Food Going Straight To Your Head?

What’s the most important meal of the day? On the subject of hair loss, it’s all of them. After reading WebMD.com’s article about ten foods that encourage healthy hair I found myself a bit more aware of how I eat. Come to find out…

“If you're tempted to drop pounds fast with the latest fad diet, it could leave you with less-than-healthy hair – along with a growling stomach. Low-calorie diets are often low in some of the most important nutrients for healthy hair”

Ok, the last thing anyone needs is an excuse not to diet, but that isn’t really what we’re after here. While the late afternoon “microwave special with cheese” keeps the growling down, it may in fact be discouraging your hairline. Below is a quick list of WebMD’s ten “healthy hair” foods. Check out the entire article to find out some of the finer details of a balanced diet.
