More protein, less hair?
LEAN, MEAN AND BALD
You went on a high-protein, low-carb diet to lose the flab and ended up losing hair instead! What’s the deal.
It turns out there may be a link. A study in the Cleveland Clinic Journal of medicine showed that vitamin deficiencies (particularly of B vitamins, zinc, and . iron) have been associated with hair loss. “On diet, especially low- carb, high-protein diets, there is alack of vitamins and minerals,” says Wilma Bergfeld, M.D., the lead author of the study and head of clinical research in the Cleveland Clinic’s department of dermatology. “These Unbalanced and quick diets tend to result if the weight loss is 20 pounds or grater”.
Best remedy:- Take daily multivitamin during and after the diet. Or, for the daring among you, try some fruits and vegetables.
