Healthy skin and hair

Kale is high in vitamin A, a nutrient required for sebum production to keep hair moisturized. Vitamin A is also necessary for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. Adequate intake of vitamin C, which kale can provide, is needed for the building and maintenance of collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair. Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair loss, which can be prevented by an adequate intake of iron rich foods, like kale.
