Many foods that help achieve shiny, bouncy and healthy hair and smooth, blemish-free skin, are mostly packed with good fats. Avocado is rich in biotin (which can contribute to normal hair function), Vitamin E and good fats. Sesame seeds and walnuts are both rich in zinc and healthy fats, and raspberries are also a great source of biotin. The added protein is essential for the hair, and also ensures a good boost of amino acids.
Even with a good and balanced diet, we lose nutrients when we cook food. Juicing and smoothies are a great way to pack in nutrients and allow your body to absorb them quickly.
