all about hair . Hey

1:25

there , ever heard the saying you are

1:27

what you eat . Well , when it comes to your hair

1:29

and your overall health , it's spot on

1:31

. Just like your body needs good nutrition

1:33

to thrive , your hair craves it too . If

1:36

you've been dealing with issues like damaged hair

1:38

, hair loss or flaky scalp , it

1:40

might be time to take a look at what you're putting into

1:42

your body . Believe me , what's going on

1:44

inside seriously affects what's happening

1:46

on the outside , and I'm not just talking

1:48

about your hair . But don't worry , it's

1:51

not all doom and gloom , but making

1:53

sure you're getting the right nutrients , like vitamin

1:55

A , omega-3 fatty acids and

1:57

biotin through balanced diet can give

1:59

your hair the love it deserves . And hey , I'm

2:01

not saying you need to rush out and stock up on supplements

2:04

they're not all created equal , after all but focusing

2:06

on fresh , whole foods can work wonders

2:09

for both your hair and your overall well-being

2:11

. Your body and your hair will

2:13

thank you later . Well , let's

2:15

talk about the top 10 superfoods that can

2:18

help you achieve your healthiest

2:20

hair . Number one salmon

2:22

. One of my favorite foods . I don't know

2:24

about you . This is packed with omega-3

2:27

fatty acids and salmon is like

2:29

a superfood for your hair . It

2:31

nourishes your hair follicles and

2:33

it keeps your scalp in tip-top shape

2:35

. Also , you can have

2:38

salmon like

2:40

salmon , salad , salmon on

2:42

bagels with cream cheese , or

2:44

you can actually bake your salmon

2:46

, fry it in a pan . So , whatever

2:49

you get it , you can even get

2:51

it in envelopes or cans , and that's fine

2:53

too . Just

2:55

try it in all kinds of ways , because you do really

2:57

need the omega-3 fatty acids , especially

3:02

if you're suffering from dry scalp

3:04

. It really does help . If you

3:06

feel like you're not eating enough salmon , then

3:08

go grab yourself some omega-3 fatty acids

3:11

in a supplement , but you don't

3:13

have to do that if you're getting salmon . Okay

3:15

. Number two spinach . Spinach

3:17

is easy to sneak into your diet . Okay

3:20

, this leafy green is a powerhouse

3:22

of iron , vitamin A and

3:24

C and folate . You

3:26

can sneak this into a smoothie . You

3:28

don't even taste it , so don't worry about it . You

3:31

can sneak it into sandwiches instead

3:33

of using iceberg lettuce that really

3:35

doesn't have much nutritional value

3:38

. You can put

3:40

it into lasagna or

3:42

pizza , or

3:44

I like to steam

3:47

chicken breasts not

3:49

steam them , but on

3:51

the oven and then with

3:54

some onions and garlic , things like that and

3:56

then I will , at the very end , throw

3:58

in spinach and

4:00

it wilts over it and it's just

4:02

really nice and it works , so

4:05

okay . Number three sweet potatoes

4:08

. I love sweet potatoes , sweet potato

4:10

french fries . These

4:12

are loaded with beta-carotene . And

4:15

there you go too , for maintaining that

4:17

healthy scalp glow

4:21

, because they convert vitamin A . So

4:23

how can you get more sweet potatoes ? Well

4:26

, if you're eating regular baked potatoes , just swap

4:28

a sweet potato . Or

4:31

you can bake them , you can fry them

4:33

, you can make sweet potato hash with corned beef

4:35

, you can make sweet potato french

4:37

fries . Like I said , wonderful , really good

4:39

stuff , all right . Number four eggs

4:42

. You know , eggs

4:44

are so great , this is just

4:46

like a breakfast staple . You can boil them , fry

4:48

them , poach them , scramble

4:51

them , however you want . You know , eat

4:53

a couple of eggs a day . They are full of

4:55

protein , biotin and other

4:57

essential nutrients that promote strong

4:59

, healthy hair growth . So don't be afraid

5:01

of eating your eggs . And yeah

5:04

, you could probably throw them in your smoothie

5:07

too , but I don't do that . Number

5:10

five avocado . Who doesn't

5:12

love avocado ? Avocado

5:15

toast . We

5:17

use avocados on everything sandwiches

5:19

. We even do frozen avocado in

5:22

our smoothies . These

5:24

avocados , they're just a rich source

5:26

of vitamin E and C , so

5:29

they help to fight off oxidative stress

5:31

and they boost collagen production . So

5:34

healthy hair , healthy skin all that good

5:36

stuff . Number six nuts

5:38

and seeds . Keep nuts around

5:40

for snacking . Not only do they fill

5:42

you up because of the protein , but

5:45

they also have omega-3 fatty acids

5:47

, they have zinc and they have vitamin

5:50

E . All of this supports

5:52

your hair health and it also helps

5:54

to keep your hair from shedding , and

5:56

if you're like me , you

5:58

don't want to lose any of your hair . My

6:01

hair is fine enough , thin enough . Number

6:04

seven Greek yogurt . Now

6:07

this you want to get the one that's

6:09

not flavored , because the flavored Greek yogurts are

6:11

full of sugar . Just get plain

6:13

Greek yogurt and then add your berries

6:16

and your nuts to your Greek yogurt

6:18

and then , if it's not sweet enough , you can always

6:20

put Stevia or something healthier than

6:22

high fructose corn syrup . But

6:24

anyway , back to the Greek yogurt . It's

6:26

full of high protein and it's a

6:28

must have for maintaining your hair structure

6:31

. It's got

6:33

vitamin B5 and

6:35

it keeps your hair looking shiny

6:37

. Number eight

6:39

berries . Now

6:42

the best . I shouldn't say that I'm

6:44

not a doctor , but what I tend to

6:46

eat are strawberries , blueberries , raspberries

6:48

, okay , but any kind of berries

6:51

. These are bursting with antioxidants

6:53

, vitamins and minerals , and they're

6:55

not only delicious but

6:57

they promote overall health . They're

6:59

one of those superfoods . Blueberries are , indeed

7:02

, but this includes your hair

7:04

too . You can hide them in

7:06

smoothies . You can put them in yogurt . You

7:08

can put them on salads this

7:10

, yeah . Sneak them in . Put them on cereal

7:12

if you're having cereal in the morning , okay

7:15

. Lean poultry Now

7:17

, if you're a vegan , you might have

7:19

to dismiss this one , but lean poultry

7:21

, what I mean is like skinless

7:23

poultry , chicken

7:26

breasts . However you want to cook

7:28

it , it's a healthy dose of protein

7:30

and iron , and it's what's

7:33

essential for keeping your hair strong and vibrant . And

7:36

then , our last but not least , oysters

7:39

. Don't forget about oysters

7:41

, I know right , you didn't think that was on

7:43

the list . Oysters are rich in zinc

7:45

, and that is a mineral

7:47

that supports hair growth and helps prevent

7:49

hair loss . So , hey

7:52

, whatever

7:54

you think oysters are for , they're also for healthy

7:56

hair , right ? Anyway

7:58

, I hope this list has got

8:01

you thinking , gets you going down

8:04

a different grocery aisle , and

8:06

I would probably give it a good three

8:08

months of eating healthier like

8:11

this before you see the results

8:13

. You see , keeping

8:15

your hair healthy doesn't have to be complicated

8:17

. It's as easy as enjoying a balanced

8:19

diet packed with nutrient rich foods . Just

8:22

dive into the delicious options we've mentioned

8:24

and get ready to see your hair healthier

8:26

than ever before . Thanks
