A resident of the UK told about hair loss after refusing food of animal origin.
Musician Jessica Drew (Jessica Dru) from London claims to have decided to become a vegan last April, writes Rambler with reference to The Daily Mail.
“More and more acquaintances tried to do this,” she says. “I stopped eating dairy products a long time ago and thought that I could just as well refuse meat.”
At first, Drew felt better and more energetic, but after a few weeks she noticed hair loss. “I was moulting all over the house,” she recalls. - In some places the hair on the head has become thin, especially in the front. This confused me. I seemed to be older than my years, but I’m not even 30 ”.
Despite this, Drew did not abandon the vegan diet. A few months later, drowsiness was added to the hair loss. It became so difficult to wake up in the morning that she had to set several alarm clocks.
One of the reasons for hair loss could be the lack of keratins in her diet - the proteins that make up hair and nails. In addition to meat and fish, they are contained in beans, lentils, chickpeas and soy milk.
Now Drew is trying to expand her diet with keratin-based plant foods and hopes that this will solve her problem.
In 2018, it was reported that a pair of Australian vegans brought an 18-month-old child to exhaustion and rickets by putting him on a strict diet without animal products. The girl's weight in 19 months was 4,9 kilogram.
