Healthy Foods for Hair Growth

Avocados

Avocados are tasty and nutritious. This type of fruit is loaded with a lot of healthy fats and vitamin E, which might boost your hair growth. One medium-sized avocado would provide around 20 percent of your daily needs of vitamin E. This nutrient contains antioxidants that would help you fight against oxidative stress and neutralize free radicals. Also, it can protect some skin areas, such as your scalp, from damage and oxidative stress. Damaged skin on this part could lead to fewer hair follicles and poorer quality of hair. In addition, fatty acids in avocados can’t be generated by the body. Being important building blocks of body cells, a deficiency in those components would trigger hair loss. [5]
