Lack of proper nutrition is sometimes isresponsible for hair loss. So take proper nutrition. Eat green vegetables andfresh fruits to prevent hair loss. Yes, it is very essential to include some iron foods in your diet tocounter its deficiency. The good news is thatmostly the iron-rich food items are low on fat so you will not have a toughtime including them in your diet. The foods that you can include in your diet which are high iniron are - Tofu, cereals, molasses which can be added to a glass of milk orbreakfast cereal, grains like oatmeal, whole wheat bread, beans, peas and othervegetables. Nuts like cashew and almonds can supply 10% of the body's ironneeds. In addition to this a smart way of boosting iron intake would be toinclude fruits containing vitamin C. Vitamin C plays a vital role in helpingthe body absorb iron so make sure that you eat a lot of citrus fruits too! Potatois one vegetable that has both iron and vitamin C but weight conscious peopleusually shun potatoes, so make sure that you have a decent serving of a potatoside dish which will not affect you so much. Hope that my advise would beof some help to you. Enjoy and stay fit!
