We have stressed the fact that eating right can change your beard for the better. Eating healthy and exercising has been proven to impact every part of the body in the most positive ways. From increasing growth of long and luscious hair to glowing skin and both internal and physical health, this is your answer to a better you with a thick, beautiful beard.
Now don’t get us wrong…balding does not apply to this. A receding hairline all comes down to genes and there is not enough broccoli in the world to change that. Sorry! However, your beard can disappear right along with an unhealthy lifestyle.

Other key nutrients for a healthy beard:
- Cinnamon– you can infuse your water with cinnamon sticks or have a cinnamon roll. Cinnamon improves circulation to follicles ensuring that hair grows faster.
- Raisins– these dried grapes boost testosterone which speeds up hair growth.
