FOODS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

6/26/2019

When it comes to your hair, there are several factors affecting it that are difficult or impossible to control such as genetics or hormone levels. One thing you can control is the foods you eat and this can have an impact on the quality of your hair. Here are four different ways foods can help you have healthier hair:

• Silkiness: Iron and zinc are critical for keeping hair smooth. Lean meats, tofu, beans, oysters, and crabmeat are high in these minerals.

• Unbreakability: Orange, broccoli, red bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, and kiwi are high in vitamin C, which can protect hair from breakage.

• Strength: Protein from foods like Greek yogurt, eggs, and peanut butter serves as a main building block of great hair and can add elasticity and strength.

• Healthy scalp: Walnuts, flax seeds, and fatty fish such as salmon and trout are loaded with omega-3 fats. These can help prevent dry scalp and dandruff.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
