Why is autumn nutrition important for hair?

2 min reading time

Autumn weather, with its cold winds and dry air in heated spaces, can damage your hair and scalp.

That’s why it’s crucial to nourish your hair from the inside out.

Autumn seasonal foods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that strengthen hair follicles, prevent hair loss, and promote growth.

 

Key foods for healthy hair in the fall

 

For strong, shiny hair, be sure to include the following foods:

• Iron and zinc: Found in red meat, lentils, legumes, and seeds.

• Omega-3 fatty acids: Fish, walnuts, flaxseeds.

• Biotin: Found in eggs, walnuts, almonds, and whole grains.

• Vitamin C: Important for collagen formation and iron absorption. Found in citrus fruits, peppers, and broccoli.

• Vitamin A: Essential for hair follicle growth, found in pumpkin and carrots.

 

Don’t forget to stay hydrated. Drinking water and herbal teas (like nettle tea) are also important for healthy hair.

 

Menu for beautiful and strong hair

 

Day 1

 

• Breakfast:

Oatmeal with pumpkin seeds (a source of zinc) and walnuts (rich in omega-3 fatty acids). Add a tablespoon of honey and berries.

• Lunch:

Baked salmon with broccoli and sweet potatoes. Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein, while broccoli contains iron and vitamin C.

• Dinner:

Creamy pumpkin soup, which is rich in vitamin A.

 

Day 2

 

• Breakfast: Smoothie made with spinach, banana, avocado and Greek yogurt. This combination provides iron, folate and healthy fats.

• Lunch: Bean salad with red pepper and olive oil. Red pepper is rich in vitamin C, which helps with the absorption of iron from beans.

• Dinner: Chicken steak with stewed green beans and carrots.

 

Day 3

 

• Breakfast: Fried egg with whole grain bread and slices of zucchini or eggplant. Eggs are rich in biotin, protein and iron.

• Lunch: Beef goulash with root vegetables (carrots, kohlrabi), as red meat provides iron and zinc.

• Dinner: Quinoa, apple and walnut salad, enriched with goat cheese.
