When a man is in his early twenties, he begins to look forward to a thick and dense beard. Some even like an elegant mustache. Lately, there has been a growing trend among men to take care of their facial hair. So many of them can be seen with impressive beards.
Long beards and mustaches have also been associated with a man’s masculinity. Not to mention, many young people today are inspired by celebrities to grow a beard.
While some men show off a full, healthy and long beard, others have just a few patches of hair on their faces. In the search for a way to improve facial hair growth, guys are trying various lotions and creams that are touted as an effective way to get a beard.
But the lesser known fact is that making some changes to one’s diet can prove to be hugely effective in facilitating beard growth.
Some of the foods that promote beard growth are listed below.
Tuna
If you are non-vegetarian, including tuna in your diet will provide you with some nutrients essential for beard growth. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids and is also packed with protein. Eating tuna will not only improve beard growth but also make your facial hair and skin look shinier and more radiant.
Spinach
Spinach contains significant amounts of nutrients such as vitamin – A, vitamin – C, calcium, iron and folic acid. With these many nutrients, spinach is believed to be effective in stimulating beard growth as it helps to supply oxygen to the hair follicles.
Cinnamon
Being a popular spice, cinnamon is used in a range of dishes – from curries to even desserts. However, apart from consuming it, cinnamon can also be applied to the face as a paste to improve beard growth. For better results, you can mix the cinnamon paste with a few drops of lemon before applying it gently to the beard. This helps open the pores on your skin, which in turn leads to better beard growth.
pumpkin seeds
Experts believe that consuming pumpkin seeds can help you get a fuller and denser beard. It is packed with minerals such as zinc, which promote the healthy growth of facial hair. You can consume pumpkin seeds by first drying them up and then either incorporating them into dishes or chewing them as a snack.
coconut oil
Coconut oil is touted as one of the best oils for hair massage. However, it also works the same for your facial hair. Gently massaging your beard with coconut oil can make the hair thicker and stronger. Moreover, to reap its benefits, one can also use coconut oil for cooking.
