Why We Need Hair Vitamins
Article by D. Swift
Hair vitamins are not superfluous, as so many would tell you. Hair vitamins are an important part of your overall personal health plan, if you need them. And the fact is that many more people need them than we believe.
Healthy hair looks beautiful and in fact it is very sexually attractive. Likewise, unhealthy-appearing hair is sexually repulsive. Furthermore, it is simply just not aesthetically pleasing. But we very often underestimate the positive, or negative, effects of unhealthy-looking hair because hair is not essential to our survival. Hair is not crucial to your work (unless you are a model). Hair is not even a sexual organ. In fact, hair itself is dead. Yet, it is an incredible reflection of the life within us all the same.
Just one hair follicle’s shaft on the human scalp grows about.35 millimeters every day. A follicle’s growth cycle comprises the building up and the tearing down of the structure. After a rest period, the hair follicle gets built all over again from raw materials, and each and every follicle undergoes this exact same process, growing stronger and longer.
What hair vitamins do is supply our bodies with the right vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for creating beautiful hair that a great many of us aren’t getting through our diets. We live in a stressed-out world wherein the average person eats a huge amount of not-very-nutritious foods. Our diets are very much out of balance. Smoking, drinking too much alcohol, sedentary lifestyles, lack of sufficient sleep, and many synthetic medications also take their toll on our bodily health in addition to normal environmental stress factors, and in time this quite often reflected in the condition of our hair.
Our hair might become brittle, “frizzed out”, too oily or too thin, lacking in lustre, or prematurely gray or white. Especially (but not exclusively) in males, baldness may set in. Now different people may have different natural traits to their hair such as natural thinness or a family trait whereby they get gray hair far sooner than the average person, and these don’t necessarily reflect any health deficiency or come off as unattractive. But when there is a pattern of more than one of these traits, a person reflects a lack of health or loses some of their attractiveness. Our hair may reflect our lack of a good diet and lack of energy just as ravaged skin or poor posture might.
As we age, the total number of the capillary loops which supply our our follicles with blood becomes significantly lesser. As the hair’s blood supply gets reduced, our only course of action is to stimulate greater hair follicle blood flow or overcome the reduced blood supply through the taking of hair vitamins. We can only stimulate greater blood flow to the hair follicles to a certain extent even with an excellent exercise program, so ultimately the best way to keep our hair as “young” as we possibly can is to supply our bodies with hair vitamins.
Among the effective hair vitamins and nutrients are included the B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene, zinc, sulfur, magnesium, and flaxseed oil. Try getting more of these nutrients into your diet along with keeping physically vigorous and you will see an improvement in the health of your hair.
