We need all 21 of the proteinogenic amino acids to build proteins and maintain healthy bodies. The amino acids most beneficial for the formation of healthy hair and nails are Histadine, Lysine, Arginine, Cysteine, Methionine, Serine, Proline, Glutamine, Glycine and Threonine. Foods classified as high protein foods contain amino acids as well as some unexpected veggie foods like celery and cucumbers.
Soy: The complete soy protein encourages hair growth. Eat edamame (soybeans), tofu and soy milk.
Eggs: Eggs are an amazing high quality protein food. They contain all the amino acids you need to build healthy keratin with only 78 calories. The chickens thank you for buying only cage free, free range humane eggs!

Omega 3 conditions the scalp. Eat soybeans, walnuts, flax seeds and salmon.

Omega 6 adds strength and shine to the hair. It also helps to fight dandruff. Eat cereals and grains, oils: flax seed, soybean, corn, sunflower, cottonseed, black currant and evening primrose and egg yolks.

B Vitamins, especially biotin, reduce hair loss and hair breakage. They improve hair strength and aid in the production of oil by the oil glands which conditions the scalp and hair. Biotin also prevents premature graying!

Probiotics
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, doing a study on probiotic yogurt and digestive health, found that the animals they were studying developed very shiny hair. The probiotic causes changes in the immune system and hormones that affect hair and skin. The scientists feel there would be a similar effect in people.
A healthy diet will help your body make healthy hair.
For me, a yummy salad full of veggies, hard boiled egg, nuts and seeds, is the perfect food for healthy hair, skin and nails. Good nutrition makes us healthier and more beautiful inside and out!Click here for healthy recipes!
