    I tout the benefits of a Mediterranean diet as much as I demand you to get 10,000 steps a day, no excuses. And at the risk of sounding like a broken record I am recommending it again. This time to offset any nutrient deficiencies you may have that might contribute to unhealthy skin that leads to dandruff. Diets rich in zinc, healthy fats like omega-3 EFAs, and B vitamins might keep your dandruff under control. So even if you can’t go to a Greek island, imagine you live there, dig into colorful fruits and vegetables, hearty beans, nutty whole grains, lean proteins (like fish and poultry), and satisfying nuts, and your dandruff may just disappear.
