Nowadays, hair fall has become a common problem for people of all ages. Changing lifestyle, stress, lack of nutrients and hormonal changes are the main reasons for this. People often spend money on expensive shampoos and treatments, but the real improvement comes from giving the body the right nutrition from within. According to Khushi Chhabra, MSc Clinical Nutritionist, in most of the cases, hair fall is caused by nutritional deficiency or some health problem. She says that our hair is made of a protein called keratin. Therefore, the more protein you consume, the stronger, thicker and healthier your hair will be. She has created a healthy and delicious smoothie to reduce hair fall. Khushi says that if you start consuming this smoothie daily, it can significantly reduce hair fall and promote new hair growth. Try this smoothie with breakfast for 15 days.
What do you need to make a smoothie?
To make this smoothie, take 1 tsp almond butter, 2 pinches of fenugreek seeds, 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, 1 tbsp black sesame seeds and 1 tsp protein powder.
How to make this smoothie
Put all the seeds in a blender, add water and mix well. When the mixture is smooth and creamy, add 1 teaspoon protein powder and 1 teaspoon almond butter, then add the protein powder.
According to Khushi Chhabra, almond butter contains healthy fats and vitamin E, which nourish the hair from within and reduce dryness and breakage.
Fenugreek seeds are rich in iron. These increase the level of ferritin in the body, which reduces hair fall. They also increase blood flow to the hair roots and promote new hair growth.
Pumpkin seeds balance hormones, which is a major cause of hair fall. They contain zinc, biotin and antioxidants, which strengthen hair and increase hair density.
Black sesame seeds are rich in calcium, which strengthens the hair roots. They also improve the supply of nutrients by increasing blood circulation in the scalp.
So, if you are worried about hair fall, then definitely try this smoothie.
