Genetics, stress, external agents such as extreme temperature changes, smoking or the use of certain medications can cause hair loss... So far, so good, but... have you ever wondered if maybe it's because you have a nutritional deficiency? We'll tell you all the details.

Following a balanced diet helps us to keep our hair nourished, healthy and shiny. The intake of vitamins, iron and zinc helps our hair to grow strong. After all, hair is a living tissue of the human body that is made up of proteins.

Here is the list of 10 nutrient-packed foods that must be in your diet if you want to stop hair loss:

Foods that prevent hair loss

. Eggs: yes, yes, eggs are rich in protein, sulphur, selenium, iron, zinc and iodine, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B12 and biotin. The combination of these compounds will help stimulate hair growth.

. Red meat: although not very popular, it is a rich source of protein that contributes to the nourishment and oxygenation of hair.

. Oatmeal: it is one of the trendiest foods. Rich in B vitamins, proteins, copper and zinc, among others, it prevents hair from weakening. The iron, phosphorus and magnesium it contains stimulates hair growth.

. Carrots: we knew about their power to stimulate the creation of melanin but their high Vitamin A and beta-carotene content are super beneficial for hair health and sebum production.

. Salmon: increasingly present in our diets, this type of fish is characterised by its high proportion of Omega-3 fatty acids, essential for preventing hair loss by strengthening the hair shaft and the natural membrane of the scalp. It has also been found to be deeply nourishing.

. Spinach: it is delicious either raw in a salad or cooked in a paella pan with sultanas and pine nuts. They are made up of Vitamin A and C, which prevent the hair fibre stems from breaking. This vegetable also contains iron and beta-carotene, elements that keep the follicles healthy and circulate the scalp's natural oils.

. Sunflower oil: its high proportion of Vitamin E nourishes damaged hair and prevents breakage. It improves the body's ability to synthesise the hair's natural keratin, which prevents breakage.

. Hazelnuts: Nuts are a powerful source of minerals. They provide magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron and trace elements such as zinc and selenium, with antioxidant properties. In the case of hazelnuts, they are great allies in stimulating hair growth. They help to metabolise fats or, in other words, to make the hair look cleaner, healthier and full of light.

. Lentils: pulses should be an essential part of your diet. Rich in iron, they prevent hair loss and promote hair growth. They also help to prevent certain illnesses in the body, such as anaemia.
