You know, orange is such a beautiful color. When I think of it, I am reminded by the sunlight, summer fashion and tasty ripe fruits that are so delicious all season 'round.
Yet there is something that the wondrous food items in this photo have in common. Let's see, what have we here?
1. Apricots
2. Carrots
3. Pumpkin
4. Mango
5. Yams
All five aid in the growth of your hair. And when eaten regularly (with a hearty regimen of quenching glasses of water) you've got yourself an expedient hair growth factory; only that it is coming from your own scalp.....and uugh not hair obtained from the scalp of someone else...bagged up, then sold to you.
So what's the deal? What exactly is the significance of the color orange? Aside from its symbolism and association with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. Yet this is still not answering the question of what the similarity is of these foods, and why the significance in color aids in triggering the hair growth process.
It's Because of Beta Carotene.
Beta-carotene is a red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables.
The name beta-carotene comes from the Greek beta and Latin carota (carrot). It is the yellow/orange pigment that gives vegetables and fruits their rich colors. So some guy by the name of H. Wachenroder crystallized beta-carotene from carrot roots in 1831, and came up with the name "carotene". Clever....eh? Anyway, The human body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A (retinol) - beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A. We need vitamin A for healthy hair, skin,mucus membranes, our immune system, and good eye health and vision. While Beta-carotene in itself is not an essential nutrient, vitamin A is.
Beta-carotene is an antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules; it protects the body from free radicals. Free radicals damage cells through oxidation. Eventually, the damage caused by free radicals can cause several chronic illnesses.
Beta carotene in foods is converted to vitamin A in the body, and vitamin A is necessary for all cell growth, including hair cells. A deficiency can lead to dry, dull, lifeless hair, and dry skin, which can flake off into dandruff.
Now don't go having too much of a good thing!
Excessive amounts of Vitamin A can also cause hair loss! Have a healthy balance by adding more beta carotene–rich foods to your meals rather than taking vitamin A supplements. If you should choose to take a multivitamin, check the label to make sure that your brand supplies no more than 50% DV of vitamin A in the form of retinol. Retinol is listed on supplement labels as palmitate or acetate. The other 50% or more should come in the form of beta carotene or mixed carotenoids, which are converted to vitamin A only as we need it.
Hear are some additional foods rich in Beta Carotene:
Asparagus
Broccoli
Chinese cabbage
Chives
Dandelion leaves
Grapefruit
Herbs & Spices - chilli powder, oregano, paprika, parsley
Kale
Onions
Peas
Peppers
Plums
Spinach
Squash
And so what's the deal with drinking water as it relates to hair growth?
Water helps the body process and flush out toxins, which makes it a quick and easy natural method that will make your hair grow a lot faster. Maintaining a regimen of at least 8 cups of water a day, will not only make your overall body feel great, your hair will get stronger. The stronger the hair, the faster it grows. Drinking water also keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. Hydrated hair is less likely to get parched and break off.
Give yourself a healthy food challenge and watch the magic!
