雙語閱讀:調整飲食結構可以讓頭發長得又快又好
妳只要這樣稍微調整壹下飲食結構就可以讓妳的頭發長得又快又好
翻譯:塗博士
我們很多人都希望自己有壹頭 健康 發亮的美發,最好是這些美發能夠長得又快又好。雖然妳可能已經在用維生素護發,做壹些頭發局部治療(如治療脫發之類),盡可能地避開那些會傷害妳頭發的東西,但是妳的飲食裏面其實也蘊藏著頭發生長的秘密。幸運的是事實已經證明那些有益於頭發的維生素和營養素也有益於妳的皮膚和指甲,這絕對是壹個雙贏。
營養與飲食學院的發言人羅賓·福魯坦(Robin Foroutan)是壹位綜合飲食營養學家,還是壹位醫學博士。羅賓·福魯坦(Robin Foroutan)說:“由於頭發,皮膚和指甲都是由相似的蛋白質組成的,大多數對皮膚有益的營養素也對頭發(和指甲)有益。另外,養成良好的習慣不僅可以使皮膚煥發出光彩,還能讓頭發看上去更 健康 ,適當的排毒也是如此。”
她補充說:“每天還都要有抗氧化劑!自由基會破壞我們的細胞,包括我們的皮膚細胞,因此保護自己免受自由基的傷害(以及時間的傷害)的最好方法就是吃大量富含抗氧化劑的植物性食物,而且不要避開那些植物脂肪。”
下面我們來看看這些可以幫助妳頭發長得又快又好的食物。妳可以把妳的飲食結構稍微做壹點調整,加上這些食物。
還有壹點很重要需要記住,脫發有很多種原因,有可能是飲食,但也可能是壓力和荷爾蒙的因素。根據美國皮膚科學院的說法,遺傳性頭發疾病或自身免疫性疾病,或者別的潛在疾病,都有可能會引起脫發。如果妳現在正在脫發,但不知道為什麽脫發,那麽妳最好去看醫生。
福魯坦(Robin Foroutan)說:“甲狀腺水平如果未達到最佳水平,也會影響到頭發的濃密和結構,這意味著即使妳的甲狀腺水平處於正常範圍內,也不壹定是在最佳狀態。如果是這種情況的話,妳可以找全科醫生或專科醫生來幫妳解決這壹問題,”

Making This One Small Change to Your Diet Can Make Your Hair Grow Crazy-Fast
Sarah Yang
WHO WHAT WEAR
Many of us want shiny, healthy hair that grows fast. While you might already take vitamins for your hair, use topical treatments, and try to avoid anything that can damage your hair at all costs, the secret to hair growth also lies in your diet. Luckily it turns out the vitamins and nutrients that are good for your hair are also good for your skin and nails—win-win.
"Most nutrients that are good for skin are also good for hair (and nails, for that matter), because hair, skin, and nails are made up of similar proteins. Plus, good habits show when it comes to glowing skin and healthy-looking hair. For example, getting enough sleep and proper hydration really reflect in the look of your skin, and so does proper detoxification," says integrative dietitian nutritionist Robin Foroutan, MD, RDN, HHC, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
"And antioxidants all day long!" she adds. "Free radicals damage our cells, and that includes our skin cells, so the best way to protect yourselves from the ravages of free radical damage (and the ravages of time) is to eat plenty of plant foods that are high in antioxidants and don't skimp on plant fats."
Take a look at some of the foods that can help you hair grow stronger and faster below—and make the simple and small change of adding them to your diet.
But it's important to keep in mind that there are a number of reasons for hair loss. Your diet could be the cause, but stress and hormones can also contribute. The American Academy of Dermatology also says hereditary hair disorders or autoimmune diseases may be the culprit, or an underlying condition. If you're experiencing hair loss and have no idea why, it's best to check with your doctor.
"Suboptimal thyroid levels can really affect hair thickness and hair structure—that means even if your thyroid levels are within 'normal' range, they may not be optimal—so working with an integrative or functional medicine professional can help sort that out," says Foroutan.
