As an added bonus, at the end of each food is a link to a Del Monte recipe that you can easily prepare for yourself and the family!

Fish. Rich in vitamin D and protein, key components for strong hair. Fish also have omega-3 fatty acids that are essential in growing hair. Since our body cannot create fatty acids, stocking up on salmon, sardines, herring, trout, and mackerel can help you grow your hair out to a beautiful length. Del Monte recipe: Fish Tokwa Menudo

Walnuts. Walnuts are the only kind of nuts that are rich in Omega-3 Fatty acids, biotin, and vitamin E, all of which are essential in protecting hair cells from damage. Copper, which helps keep our hair’s natural color, is also present in walnuts: Del Monte recipe: Fruit Toffee Pie

Spinach. Spinach is fully-loaded with iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C, which help keep hair follicles healty and helps keep scalp oils circulating. Other similarly nutrient-rich dark, leafy vegetables such as broccoli, kale, water spinach, and swiss chard, are also rich in scalp-nourishing nutrients.

Tomatoes. The ripe fruits of the tomato vine are rich in vitamin C, which also helps keep your immune system up. Del Monte recipe:  Stuffed tomatoes

By keeping a closer eye on your diet, you can help prevent hair loss or keep your hair healthy and shiny!
