We value hair highly for appearance. For the body, hair is less important. The root is hair’s only living part. Hair above the root reflects the body’s history, its former nourishment patterns. The body, concerned with its present state of health, its future survival, uses to feed its essential organs and tissues first, feeding the hair only if it has a surplus of nutrients. If the body has an abundance of nourishment, it keeps your hair healthy. But when the body senses a deficiency, it abandons the hair, being inessential for life.
Here’s a myth about the nourishment of hair… Since hair is 97 percent protein, the myth goes, you need a protein-rich diet. Nonsense! Your body can converts carbohydrates into protein. Your body in fact prefers to nourish hair this way. If your diet predominately consists of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, you will have firm, thick hair.
Dandruff is an example of how your body eliminates excess fat and protein. These white, dry flakes are nothing but oil and protein clumped together, caused by consuming saturated fats and proteins in animal foods, especially fried foods. My experience: Stop eating meat, no more dandruff.
Research shows sodium alginate, a compound found in most seaweed, binds with heavy metals and chemical poisons, flushing them from the body. Sea vegetables help the body to discharge radioactive wastes. They nourish the endocrine system, especially the thyroid and adrenal glands. Iodine in seaweed keeps the thyroid functioning normally, and is high in natural sodium.
Sea vegetables, providing plenty of proteins, complex carbohydrates, carotenes, and chlorophyll, stimulate and strengthen the skin, hair, and nails. Brittle hair, caused by a shortage of minerals, too much salt or animal food, or excessive use of drugs, can be restored by eating sea vegetables.
Sea vegetables offer tremendous benefits not only for health but for beauty. Kelp, wakame, arame, dulse, and nori are all high-protein vegetables, low in fat. Rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, iodine, and other trace minerals, sea vegetables like alaria and kelp are better calcium sources than milk. Sea vegetables, like land vegetables, are high in potassium.
Thinning hair is a common sign of aging, even more than graying hair. Hair follicles cannot produce hair in toxic environments. The results: slow and meager hair growth, with strands brittle, and split.
People who had been on the raw food lifestyle for a year reported an amazing result: abundant hair growth—as much as an inch a month. In some cases, gray hair was replaced with strands of original color.
When you first begin your 100 per cent raw food diet, you might lose some hair. This is part of the cleansing process. But since a raw food diet will give excessive nourishment, your hair will begin to thrive and be much stronger in the long run. Hair loss during transition is only temporary. Don’t panic. Look to your temples for new hair growth—a good sign!
Gray hair is often a companion of aging, because the cells in the bulb that are supposed to produce melanin are dead. They die for the same reasons other cells do. Poor assimilation, hormonal imbalances, and toxic waste buildup in the system are contributing factors. Graying hair is caused by the consumption of saturated fat and protein, as well as salt. Another cause of graying hair is the excessive intake of simple sugars, which leach minerals from the blood, weakening the nutrients that reach the hair. Starving and suffocating hair turns gray.
Many people on raw food diets claim that their hair returned to its natural color. I am convinced it’s possible to prevent hair from turning gray or reverse the process if already begun. However, heredity is a big factor here.
Drink wheatgrass, and wash your hair in it. Nutrients penetrate into follicles and stimulate growth of new pigment-producing cells. Getting results takes persistence, but consider the alternative—artificial coloring is carcinogenic.
