Millet, pumpkin and DOP red aubergine: the allies you don't expect for healthier and stronger hair and nails

Is it true that hair tends to fall out more in autumn? In reality, hair "falls out" throughout the year, but it is also true that during seasonal changes this phenomenon can intensify and we can have the sensation that our hair is thinning out more quickly.

In fact , during the seasonal changes our body must adapt to new rhythms , to a different alternation of dark and light and to a series of small and large stresses that can favor the phenomenon of hair loss and also weakening and flaking. of the nails.

Fortunately, nature can once again come to our aid with natural supplements and adaptogenic substances that contain the effects of stress and seasonal changes.

Millet, pumpkin and red aubergine from Rotonda are three unexpected allies for thicker hair and healthier, stronger nails.

Millet is a cereal of ancient origin, from the grass family, it is gluten-free and this makes it particularly useful for those suffering from celiac disease. It contains carbohydrates, a good amount of proteins and vitamins of groups A, B, E, K , but it is the salicylic acid in which it is rich that is a real panacea for nails and hair. Strengthens their structure and makes hair shiny and healthy, contributes to the growth of stronger nails. It also stimulates the production of collagen and promotes the beauty and health of the skin.

Recent studies have proven the effectiveness of millet supplements in the anagen (growth) phase of hair, particularly in menopausal women.

Millet also contains miliacin, a substance that stimulates the metabolism of keratonocytes, the most widespread cell type in the epidermis, promoting its regeneration.

Of course, it is best to never forget it, we are talking about an ally to combat hair loss and promote a better response to stress, not a substance capable of stopping baldness or phenomena such as alopecia.

Pumpkin and red aubergine from Rotonda: healthy, shiny nails and hair from nature

Pumpkin and in particular its seeds are also considered a natural remedy to combat hair loss. The seeds of this plant contain iron, carotenoids, B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, phytosterols and omega -3. It seems that these substances help limit the transformation of testosterone into DHT dihydrotestosterone, a substance that promotes thinning hair and hair loss because it atrophies the hair bulb.

Pumpkin seeds can be taken as a supplement or added to food. The effect of supplements is more concentrated so a smaller quantity of substance favors a more significant effect.

The antioxidants present in Rotonda PDO red aubergines are also effective in combating hair loss and strengthening the growth of nails, slowing down cellular aging and all its effects.

This particular aubergine stands out from the one we are used to due to its color and shape, it can in fact be mistaken for a tomato. As we have seen, it has antioxidant properties and hypocholesterolizing properties and is rich in vitamins and potassium.

It is native to Africa and sub-tropical Asia and has found a climate particularly suitable for its cultivation in the Rotonda area.

Natural remedies can help improve the health of hair and nails , prevent hair loss and can help our body to better overcome particularly stressful periods. The use of supplements is therefore useful, but one should not expect miraculous effects.

Hair loss, for example, has multiple causes, it is possible to intervene on some by slowing down or preventing the phenomenon, but it is necessary to be aware that the objective of integration is to promote the health of the organism which is achieved and maintained with healthy lifestyles.
