Vitamin B Deficiency and Hair Loss

You look amazingly young for your age but your hair is still getting thinner on your head and thicker in other places you don’t want it to. You have tried hair products guaranteed to bring results but have had no luck. Dr Oz says take a look at your diet and your hair. Here is a list of the tops foods for better hair according to Dr. Mehmet Oz who you have probably seen on Oprah or on his own show on cable – The Dr. Oz show.

Salmon – Omega-3-rich foods such as salmon and sardines help seal in your hair’s shine. Distilled fish oils or DHA supplement will work too. Oz recommends 2g of fish oil if you’re taking a supplement that contains both EPA and DHA. If you’re taking DHA alone, you need only 600 mg.

Bran - Bran is rich in Vitamin B, which may slow hair loss and promote hair growth. Other B-rich foods include beans, peas, carrots, cauliflower, soybeans, nuts and eggs. Increase the fiber in your diet and your hair may grow faster.
