In the midst of a pandemic like the one we are
facing, one healthy rule many of us live by is to
ensure we eat immune boosting foods. While we
are trying to stay healthy, we also want to look as
beautiful despite COVID-19 and one way to do
that, is to intentionally take in foods that are good
for your looks like the hair for example.
Here are some healthy food to take to help your
3
hair while keeping your immune system in check!

CARROT - We’ve
heard over time that
carrot, which is rich
in Vitamin A is good
for the skin, well, that
is a limitation. You
should know that It is
also good for your
hair. You can dice it
into your meal or
blend it to take as
smoothie.
Egg: Your hair is largely made up of
protein and for that reason, it is important
you have enough protein in your meal. Try
including eggs in your food because eggs are
one of the richest natural sources of protein.
BEAUTY
Spinach & Dark
Leafy Green: Many
unintentionally eat colourless
meal, with zero green. Aside
from how that doesn’t help your
immune system, it also doesn’t
help you look pretty as your hair
is losing vital nutrients like the
iron it needs to survive. Most of
the iron is largely derived from
the green you avoid. Lack of iron
in your body may cause hair loss
and we know we don’t want to
look bald.
Avocado: This provides
Vitamin E which improves the
blood circulation and helps
your follicles work efficiently.
You can easily add avocado
to your breakfast or make
a delicious green
smoothie with it.
5
Nuts: These Omega 3 fatty acid givers
should be your go-to for silky hair and
hair-loss treatment. They are high in
protein and zinc, and are also great for
promoting strong and slinky hair. Some of
the nuts you can add to your diet include;
walnuts, cashew nut, almond to mention
but a few.
