To maintain healthy hair, it’s important to eat protein with every meal, says Lambert. It’s a key component of keratin, external, which helps form every strand.
“Since hair is the fastest-growing tissue in the body, adequate protein intake is crucial for its growth and repair.
“A protein deficiency can result in dry, brittle, easily shed hair, as well as anaemia.”
She suggests eating protein-rich foods such as eggs, dairy, pulses, whole grains, tofu, fish, meat and nuts.
