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.

Avocados – The whole fruit as well as avocado oil may prevent some of the things that kill hair follicles – dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – from getting where it wants to go.

Animal Fat - Cut our animal as well as palm and coconut oils (these oils raise your cholesterol) which lead to more DHT production and hair-follicle damage.

Green Tea – Brew a strong pot (leave tea steeping for 5 to 7 minutes), cool, then pour over your hair. This will help kill off dandruff causing fungus. Oz also says if you drink green tea with caffeine in it the tea may help prevent balding. Green tea works either on your hair directly or in your diet and your hair.

Some of the foods that help produce healthy hair also help prevent cancer such as carrots and beans. So by eating these foods you are getting a double benefit. Want to find out Dr. Oz’s other choices for foods that help to prevent cancer? See our post =>
