We have access to many foods that can help us with hair loss naturally before we go and start spending our hard earned cash on all the different hair loss products out there. A quick trip to the grocery store and you will not only be eating better but you can also help stop your hair loss just by eating right.

I have listed 9 basic foods that will help deliver the natural hair loss vitamins and minerals needed to increase blood flow to the scalp and give the hair follicle everything it needs to start growing healthier hair. Of course everybody is different because we have different genetics and not every hair loss product can work for everyone but most of the hair loss products (mainly vitamins) out there are comprised of the ingrediance found in these natural food sources.

1. Fish

Fish is a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, Protein and essential fatty acids. Fatty acids play a major role in maintaining healthy nails, hair and skin.

2. Roast beef

Roast beef is a good source of Vitamin B-6 and Zinc. It’s also a good source of protein of course. Alternate foods for Vegans are chickpeas and Soy beans as they are very high in proteins and vitamins such as B6 and Zinc.

3. Oranges or Citrus fruits

Oranges (or orange juice) are a good source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C will help make iron found in meat and soy sources more absorbable. Vitamin C is a big part of the development of collagen, which is necessary for hair growth.

4. Almonds

Almonds are good sources of protein; Iron and Vitamin E. Eating Almonds will help lower your cholesterol. Caution: Some drugs used to lower cholesterol can actually cause hair loss.

5. Whole wheat

Whole wheat is a good source of Silica and Iron. Silica actually helps with the absorption of many other minerals and vitamins need for healthy hair. One of the main causes of hair loss could be the very lack of Silica in the diet.

6. Cow’s milk

Cow’s milk has absorbable Iodine. It’s impossible to overdose on Iodine from food sources unlike Iodized salt.

7. oats

Oats are a good source of easily absorbable Iron as well. It’s also a good source of Potassium, phosphorus and magnesium.

8. Soy beans

Soy is another great source of protein. It actually contains a large amount of two very important vitamins and minerals need for healthy hair, (Iron and Vitamin E). Iron is an important part of hemoglobin production. Hemoglobin is the main vehicle used to transport oxygen to all of the tissues in the body. Without it your hair won’t grow.

Vitamin E does a great job of increasing oxygen absorption and blood circulation to the scalp.

9. Chickpeas

Eating chickpeas basically kills two birds with one stone. You can get both zinc and the vitamin B-6 you need for healthy hair. The most important mineral needed for hair protein is Zinc.

Zinc also works together with Vitamin A. Missing one of those two causes you to have dandruff that could contribute to hair loss. If you eat roast beef instead you get all of the same benefits and protein as well.
