Eating eggs may cease you changing into a slaphead as boffins declare they assist thinning barnets
Men who live in fear of going bald may just have to run to the supermarket to stock up as a new study has suggested how eating eggs could help keep you luscious locks
Scoffing eggs could stop you becoming a slaphead, according to eggheads.
People worried about their thinning barnets are being advised to add more of the vitamin-rich food to their diets each week.
Dr. Emma Patel, a renowned nutritionist and hair health expert, said eggs are a powerhouse food for hair health as they are packed with biotin, the protein that makes up hair.
Research found people who ate eggs three times a week had stronger, less brittle hair and experienced fewer hair shedding episodes over a period of two months.
Over 3,000 individuals’ dietary habits were analysed for Dr Patel’s research with Cardplayer Lifestyle.
Other powerful allies in the battle to keep your barnet were found to be spinach, salmon, nuts and seeds and sweet potatoes.
Those who ate spinach regularly saw a reduction in hair thinning, with those who ate it at least three times a week seeing thicker hair and better overall scalp health after just six weeks.
And people who ate salmon twice a week experienced a 20% decrease in hair thinning and breakage, with the omega-3 fatty acids thought to help boost scalp circulation and encourage hair growth.
Almonds, sunflower seeds, and walnuts are full of vitamin E, a key antioxidant.
Eating them daily was linked to an improvement in hair strength and thickness, with some even claiming they noticed increased growth within a few weeks.
People who ate sweet potatoes, which are rich in a pigment the body converts into vitamin A, reported healthier, shinier hair with less breakage and thinning over a two-month period when they ate them twice a week.
Vitamin A is essential for the production of sebum, the natural oil that moisturizes the scalp and keeps hair follicles healthy.
Dr Patel said: “Eating these foods can definitely help nourish your hair from the inside out, but consistency is key.”
A spokesperson from Cardplayer Lifestyle said: “By working with experts like Dr. Patel, we’re able to share insights backed by real-world data, which can empower people to take control of their hair health. We’re proud to help our community make better choices for their overall well-being.”
