The best thing you can do to help grow your hair

To help with hair growth, most people would try out new products filled with biotin or use minoxidil. But to truly help with hair growth, you need to take prescribed medication like finasteride and fix the root of your problem, which will require you to change your lifestyle completely. Most of the time, a simple lifestyle change does the trick, but age and genetics do have a play, so it may not help everyone.

To promote hair growth, your hair requires root at the bottom of a follicle to be healthy. For your hair follicle to be healthy, blood needs to circulate to your scalp to supply oxygen and nutrients to it. In order to provide oxygen, you should exercise frequently, and in order to provide nutrients, you should eat healthy and avoid restrictive dieting.

Diet is critical when it comes to hair growth. For example, if you don’t take enough protein, shedding can occur. So to promote hair growth, 50 grams of protein or more per day are recommended on average. Of course other nutrients are needed as well, biotin, vitamin C/D/E, zinc, iron, omega-3, and omega-6 are all necessary for promoting hair growth. Mediterranean diet is the most popular for promoting healthy diet while providing all the necessary nutrients and was picked the most healthiest diet of all time for several years.

Finasteride and minoxidil blocks DHT to promote hair growth, but diet does this as well. Food sources that are rich in zinc such as mushrooms, green peas, beet greens, spinach, kale, pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, almonds and walnuts have the same effect, just not as concentrated. Mediterranean diet includes all of these ingredients, so it’s no wonder it promotes hair growth and healthier body. People can also put DHT blocking into shampoos as well for additional enhancements, for example, rosemary oil is one of the best proven to block DHT.

Exercise is also important due to oxygen and the relaxation. You need a way to relieve stress and circulate blood to balance out your hormones. Not only does it keep your hair healthy, your entire body will be healthy. You should do both cardio based and strength training and add in stretches every day. Exercising frequently and eating healthy requires dedication and time management, which will require you to sleep early and wake up early. It may be hard at first, but if you stick with it, your life will be for the better.
