Benefits Of Targeted Nutrition
Curd is a nutritional powerhouse that supports both digestion and hair health. Its high protein content could help to weak, brittle and falling hair. Moreover, curd could indirectly help in improving the availability of hair-supporting nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins as it improves digestion.
Flaxseed is a powerhouse that is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fibre – all of which help in reducing hair fall and promoting regrowth. It could also create a healthier environment for hair to grow by reducing inflammation around hair follicles that could have weaken and disrupt the growth cycle.
To get started, you consume flaxseed by adding them to smoothie, mixing them into breakfast or sprinkling them over curd.
