BEST FRUITS FOR HEALTHY HAIR
Are you looking for healthy fruits to help improve the condition of your hair? Let’s find out what the best fruits are for promoting healthy hair!
I’m sure that some people might say that fruit is only meant as a meal and not something good for their health, but I really believe they’ve got it all wrong. There’s no doubt in my mind that high-fiber foods like fruits and vegetables can make a huge difference on one’s overall health. A recent study published by BBC revealed that University of Colorado researchers proved the importance of consuming significant amounts of dietary fiber in order to maintain optimal health. They explained that fiber is important because it helps to lower insulin levels, thus decreasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Also, increasing fiber intake can also help lower cholesterol levels and promote weight loss.
Usually, most people are unaware of the importance of eating fruits everyday. But, even if you are one of those who are very conscious with your diet and you eat fruits regularly, how much exactly are you getting every day? What kind of fruits do you eat? Are they helping promote healthy hair growth? Let’s find out!
