Tomato, Cucumber and Red Onion Salad
Tomatoes provide a good wallop of B vitamins which are thought to control excess oil on the scalp. Evidence suggests that a sufficient intake of the B vitamins, particularly of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), can help combat greasy hair by regulating sebum production. The excess sebum fighting effects of this salad are further strengthened by balsamic vinegar which contains compounds that can reduce the glycemic index rating index of the meal. Low glycemic meals help control circulating androgen levels which are associated with excess oil on the scalp.
