Can food cure my dandruff?
For the last few months I have had really bad dandruff. I have recently started a healthly eating diet and wondered if this might help?

It's very likely your new regime could help. Dandruff can be a sign of deficiencies, particularly in something like essential fatty acids (like the omega 3 oils contained in oily fish), it could also signify that your body is reacting to or not tolerating something.
Ensure you include plenty of fibre from fresh fruits and vegetables in your new diet along with water to help clear toxins and boost the health of the skin cells. And don't forget to question some of the products you are using - some are very strong and can irritate the scalp. Look for those that don't contain sodium lauryl sulphate or strong perfume.
