Growing healthy hair with probiotics

Using Probiotics to maintain beautiful hair

You may be thinking " Wait a minute, I knew that probiotics were great for my gut but my hair?!?!?!" Your gut is home to a myriad of diverse and complex microbiome. Without healthy gut microbiome, nutrient assimilation, elimination pathways and all other systems of the body are all compromised. You may be consuming that wonderful hair, skin and nails supplement you bought recently but if your hair follicles don't receive enough blood; your hair won't be nourished by those vitamins or minerals! On the other hand, if you suffer from digestive disorders you may not be able to assimilate and use the minerals or vitamins. This is why the health of the gut is essential for hair health and overall health!

So, how do you achieve those wonderful healthy locks?

Firstly, rule out any underlying health issues that could be causing a disruption with your hair growth cycle. Speaking to your nutritionist will help to clarify any health problems, empower you with advice and you can receive tests that indicate any hormonal or microbiome imbalances.

Secondly, look out for probiotics that include the bacterium L.Reuteri as studies have shown that this bacterium improves hair quality as well as possessing anti-inflammatory properties. Bacillus subtilus is another bacterium which has been found to aid nutrient absorption and maintain the equilibrium of the immune system; all key when creating a foundation for healthy hair.

Now that you know which bacteria strains to be aware of when buying probiotics for the health of your hair; the next step is to maintain habits that uphold a healthy gut! This includes eating a balanced, nutrient dense and pre-biotic rich diet.

In a world, where we are constantly bombarded by too much mental stimulation; we are stretched from here to there, your heart is pounding, breath is shallow and your body feels so tense; this is exactly how we feel when we are in a stressful state. Stress is a major factor in the depletion of health in general and this includes your gut microbiome. Reducing stress in healthy ways can encourage a healthy environment for good bacteria to grow, multiply and thrive.
