Can vegetarians lose their hair because thier not eating meat?

Answer 1

I've read all of the posts and I just don't think it's that simple. I have LOTS of vegetarian friends and they don't appear to be losing their hair.

Conversley, I know many people losing their hair who DO eat meat.

I think it should be asked of people who really are losing their hair, or really are vegetarians, not just guesses or speculations.

My former boss's hair is thinning but she's going through the change. Her husband has hair down to his waist. They're both vegetarians.

Answer 2

not something, except all you ate in the past substitute into meat meat meat and meat. which may be very boring and undesirable wellbeing-sensible. maximum classic human beings consume nuts, beans, legumes, cheese, milk ( from nuts, beans, or cows). Peanut butter is crammed with protein, so is tofu, fava beans, lima beans, lentils, cheese, soycheese, yoghurt, soymilk, all forms of ingredients. maximum foodstuff has protein in it, even wholewheat bread , pasta, cereals. you do not could "replace" meat, in reality, you would be at an advantage, as long as you're ingesting different stuff that's incredibly sturdy for you.

No, keratin is the substance in which people's hair and nails are made of. Keratin is a substance that can be found in several different foods, not just meat, and therefore the resource for your body to create hair is abundant. Hair loss is a gene and is hereditary.

yes, they can, but it's not because of not eating meat, but rather because of not getting enough protein and essential vitamins. just be smart about it. i haven't eaten meat in 6 or 7 years and i'm doing just fine. good luck.

Answer 8

lack of nutrition, mainly iron (anemia) can cause this. and yes, vegetarians and especially vegans are more prone to this. if you're having this issue, i recommend going to your doctor and having a full blood panel done. your hormones also need to be checked.
