你只要这样稍微调整一下饮食结构就可以让你的头发长得又快又好
翻译:涂博士
我们很多人都希望自己有一头 健康 发亮的美发,最好是这些美发能够长得又快又好。虽然你可能已经在用维生素护发,做一些头发局部治疗(如治疗脱发之类),尽可能地避开那些会伤害你头发的东西,但是你的饮食里面其实也蕴藏着头发生长的秘密。幸运的是事实已经证明那些有益于头发的维生素和营养素也有益于你的皮肤和指甲,这绝对是一个双赢。
营养与饮食学院的发言人罗宾·福鲁坦(Robin Foroutan)是一位综合饮食营养学家,还是一位医学博士。罗宾·福鲁坦(Robin Foroutan)说:“由于头发,皮肤和指甲都是由相似的蛋白质组成的,大多数对皮肤有益的营养素也对头发(和指甲)有益。另外,养成良好的习惯不仅可以使皮肤焕发出光彩,还能让头发看上去更 健康 ,适当的排毒也是如此。”
她补充说:“每天还都要有抗氧化剂!自由基会破坏我们的细胞,包括我们的皮肤细胞,因此保护自己免受自由基的伤害(以及时间的伤害)的最好方法就是吃大量富含抗氧化剂的植物性食物,而且不要避开那些植物脂肪。”
下面我们来看看这些可以帮助你头发长得又快又好的食物。你可以把你的饮食结构稍微做一点调整,加上这些食物。
还有一点很重要需要记住,脱发有很多种原因,有可能是饮食,但也可能是压力和荷尔蒙的因素。根据美国皮肤科学院的说法,遗传性头发疾病或自身免疫性疾病,或者别的潜在疾病,都有可能会引起脱发。如果你现在正在脱发,但不知道为什么脱发,那么你最好去看医生。
福鲁坦(Robin Foroutan)说:“甲状腺水平如果未达到最佳水平,也会影响到头发的浓密和结构,这意味着即使你的甲状腺水平处于正常范围内,也不一定是在最佳状态。如果是这种情况的话,你可以找全科医生或专科医生来帮你解决这一问题,”

Making This One Small Change to Your Diet Can Make Your Hair Grow Crazy-Fast
Sarah Yang
WHO WHAT WEAR
Many of us want shiny, healthy hair that grows fast. While you might already take vitamins for your hair, use topical treatments, and try to avoid anything that can damage your hair at all costs, the secret to hair growth also lies in your diet. Luckily it turns out the vitamins and nutrients that are good for your hair are also good for your skin and nails—win-win.
"Most nutrients that are good for skin are also good for hair (and nails, for that matter), because hair, skin, and nails are made up of similar proteins. Plus, good habits show when it comes to glowing skin and healthy-looking hair. For example, getting enough sleep and proper hydration really reflect in the look of your skin, and so does proper detoxification," says integrative dietitian nutritionist Robin Foroutan, MD, RDN, HHC, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
"And antioxidants all day long!" she adds. "Free radicals damage our cells, and that includes our skin cells, so the best way to protect yourselves from the ravages of free radical damage (and the ravages of time) is to eat plenty of plant foods that are high in antioxidants and don't skimp on plant fats."
Take a look at some of the foods that can help you hair grow stronger and faster below—and make the simple and small change of adding them to your diet.
But it's important to keep in mind that there are a number of reasons for hair loss. Your diet could be the cause, but stress and hormones can also contribute. The American Academy of Dermatology also says hereditary hair disorders or autoimmune diseases may be the culprit, or an underlying condition. If you're experiencing hair loss and have no idea why, it's best to check with your doctor.
"Suboptimal thyroid levels can really affect hair thickness and hair structure—that means even if your thyroid levels are within 'normal' range, they may not be optimal—so working with an integrative or functional medicine professional can help sort that out," says Foroutan.
