Dig into healthy food for perfect nails

 [ad name=”HTML-1″]
The strength of nails is largely determined by one’s genes. However, a healthy and balanced diet is necessary for overall health and the general well being of the nails as well, say experts.Here’s a list of what you can eat to get strong nails:MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS LIKE YOGURT AND CHEESE:They are rich in calcium, biotin and proteins. Nail primarily comprises keratin, which is a protein. A protein-rich diet helps in strengthening this keratin matrix. Biotin and calcium help in strengthening the nail plate and make it less prone to cracking.

PUMPKIN SEEDS, SESAME SEEDS AND OATS:

These food items are rich sources of zinc, which is a micronutrient that isn’t easily available in foods. Zinc deficiency is, therefore, common and can lead to brittle and fragile nails and also white spots on the nails.Eating roasted pumpkin seeds can provide a healthy dose of this micronutrient and prevent fragile nails.

EGG WHITE:

It is a rich source of protein and helps in making the keratin of nails thicker and stronger. It also provides a rich source of biotin.However, raw eggs have a binder that binds to biotin and makes it nonabsorbable. People who consume large amounts of raw egg whites can, therefore, have biotin deficiency which can actually lead to brittle and fragile nails. Cooked egg whites are healthy and good for the nails.

FISH:

It is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and also provides a healthy dose of proteins and sulphur.Salmon, mackerel, cod and sardine have high quantities of omega 3 fatty acids, which moisturises the nail bed and increases the suppleness of thin and brittle nails.Phosphorous and sulphur help in strengthening the nail.

ORGAN MEAT LIKE LIVER:

Liver from non-vegetarian sources is rich in iron. Deficiency of iron is particularly common among vegetarians as vegetarian sources of iron (non-haem iron) are not as good as haem iron present in non-vegetarian sources. For people who are purely vegetarian, a diet containing spinach, lentils, beans and jaggery can help.

Protect your hair

Yes, protection is one of the best way to keep all your hair troubles at bay. Try to protect your hair from extreme temperature, sun, dirt and pollution. These can be responsible for causing infection on your scalp, which will lead to hair fall, dandruff and other hair problems.

Handle with care

After a shower, make sure you don’t brush your hair immediately, as this can cause hair damage. Wet hair is weak and fragile. So, wait until your hair dries up and then gently comb your hair.

Condition your hair

To avoid frizzy hair, make sure you moisturise your hair with a good conditioner. After conditioning your hair, wash it off thoroughly and then allow it to air-dry.

Don’t make hair styling a habit

Most hair styling products generate lots of heat, which can damage hair, if you them on a regular basis. Never overuse, your hair styling products, and always use a good hair serum, to minimise damage.

Avoid tying your hair tight

The more you twist and turn your hairband, the more you will be damaging your hair. Instead, of tying your hair all the time, leave it loose or use a headband or a clip.

Cleanse your hair thoroughly

The most important reason for hair fall is dandruff and an itchy scalp. Therefore, maintain optimum cleanliness, if you want to flaunt your hair in public.

Prepare your hair mask

Once a week, treat your hair to a good hair mask, this will give your hair some essential nutrients. Hair masks are easy to prepare. Simply mash a banana, add some egg, mix it and apply it on your hair. Wash it off after 30 minutes.

Eat right food

Besides, treating your hair to a good hair mask and conditioner, you also need to give essential nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat a balanced diet, this will help your hair grow quickly and add lustre and shine.

Oil your hair

Make sure you oil your hair at least once a week. Oiling your hair once a week is very important, as it boosts blood flow to the scalp. You can either use coconut oil or almond oil to get shiny, thick hair.

Brush your hair regularly

Brush your hair, to spread the naturally present oil across the scalp. This will help to add lustre and shine to your hair.
