Hair loss

Although many factors can contribute to hair loss, protein deficiency can be one of them. This is due to the fact the hair, skin and nails are not the body’s priority in times of deficiency.

The body is concerned with survival, and hair is not necessary for that purpose. This can result in more hair loss than normal when you take a shower, and you may notice your nails going brittle too.

✓ Try to include a protein source at every meal and track how much protein you eat so that you know if you are hitting your target numbers on a daily basis. There are plenty of free apps that making doing this easy and hassle free.

✓ Don’t rely too heavily on any single protein source, try to vary them so that you are receiving the full spectrum of amino acids and also all the accompanying vitamins and minerals that go hand in hand with a varied balanced diet.
