Hi Everyone! Healthy hair comes from the inside out! Incorporating more fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet will help you achieve that healthy hair you want. My husband and I like to do the raw diet-one week out of every month. The raw diet is very simple. You eat only raw fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Like all diets (lifestyle changes) the first day or two is challenging...but rewarding. You become attuned with your body. Everyday I eat a large portion of raw sliced carrots. Carrots are packed with vitamin A and antioxidants with stimulate hair growth.Cucumbers help give your hair a nice shine and aids in hair growth. Cucumbers have silica (not to be confused with the desiccant silica gel, which should not be ingested) which restores and strengthens connective tissues (muscles, tendons, bones, cartilage, and ligaments.) It is also noted that silica is good for hair growth, complexion, skin elasticity, and fingernails. Keep the peel or slice it or make a drink out of it. Your hair and skin will thank you for it!!
Adding new and interesting fresh foods to your menu keeps your palette from getting bored. And it's fun. Try buying avocados, bananas, grapes, kiwi, watermelon, bean sprouts, soy beans, etc. Again your hair, skin, nails and body will thank you over and over again.
Best Wishes, Good Health and Happy Hair Growing!!!

Going Raw isn't as bad as people think. You have so much diversity in what you can eat. For instance Raw Hummus. Its made from chick peas and go great with celery or grape tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I totally believe in doing things gradually. Eating raw fruits and vegetables one week out the month gives you an idea of how your life will be. (if you became a raw vegan) In fact once you've done it for a week you will feel lighter, have more energy and overall feel much better.
