type is probably Vata, so to avoid gases from eating lentils, soak them overnight before cooking.
