Nourish from Within, Radiate from Outside: Hair-Transforming Power of Almond & Flaxseed
Are you tired of finding clumps of hair on your hairbrush or noticing thinning patches on your scalp? Hair loss can be distressing, but before you dive into chemical-laden solutions, why not consider the power of nature?
In this article, we will explore the remarkable benefits of two superfoods for hair loss: Almonds and Flaxseeds. These tiny powerhouses are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients that can promote healthy hair growth. So, let’s dive in and discover the wonders of almonds and flaxseed for combating hair loss.
Before diving straight into the benefits, let me share the studies done on the topic, since what I am about to share is after studies and research done on the subject.
- A study conducted by the University of California, Davis found that biotin supplementation significantly improved hair thickness and reduced hair loss in participants. Incorporating a handful of almonds into your daily diet or using almond oil for scalp massages can provide these beneficial nutrients directly to your hair follicles.
- A clinical trial conducted by the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology revealed that participants who were supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids experienced a significant increase in hair density and diameter and reduced hair loss. Incorporating ground flaxseeds into your meals, adding them to smoothies, or consuming flaxseed oil can provide the necessary omega-3 fatty acids to support hair growth.
Understanding Hair Loss:
Before we delve into the specific benefits of almonds and flaxseeds, let’s first understand what causes hair loss. Hair loss can be attributed to a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetics, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and more. While it’s important to address the root cause of your hair loss, incorporating almonds and flaxseed into your diet can provide valuable support for hair growth.
Almonds: Nutrient-Rich Hair Saviors:
Almonds are not only a tasty snack but also a nutritional powerhouse. They are rich in biotin, vitamin E, iron, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids – all of which contribute to healthy hair growth. Biotin, in particular, is known for its role in strengthening hair and preventing breakage. Additionally, vitamin E promotes blood circulation to the scalp, ensuring that hair follicles receive adequate nourishment. I have shared the nutrients of Almonds in great detail on my website: ABOUT SHEER MADNESS.

Flaxseeds: Omega-3 Powerhouses:
Flaxseeds, tiny seeds with a mighty nutritional profile, are another excellent remedy for hair loss. They are abundant in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, vitamin E, and essential minerals. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for maintaining a healthy scalp and promoting hair growth. They help reduce inflammation and nourish hair follicles, leading to more robust and more resilient hair.

Now, here are Few Facts before I finish:
These are the same lines from my book “Great Health Comes from Exercise & Nutrition”
a) Everyone is an individual, so what suits me, may or may not suit the next person.
b) If a person has a medical condition, a doctor’s advice and prescribed medication will only help.
c) While buying any protein powder from the market read the labels carefully, and Watch out for various codes, and words like Anti-caking agent, and INS 551( Also known as Silicon dioxide), All these are Laboratory made chemicals, and although approved by regulatory bodies think twice, will you consume a spoon of Silicon dioxide? And Silicon dioxide is just one product, there are numerous others like BHA ( Butylated hydroxyanisole ), BHT ( Butylated hydroxytoluene ) and the list of lab-made chemicals goes on and on with various codes, that we generally ignore.
Hence read the labels especially the ingredients list of the product before buying.

d) Exercise is the key to fitness, we should always keep in mind that exercise and nutrition are two sides of the same coin and always go hand in hand. So only nutrition will not help you attain any goals till it is not supplemented with Exercise.
e) Excess of anything is wrong, it can be the best nutrient-filled superfood, but one should consume only recommended quantities.
f) Regarding health, fitness, and nutrition, remember that Rome was not built in a day. Your discipline and consistency is the key.
g) It’s not only Exercise and protein that builds muscles, there are numerous other factors like a healthy gut, numerous macro and micronutrients, your body type and DNA, the amount of rest the body gets, the lifestyle an individual lives, and on and on it goes. Out of all these, exercise and nutrition are within our control, and one should focus on these two primary aspects.
