Do you wish your hair was thicker, longer and healthier looking? What about your nails? Do you want them to be stronger and healthier looking?
It’s not just genetics that can affect how your hair and nails look; your diet can also play a big part.
The hair follicles and nail cuticles soak up nutrients.
So if you’re eating and drinking the right things, it’s even more likely to grow your hair and nails longer, stronger and healthier in general.
Smoothies can promote hair growth and slow the natural process of hair loss. That is, of course, if the smoothie you make includes certain ingredients.
The advantage of smoothies is that you can easily blend a ton of ingredients that provide the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed for healthy hair growth.
As a byproduct, you'll also get plenty of goodies for your skin, as both use a lot of common nutrients for correct functioning.
