Stop. If you’re like me, you’re losing it at an alarming rate. I don’t know if mid-life has caught up with me or the hormones are on the attack but my hair is thinning and I’m none too happy about it! I have every intention of living until I’m 92 and I don’t plan to be a bald-headed old woman. feisty, yes. Bald, no.
But wait–there’s good news! I think I might have stumbled upon the secret weapon against hair loss. In response to an aging lower back, I’ve had to focus on “anti-inflammatory” living. I eat anti-inflammatory foods, I exercise, stretch daily to keep my muscles loose and limber, take warm baths to keep the blood flowing…and in my quest, I discovered the omega-3. Now some of you are way ahead of me, consuming these babies by the wagon-load. They’re great for overall health and well-being, but hair growth?
Seriously, I wish someone would have mentioned this sooner. It’s never good when you gaze into the mirror and can see your scalp. It’s disheartening. But alas, no more! Ever since I’ve been eating a daily dose of flax-seed and chia with my oatmeal, my hair is thick and full! Okay, that might be a stretch. Blame it on the excitement factor, but my hair is noticeably improving, from new clumps around my face to an overall “I can’t see my scalp anymore” fullness. It’s wonderful. Rejuvenating. This stuff is worth eating if for no other reason than hair growth. Not particularly tasty, but definitely worthwhile.
Thinning hair? Eat flax-seed. 2 TBSP a day is all you need, I split mine 1/2 flax and 1/2 chia. Add it to oatmeal, yogurt, fruit smoothies, whatever. It works. Besides, what have you got to lose? Other than more hair, that is. 🙁
