Now don’t get us wrong…balding does not apply to this. A receding hairline all comes down to genes and there is not enough broccoli in the world to change that. Sorry! However, your beard can disappear right along with an unhealthy lifestyle.

Other key nutrients for a healthy beard:
- Cinnamon- you can infuse your water with cinnamon sticks or have a cinnamon roll. Cinnamon improves circulation to follicles ensuring that hair grows faster.
- Raisins- these dried grapes boost testosterone which speeds up hair growth.
- Pumpkin Seeds- they are high in zinc which builds cells that stops hair loss.
- Mangoes- these fruits have a moisturizing effect on hair.
- Sunflower Seeds- they make the hair thicker and promote growth of bodily tissues, including those that comprise hair follicles.
Portions and the preparation of meals may also vary according to what you want to achieve in terms of your weight. We highly recommend getting help from people who do this at a professional level.
