Introduction:
For many people, hair is a symbol of beauty and confidence. However, due to the interference of internal and external factors, many people are facing problems such as hair loss and thinning hair. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will introduce you to 5 favorite foods for hair, combining Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions to help you nourish black with black and refuse hair loss!
1. Black sesame seeds.
In TCM theory, black foods are considered to be particularly important for hair maintenance, and black sesame seeds are the best among them. Black sesame seeds are rich in vitamin E, B vitamins, calcium, iron and other nutrients, which can promote hair growth and health care. In ancient and modern recipes, commonly used black sesame food** includes boiling, soaking, grinding and other methods. For example, black sesame seeds can be ground into powder, mixed with honey, or fried and ground black sesame seeds and added to rice porridge to eat, all of which can effectively improve hair loss.
2. Walnuts. Walnuts are also one of the hair favorites. Walnuts are rich in nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and B vitamins, which can nourish the hair, maintain its shine and elasticity. In ancient recipes, commonly used walnut food** includes grinding walnuts into a puree, adding honey and mixing well, or stir-frying and grinding walnuts and stirring them with honey, taking them every day, all of which have a good effect on promoting hair growth. In addition, eating a moderate amount of walnuts every day can also improve scalp blood circulation, enhance the supply of nutrients to the hair, and effectively prevent hair loss.
3. Black beans. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black food helps nourish the kidneys, and the main bones of the kidneys, the marrow and the sea of essence, are closely related to hair growth. As a common black food, black beans are rich in protein, iron, vitamin E and other nutrients, which can increase hair softness and improve hair quality. In ancient recipes, commonly used black beans** include boiling water after cooking, or stewed soup with other medicinal herbs to nourish the kidneys and qi, and maintain health and hair. Black beans are best eaten with black sesame seeds, walnuts, etc., and can work synergistically to make hair thicker and healthier.
Fourth, black fungus.
Black fungus is a common black food, which is not only rich in collagen and a variety of minerals, but also has a good nourishing effect. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black fungus has the effect of nourishing yin and blood, nourishing the liver and brightening the purpose, and the liver is the main tendon, which is closely related to hair growth. In ancient recipes, commonly used black fungus food** includes stew, stir-fry and other ways. For example, washing black fungus and simmering it in water, or slicing and stir-frying black fungus, and then adding an appropriate amount of seasoning to eat, can improve the quality and growth rate of hair.
5. Black rice. Black rice is known for"Black pearls", is one of the hair favorites. Black rice is rich in protein, vitamin E, minerals and other nutrients, which can promote hair growth and nourishment. In ancient recipes, commonly used black rice dishes** include cooking black rice in porridge or cooking rice. For example, you can wash the black rice, add an appropriate amount of boiled porridge, and then add an appropriate amount of red dates and other ingredients, boil until cooked, and eat a bowl every day, which has a significant nourishing effect on the hair.
Summary: Through a reasonable diet, the intake of appropriate amounts of black foods such as black sesame, walnuts, black beans, black fungus, and black rice can effectively nourish hair and improve hair loss. Although the above foods are helpful for hair health care, food intake alone cannot completely solve hair problems, and it also needs to be combined with other health care methods, such as reasonable cleansing, scalp massage, and maintaining a good mood. Remember, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a good mindset is essential for healthy hair.
