Vitamins for hair regrowth
Hair loss is a condition that is notoriously difficult to treat. Millions of dollars are spent each year on medical treatments and over-the-counter products intended to regrow hair. Many of these treatments are successful, but unfortunately many others are not. However, one effective solution to regrow hair that is sometimes overlooked is the use of vitamin supplements.
Vitamins such as vitamins A, E and B as well as biotin and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) actually contribute greatly to hair growth. Those struggling with hair loss should include more of them in their diets. Supplements can be effective, but it is always better to eat more foods that are rich in these vitamins.
Vitamin A
The fat-soluble vitamin A was the first essential vitamin to be named, and it has proven to be very effective in treating dry hair and skin. It is specifically used to combat hair loss because of its ability to keep the skin on the scalp healthy and help the scalp produce sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that allows the hair to grow freely, although too much sebum can lead to oily hair.

The Many Health Benefits of Soy Protein
Not just for hippies and vegetarians:
Many of us avoid vegetarian products and dishes – perhaps we feel there is something a little odd about a meal containing no meat! Meat free choices are available in almost all restaurants and being a vegetarian, or even a vegan, has probably never been easier. However, the rest of us meat eaters can also benefit from increasing the amount of soy protein in our regular diet – give the edamame a try next time you go for sushi, or try the tofu at your local salad bar and you may be pleasantly surprised.
A healthy choice:
Soy products make great alternatives or substitutes for meat. The protein found in soy is extremely healthy due to its low fat content and that it is a complete protein – that is to say, soy protein contains all of the nine amino acids essential for healthy body functions including maintain healthy DNA and metabolism. Not only is soy a great source of healthy, high quality protein, it is also an excellent source of fibre – something sadly lacking in many western diets. Soy protein is cholesterol free and low in saturated fat – a known risk factor for heart disease. Half a cup of cooked soybeans provides one third of the daily protein requirement and contains only 149 calories (a similar serving of cooked beef has around 230 calories)These health benefits mean that soy protein is an excellent alternative to meat, poultry, eggs and even fish and, can be freely used in most recipes as a substitute.
