Your hair actually loves these 5 foods, and after sticking to them for a week, I even noticed fewer gray hairs.
Hey, friends! Do you often find yourself staring in the mirror, worrying about your hair not being black and shiny enough? Have you tried all sorts of shampoos and conditioners, but your hair is still not looking great? Today, let me share with you that hair actually loves these 5 foods. As long as you keep eating them, I guarantee your hair will become beautiful!
1. Black Sesame Seeds: The "Black Magic Stone" for Hair
When it comes to black sesame seeds, they are truly a lifesaver for hair! Studies have shown that black sesame seeds are rich in vitamin E, B vitamins, and various minerals, especially high in iron and zinc. Every 100 grams of black sesame seeds contains about 50 milligrams of vitamin E, which is more than many fruits!
I have a girlfriend whose hair used to be yellow and dry, and she always had hair loss. After following my advice and eating two tablespoons of black sesame seeds every day, she saw amazing results. She roasted the sesame seeds, ground them into powder, and drank a cup every morning. After half a year, her hair became black and shiny, and the hair loss significantly decreased. According to her, she now loses less than 10 strands of hair every time she combs her hair, while she used to lose a handful!
There are many ways to eat black sesame seeds. Besides drinking it as powder, you can make black sesame paste or black sesame cakes. My favorite is black sesame cakes, which are fragrant and crispy, and easy to make. Mix black sesame seeds, eggs, and honey, press into thin cakes, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Eating two or three pieces every day will surely make your hair beautiful!
2. Black Beans: The "Nutritional Treasure" for Hair
Black beans are another treasure, rich in protein, B vitamins, and isoflavones. Every 100 grams of black beans contains about 36 grams of protein, which is higher than pork! B vitamins promote hair growth, making hair thicker.
My colleague's husband, due to work stress, had thinning hair. She made him black bean porridge every day. She soaked the black beans for 4 hours, then cooked them with rice in a 1:2 ratio until the beans were soft. After drinking it for three months, his hair noticeably increased, and you couldn't see his scalp anymore!
Besides porridge, black beans can be made into soy milk or black bean rib soup, all delicious and nutritious.
3. Walnuts: The "Nourishing Angel" for Hair
Everyone is familiar with walnuts, and they have many benefits for hair! Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin H, and protein. Every 100 grams of walnuts contains more than 50 grams of unsaturated fatty acids.
My cousin used to have fragile and dull hair. After eating three walnuts every day for two months, her hair became strong and shiny, and hair breakage significantly reduced.
There are many ways to eat walnuts, too. You can eat them directly, make walnut cookies, or walnut chicken. My mom often makes walnut chicken for us, frying walnuts with chicken, which is fragrant, nutritious, and good for both hair and body!
4. Salmon: The "Smoothing Secret" for Hair
Salmon is a great food, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and protein. According to nutritionists, every 100 grams of salmon contains about 2 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids.
My neighbor used to have frizzy and split hair. After eating salmon twice a week, either raw or grilled, for half a year, her hair became incredibly smooth, as if she had undergone high-end treatments.
Cooking salmon is not difficult either. When grilling salmon, just add a bit of olive oil in the pan, grill until both sides are golden, and sprinkle with black pepper and salt. It's simple and delicious, and makes your hair beautiful!
5. Spinach: The "Growth Assistant" for Hair
Lastly, let's talk about spinach, which is full of vitamins A and C, both of which are very helpful for hair growth. Every 100 grams of spinach contains 487 micrograms of vitamin A and 32 milligrams of vitamin C.
A classmate of mine used to have slow hair growth. After following a nutritionist's advice and eating a plate of spinach salad every day, she noticed a significant increase in hair growth speed after three months, and now she doesn't need to go to the salon for a haircut all year long!
Spinach can also be stir-fried or made into soup, all delicious.
Friends, if you want to have black and smooth hair, you can't just rely on external care; dietary adjustments are key! Incorporate these five foods into your diet, and your hair will surely become beautiful!
