What should I do if I lose weight and lose hair?

A good-looking hairstyle can change a person's entire aura, but the prerequisite is that you have good-looking hair! Have any friends noticed that they are losing more and more hair on the road to weight loss? So what should you do if you lose weight and lose hair?

Why does losing weight cause hair loss?

1. Dieting to lose weight will cause stress to the human body:

The growth and development of hair will go through several processes, namely the growth period, the resting period, and the shedding period. When a person feels anxious, whether it is physical or psychological stress, it will cause the hair to stop growing and enter the other two stages.

2. Fasting to lose weight will also reduce the body's iron level.

Iron deficiency can reduce the blood supply to the hair follicles, or hinder some nerve regulation functions, leading to hair follicle malnutrition and hair loss.

3. Insufficient protein and nutrients:

The main components of hair are "protein" and many nutrients such as zinc, iron, copper, etc. However, people who are on a hunger strike to lose weight do not consume enough protein and nutrients, and it is very easy for their hair to fall due to severe malnutrition.

How to lose weight without losing hair?

Don’t miss meals and meat products

Since hair loss is caused by eating too little, it can be replenished through diet.

During the maintenance period, women should ensure at least 1,200 calories per day (1,500 calories for men), of which meals should not be less than the size of three fists, and meat products should be about the size of 3-4 fingers. This is a must and cannot be omitted. Of course, if you are a vegetarian, you should also pay attention to getting enough protein from soy protein, such as soy foods, dried fruits, etc.

If you don’t take in enough meals (carbohydrates), meat products (protein) for a long time, you will quickly develop various symptoms such as hair loss, scanty or even no menstruation, sallow complexion, depression, and immune impairment.

What's even worse is that even if you make such a big sacrifice, Mr. White Meat will never see you again easily. As long as you slightly repair your diet, Mr. Xiu Zhong will rebound immediately and gain more and more fat. Because you go on a diet too much and lose weight, most of what you lose is water and muscle.
