We must take proper care of our hair. Healthy hair looks beautiful and makes us feel good. It
is important to keep our hair clean by washing it regularly with soap or shampoo. This
removes the dirt and dust and prevents scalp infections. To have healthy hair, we must eat a
balanced diet which provides nourishment to our skin. We should eat lots of green leafy
vegetables, fresh fruits and cereals. Consumption of amla juice, ash gourd juice, pumpkin
and coconut water enhances hair growth. Vitamin B12 helps to prevent hair loss and can be
found in fish, eggs, chicken and milk. We should avoid the intake of maida (fine flour) and
deep-fried dishes, sweets made of white sugar, soft drinks, tea and coffee. If we follow a
healthy regime of yoga and breathing exercises, we can enjoy healthy hair for a long time as
it slows down the process of greying and ageing.
