Q. Why did my hair fall out after not eating well?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Hair loss is a complex and common condition that can have multiple causes, and diet is one possible factor. Nutritional deficiencies in your diet can lead to poor hair health and even trigger excessive shedding of hair. This is because the body needs nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, magnesium and vitamins A & B to maintain healthy hair growth. When your body does not get these essential nutrients from your meals it may be unable to properly nourish the scalp or support strong strands of hair.
Low-calorie diets are another dietary factor linked with hair loss, especially when they negatively impact nutrition levels by cutting out essential food groups like lean proteins or whole grains. Also, extreme changes in calorie intake from eating too few calories (as opposed to normal caloric restrictions) will cause rapid shedding of hairs within 2-6 weeks due to increased stress on the body which resulting in a decrease in blood flow for follicles needed for proper functioning & growth of new hairs leading ultimately leads to baldness over time for some people.
It's important that you seek medical advice if you notice an unexpected change in your level of shedding as there could be other underlying causes besides nutritional deficiencies causing this issue - such as hormonal imbalances or autoimmune disorders - which need further tests by professionals before proceeding further with specific treatments tailored towards those conditions if necessary.
