The types of foods you eat greatly affect your dandruff and you may have noticed as I have that sometimes you can have bad dandruff days and sometimes not so bad days.
This is usually due to what you ate the night before and how its affected your scalp and dead skin build up.
There are many foods that can increase the rate at which your scalp produces dead skin cells making it constant battle but by changing our diet to we can help to combat dandruff and prevent it from returning so quickly.
1.
Greens Greens are probably the most important to the health of your skin and scalp and not only will it put your body in a more alkaline state it will increase your water consumption which will also help your dandruff.
Modern diets are filled with refined sugars and white flour and fatty foods and its these types of foods that put our bodies out of balance and actually promote the growth of dandruff.
By increasing our green vegetable intake we can switch our bodies from a acidic state to a more alkaline for much healthy moisturized skin.
Getting enough greens is not easy and I usually make up for this with a shot of wheat grass or barley grass.
Get it added to your fruit juice's its quite delicious.
2.
Fish Oil This is one I could not live without because whenever I run out of fish oil capsules I instantly notice an increase in dandruff and dryness of my skin.
Its possible to get your fish oil from fresh fish and its preferable but its not always realistic so a fish oil supplement is a great boost.
I take around 7 x 1000mg capsules a day or maybe more on an especially dry day or during those winter months were cold air and dry heating cause havoc on my scalp.
3.
Protein Rich Food Protein is essential for proper body function, hair growth and healing so its important to maintain a high protein diet coming from rich natural sources like lean meat's, fish and beans.
Not only will it improve the health of your hair and scalp it has added benefits for weight loss and toning up your muscles.
Beans are one of my favourite protein sources and are packed with hair growing vitamins, give it a try and I'm sure you'll notice an improvement.
