Ask Dr. Weil by Andrew Weil : Change in diet may grow hair

[powersam]

thats why cavemen were balding?

Where am I talking about caveman in this quote?

I brought up cavemen...as all they ate was animal protein. It wasn't too much for them as they weren't balding.

cavemen were balding because it had to do with genetics.

I simply posted this topic as a talking point for a unique situation with hair my friend. Very specific reason why SOME people...RARE people are losing hair.[/quote]



i wonder could either one of you tell me how you would possibly know whether cavemen went bald or not?

most theories about the diets of cavemen suggest that they ate mostly nuts and fruits/vegetables, with intermittent periods of large meat consumption. ie they ate meat every now and then, not all the time.

I think CCS has also increased his meat intake recently. :gay: :mrgreen:

:shock: :shock:

? Decrease protein intake toward 10 percent of daily calories; replace animal protein as much as possible with plant protein.
? Eliminate milk and milk products, substituting other calcium sources.
? Eat more fruits and vegetables regularly and make sure that they are organically grown.
? Eliminate polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, vegetable shortening, all partially hydrogenated oils, and all foods (such as deep-fried foods) that might contain trans-fatty acids. Use extra-virgin olive oil as your main fat.
? Increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
? Take black currant oil or evening primrose oil capsules as sources of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), an essential fatty acid that improves the health of skin and hair. The usual children's dose is 250 mg twice a day.

This is close to my diet now as I've become vegetarian this year...
