But if you\u2019re looking to achieve otherworldly or rather shampoo-ad-worthy tresses then it\u2019s about time you centred <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/diets-stop-believing-just-about-everything\/\">your diet on essential nutrients<\/a> and we\u2019re not just talking about proteins.<\/p>  <p><strong>Zinc<\/strong><\/p> <p>Zinc, is an antioxidant that <strong>prevents breakages and supports hair growth<\/strong> and to attain it, look for powerhouses such as clams and oysters. Beyond zinc though, these shellfishes are essential in regulating the production of androgens. <strong>Androgens<\/strong> are a vital hormone present in both males and females and low levels can be associated with hair loss \u2013 <strong>seafood<\/strong> fans, you know what to do.<\/p> <p><strong>Brazil nuts<\/strong> are similarly loaded with zinc and a perfect alternative for vegetarians. Either way, it\u2019s also time to stock up on <strong>walnuts, cashews, and almonds<\/strong> we say!<\/p>  <p><strong>Omega-3 Fatty Acids<\/strong><\/p> <p>For a healthy glow and well-nourished scalp, Omega-3 fatty acids are the kind of fats you\u2019ll want in your diet. Found in <strong>salmon, mackerel, tuna, flaxseeds<\/strong> and <strong>walnuts<\/strong>, omega-3 aids in oil production and keeps a dry and scaly scalp at bay. It is important to establish a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids as the body can\u2019t produce it on its own.<\/p> <p>Additionally, they add elasticity to your hair, thereby preventing unnecessary breakage in the shower.<\/p>  <p><strong>Vitamin C &amp; A<\/strong><\/p> <p>Fruits and dark green vegetables are the biggest source of vitamins for a healthy scalp. <strong>Fruits<\/strong> rich in Vitamin C and A aids in sebum and collagen production in the hair follicles thus playing the role of a natural conditioner and protecting the hair shaft. Score much? So pile on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/light-sunny-summer-recipes-spinach-croque-madame\/\">spinach<\/a>, <strong>broccoli, oranges, grapefruits, papayas<\/strong> and even <strong>brussels sprouts<\/strong> for a vitamin-boosting meal that could only result in lustrous tresses.<\/p>  <p><strong>Iron<\/strong><\/p> <p>Iron is primarily responsible for assisting red bloods cells to carry oxygen throughout the body, thereby ensuring better circulation at the scalp as well. Leafy vegetables like <strong>spinach<\/strong> and <strong>Swiss chard<\/strong> are high in iron as is red meat or whole grains in the form of wheat bread.<\/p>  <p><em>Tarandip
