Many women dream of having thick, shiny, and strong hair, but cosmetics alone are often not enough. True results come from a balanced diet, as vitamins and minerals from food nourish hair from the inside and help reduce breakage. Here are three fruits that can strengthen your hair and enhance its beauty, according to Health.
Fruits to add to your diet
Apples
Apples contain procyanidins B2, compounds that stimulate keratin production. This makes hair stronger and more resistant to damage. Apple extract is often used in supplements to prevent hair loss.
Berries
Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and currants are rich in vitamin C and natural antioxidants. They improve scalp microcirculation, aid iron absorption, and reduce hair fragility.
Papaya
This fruit is a source of beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamins A and C, and the enzyme papain. Papaya supports sebum production, improves scalp health, and nourishes hair follicles.
How to eat these fruits
Fruits can be added to:
- Oatmeal is rich in zinc and B vitamins, which are important for hair and nails
- Yogurts
- Homemade smoothies and shakes.
It is best to eat them raw, as this preserves the maximum amount of nutrients.
Why these fruits are a safe choice
Apples, berries, and papaya are low in sugar, making them suitable even for those watching their weight or avoiding sweets.
Berries act as powerful antioxidants, fighting free radicals, while apples improve digestion due to their fiber content and help maintain a healthy weight.
