Smoothies And Juices To Fight Against Hair Loss

Honey has vasodilating properties, and is rich in vitamins and minerals that strengthen, nourish and make hair softer. Sweeten your juices and smoothies with honey to reap all its benefits.

In this article, we’re going to walk you through the most natural way to help your body prevent and treat hair loss, by drinking juices and smoothies daily that contain the nutrients needed for hair health, and also benefiting of their delicious tastes.

During periods of changing seasons, hair tends to suffer more loss than usual, and this is the time to increase your intake of supplements to combat it.

Preliminary remark

To fight against hair loss, it is also important to avoid salt and dairy products. This is why juices and smoothies do not contain these ingredients. Instead, you can replace them with a little seawater for salt and vegetable drinks, instead of dairy products.

Smoothies and juices against hair loss

1. Oatmeal, nettle and cinnamon smoothie

This original smoothie, although it may surprise you, tastes very good.

The most important ingredient is fresh nettle, which we have to pick directly using gloves, in an unpolluted area, away from the roads. Nettle, rich in vitamins (like A, C, D and K) and minerals (like potassium, phosphorus and iron) is already part of many shampoos.

On the other hand, oats are a very nutritious cereal that helps us to heal our hair and skin from the inside.

You have to mix and mix the following ingredients:

• 1 liter of hot water
• 4 tablespoons of oatmeal
• A handful of fresh green nettle leaves
• 1 tablespoon of Ceylon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons of cane sugar

If you wish, you can also filter this smoothie so that it has a texture with less lumps. But always serve it cold.

2. Red grape and honey juice

It is an ancient remedy that is easy to prepare and delicious. You can extract the grape juice with a blender or food processor. In the first case, it will have to be filtered before drinking it. You will need to use organic red grapes, with their seeds, since this is the part of the fruit that contains the most beneficial properties.

Sweeten the drink with quality honey. Tradition recommends drinking this juice on an empty stomach for 30 days. 

Red grapes contain tannins, flavonoids, protein, vitamin A, group B vitamins, and vitamins C, K, D, and E. It also contains potassium, phosphorus, and iron, among other minerals. 

3. Green brewer’s yeast smoothie

Green smoothies, which we have already discussed in other articles, are great for your health. And of course, like juices, they also help us treat hair loss. Because they provide us with many vitamins and minerals. For this health problem, we recommend the following combination:

• Spinach: they contain magnesium, folic acid, pantothenic acid and vitamin C. This is involved in the synthesis of collagen, a constituent of hair and also helps in the absorption of iron.
• Avocado : it is a very nutritious and complete food
• Spirulina: it helps us to compensate for the lack of B12, which tends to cause hair loss and the appearance of white hair.
• Brewer’s yeast : it is the natural nutrient that provides the most B vitamins, a considerable amount of amino acids and many minerals.

Sweeten the smoothie with honey, cane sugar or agave syrup.

4. Mediterranean juice against hair loss

This juice contains typical Mediterranean ingredients, all of which are very beneficial against hair loss.

• Ripe tomato
• Onion : rich in sulfur
• Fresh basil leaves: it has great antioxidant power
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Apple vinegar 
• A drizzle of sea water to replace the salt

It should be drunk very cold, as a starter before a meal.

5. Almond, fig and cocoa smoothie

This smoothie will appeal to the whole family and will above all provide us with large amounts of magnesium and zinc. It is very nutritious and energetic. That is why we recommend drinking it throughout the morning.

• A liter of water
• Two handfuls of raw almonds, previously soaked for at least two hours.
• A tablespoon of bitter cocoa powder
• 4 fresh or dried figs (in this case, also soak)

Mix the ingredients until the smoothie has a homogeneous texture. If the sweetness of the figs is not enough, you can sweeten the smoothie a little more.
