I think dairy and cheese causes hair loss. Interestingly, their are pro dht websites, body building, mostly. They say carbs raise dht levels. Also, reading saturated fats.
Most vegetarians have the least healthy diet, from my understanding of a healthy diet. Cheese, milk, sugars especially fructose without the fiber, fats, wheat, rice, most oils except fish/olive/coconut /nuts, kill you! In short, the sum total, is lean and green. Eat like a gorilla, a stone age man. If all animal life came from the sea, then at least eat fish... And this does not mention that due to oxydative freeradicals, every time you eat you damage your dna, so calorie restriction is key to living to age 150.
Also food processing has never been defined. But, usually I see real meat being filled with corn and animal fat. Things are packaged to short change custom, like sytrofoam and paper to weight down packaging scale. It makes sense, if you pay money per pound to package or process, they have to cheaping it out. On the other hand, I have read up on the preservatives that scare other people, and they are harmless. I am all for canning, jarring, and preserving food, as it is just less wasteful and great for famine times. Salt adding, you ask. Well.. Also, if you are in hot climates, drink 2 gallons of water like I do in summer, it washes out the salt, so you need more salt. Rather than worrying about how much salt, start worrying about getting at least a gallon or 1.5 of water per day. I never had any issue drinking 1 gallon of water at one sitting, even when not thirsty.
At 2 gallons, it causes diahera, and I cant fathom people drinking 5 gallons at a time and killing themselves.
64 ounces of water is not hardly enough. They just say that as few people are willing to go higher. Especially, when they may drink only 16.
All said, what about periodic fasting, on hair?
I wonder how long vegans or vegetarian can go without their sugars or carbs? Or vegetarians without their cheese, dairy, sugars, or unhealthy carbs? On one hand, vegans are smarter for no dairy. But at least many vegetarians do eat fish. Flax bio availability of EPA is tiny, compared to fish. Probably both eat too many unhealthy carbs and sugars. .
I can calorie restrict best with lean meat, period. 200 calories of lean meat, and I am good for 12 hours if not around food. 200 calories of wheat, I am hungry 45 minutes later. 200 calories of fiber lasts 2 hours. 200 calories of fish, for some reason-perhaps genetic gap larger between man and fish- not as good as land meat. 200 calories sugar, nearly zero minutes to hunger, 200 calories oatmeal is a tad better than just fiber, dairy, not that good, 200 calories of almonds seem to do very well. For me a vegan diet would mean a higher calorie diet. I gain weight eating lettuce, because I must eat 2 heads with low calorie dressing before my hunger slows down.
