Fish for Healthy Looking Hair + New Salmon Recipe

And our weekly picks!

Happy Friday! We had a big week here at WEIL Nutrition Corner™.

On Monday we shared some of the foods we’ve been loving lately (including a roasted beet sandwich!), offered simple ways to make your salads more nutritious, and covered seasonal foods with plenty of recipes to get you started, from Roasted Chickpeas and a Salmon Quinoa Bowl to Banana Walnut Muffins and a Pineapple-Almond Smoothie.

On Tuesday, Diana asked you all for insight into what type of content you want to see covered in Nourished Mama. Suggestions are always welcome! Check out what others have requested and add yours here.

Wednesday we shared our opinions on the The Atkins Diet as well as the pros and cons of eating this way.

And today, we are covering the nutrients and types of fish that can help your hair look and feel healthier (including a VIP-only recipe, Citrus-Ginger Salmon with Greens). We’re also sharing our weekly kitchen recommendations. Enjoy!

Every Friday, we share a quick roundup of products we actually use and love - whether in the kitchen, at the table, or while shopping. These are the tools and staples that make cooking, serving, and clean-up easier and more enjoyable. As an Amazon Associate, Weil Nutrition Corner™ may earn from qualifying purchases.

Red Boat Fish Sauce 40 N. This fish sauce is high quality and has just two ingredients: Anchovies and salt. It adds a nice umami flavor to foods. - Dr. Weil

The Fishwife Tinned Fish. I enjoy tinned fish, especially tinned sardines and herring. I have found The Fishwife’s offerings to be tasty and consistent. A good way to sample tinned fish if you are new to them. - Dr. Weil

Vegan Omega-3s. This is the vegan omega-3 supplement I take to make sure I’m still getting omega-3s as a vegetarian. - Diana

Food as Medicine: The Nutrients and Fish That Can Help Your Hair Look Healthy

Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring can help keep your hair looking shiny. Their high content of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamin D nourishes hair follicles and can help combat hair loss. These nutrients strengthen hair, reduce inflammation, and support hair growth. Read on for more info on each!

Best Fish For Hair Health

• Salmon. Excellent source of omega-3s, protein, Vitamin D, and B vitamins for growth and shine. Choose wild-caught Alaskan salmon if possible.

• Mackerel and herring. Rich in omega-3s, which can support strong, shiny hair.

• Sardines. Packed with omega-3s, protein, Vitamin D, and selenium for follicle health.

• Trout and anchovies. Good sources of essential nutrients for hair.

• Halibut. Contains magnesium and healthy oils to strengthen and shine hair.

Opt for fatty, cold-water fish for the best nutrient profile - and choose wild-caught salmon for extra vitamin D and protein. Aim for 2-3 servings weekly to get sufficient omega-3s.
