Okie DNA fam let’s talk about healthy food… they have this stigma of not really tasting as good as ‘unhealthy’ food and I mean when you compare broccoli to chocolate cake they’re probably right. I’m going to give you some insight into a few of my go to foods, and I mean I find them just as delish as cake and they have a lot more health benefits…
How does eating healthy benefit your hair?
Eating a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients can significantly benefit your hair health. Proteins, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats found in nutritious foods support the growth and strength of your hair follicles. For example, proteins like collagen and keratin are vital for hair structure and growth. Minerals like zinc and iron support hair follicle function and prevent hair loss. By nourishing your body from the inside out, you can enhance the overall health and appearance of your hair.
Healthy snack ideas
My favourite go to snack of all time is tablespoon of natural crunchy peanut butter warmed up in the microwave (so it’s a bit runny) with a banana cut up, the carbs will give you a quick mood and energy spike, while the protein will keep the energy going for hours! I usually have this as a mid-morning snack as it helps me avoid extra snacking throughout the day (this snack is roughly 195 calories for those who count) I am also a massive fan of smoothies especially since I live a very on the go lifestyle they really suit. My go to is a salted caramel protein, with a handful of chopped up dates, a teaspoon of honey, 200ml of milk, half a banana and ice! I love the flavour of this it literally tastes like a salted caramel milkshake and it keeps me full until my next meal.
Smoothie Bowls
Ok let’s talk smoothie bowls… now these are my favourite breakfast go to for summer either a peanut butter protein bowl or an acai bowl both topped with seasonal fruit, now I don’t make these as I don’t have the right blender for it but if you’re fully equipped I highly recommend giving these websites a try for the recipes:
And there we have it DNA Fam. These are some healthy snack alternatives and meal options to allow you to balance out your diet and give you extra vitamins, minerals and proteins. Don’t underestimate the power of healthy food when dealing with hair growth and treatment.
