I notice the better I eat, the more my hair and skin thrives, the better my workouts go, etc etc. While being on a healthy hair journey, a lot of people neglect their health because of work and other things. I'll be the first to say that all of the money some ladies spend on products or hair growth vitamins should be being spend on fruits, vegetables and women's multi. Not only for hair growth, but for your overall health.
The question to clarify the poll options: I consider a healthy diet something that has a good range between meats, fruits, vegetables and of course, the good fats. Now, if each of these categories is deep fried with a side of butta then....maybe not. But it's pretty easy to honestly know if you are eating healthy.
Some people do not realize that a healthy diet means you have to EAT.
Those who are dietting, IF, etc etc, that is not necessarily healthy either. I have experienced terrible thinning and shedding and horrible skin hives due to depression which has hit me a few times in my life to the point that I was eating once or less a day. This is not a diet. Eating is good for you.
If your response to this poll is anything corresponding to having a non-healthy diet, you should definitely join one of the healthy challenges (I'll search for links). Your overall health will affect every bit of your body, not just your hair. I see people whose hair looks noticably dull, which is not always a response to proper hair care but a response to internal health. If you feel like you are doing everything right with your hair, consider your diet. Incorporate foods like tomatoes, eggs, or fish. Try foods with antioxidants such as grapefruit which will help you get rid of some of the yucky stuff built up in your body.
Your hair and skin are visible ways to guage your health, IMO.
Those who answer that their good diet is reflected in their hair, please post some tips for those who have trouble with their diet. Simple things that can be incorporated daily.
