5Dry fruits and nuts –


Dry fruits are packed with nutrients beneficial for hair growth. Raisins and dates should be had for their high iron content. On a side note, drinking tea or coffee when snacking on these will prevent the absorption of iron. Walnuts are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. If you have diabetes, it’d be better to consult your doctor before deciding how much you dry fruits can eat in a day.

You might be able to toss a few dry fruits into this mix and still keep your blood sugar levels at a healthy low. The Macadamia nut is a true hero, while we’re on the subject of highly nutritious nuts to reach for. Zinc deficiency sometimes manifests in hair shedding. Apart from walnuts, cashews and almonds are also great sources of this mineral.
