A well-watered scalp is essential for healthy hair. Vitamin E promotes blood circulation in this area. In the event of a deficiency, the hair can fall out more easily and become brittle.
But why do we lack it?
Too poor diet
If your meals are low in green vegetables, seeds, or nuts, you may be deficient in vitamin E.
Indigestion or certain diseases
Since vitamin E is fat-soluble, it needs fat to be absorbed properly. Diseases such as celiac disease or certain liver diseases can interfere with this absorption.
After bariatric surgery
People who have had gastric surgery should be careful: the intake of many nutrients, including vitamin E, may be reduced.
Simple actions to make sure you don’t miss anything
Good news: With the right diet, you can easily meet your vitamin E needs! Here are the foods you should prioritize:
Wheat germ oil, the richest
Sunflower seeds and almonds , ideal as a snack
Avocado , delicious and nutritious
Spinach and broccoli , to be prepared in a thousand ways
Atlantic salmon , good for your health and your palate
And if, despite everything, you still feel signs of a deficiency, talk to your doctor. Dietary supplementation can be considered, but always under medical advice.
