Unfortunately, trace minerals are rare in our diets
because our food is processed and our soil depleted by
chemical treatments. Silica provides strength to your
hair, and although it will not necessarily stop your
hair from falling out from the follicle, it will stop
hair breakage.
Silica works by stimulating your cell metabolism and
formation, which slows the aging process. Foods that are
rich in silica are rice, oats, lettuce, parsnips,
asparagus, onion, strawberry, cabbage, cucumber, leek,
sunflower seeds, celery, rhubarb, cauliflower, and swiss
chard. Try to buy these vegetables from organic sources.
Note that many of these foods, particularly rice, are a
large part of Asian diets and Asians tend to have the
strongest and healthiest hair.
