Hair is not only a part of beauty, but it is also a mirror of our health. The condition of hair indicates the lack of nutrients in your body, wrong eating habits and lifestyle disorders.

The shine and strength of hair does not depend only on external care, but it is also a reflection of your diet. If your hair is weak, dry or falling excessively, then it can be a sign that there is a lack of essential nutrients in your food.

According to a Hindustan Times report, dermatologist and founder of Skinfinity Derma, Dr. Ipsita Johri says that the structure of hair is mainly made up of a protein called keratin. Therefore, a balanced and nutritious diet is very important for hair. Lack of nutrition directly affects the health of hair, due to which hair starts falling, breaking and becoming weak.

Let us know about those 6 signs which indicate the disturbance in your diet on the health of hair.

1. Protein deficiency

Protein is very important for hair, as it helps in the formation of keratin. Protein deficiency makes hair weak and brittle. For this, include eggs, fish, milk, pulses, nuts and seeds in your diet.

2. Iron deficiency

Iron works to deliver oxygen to the hair follicles. Its deficiency can cause hair loss (telogen effluvium). Eat green leafy vegetables, red meat and fruits rich in vitamin C to have better absorption of iron.

3. Zinc deficiency

Zinc helps in the health of hair follicles and balances the sebum of the scalp. To overcome zinc deficiency, include pumpkin seeds and nuts in your diet.

4. Biotin deficiency

Biotin (vitamin B7) plays an important role in the formation of keratin. Its deficiency can cause thinning and weakening of hair. Eggs, almonds, sweet potatoes and bananas are good sources of biotin.

5. Vitamin D deficiency

Vitamin D stimulates the growth of hair follicles. For this, sunbathe and consume fatty fish, egg yolks and fortified dairy products.

6. Vitamin C deficiency

Vitamin C helps in the formation of collagen and absorption of iron. Its deficiency can weaken the hair. Include citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers and guava in your diet.
