Every two weeks I like to go one day with out eating, or skipping a meal. I do not do it to lose weight but I have heard it is good for you ( I still drink water ) and it helps to flush out toxins in your body. Is this true? I regularily eat small meals throughout the day that are healthy and I get usually 2-4 hours of exercise a day. After fasting for a day I continue with my normal eating pattern and I do not try to eat a lot to make up for it.
This is beneficial, right?
No, this is not good. It's never good to deny your body of nutrients. There are other ways to flush out toxins, certian foods do the trick! 2 to 4 hours of exercise a day requires a lot of calories in return, or you aren't doing yourself any good. (And I'm not just talking about the days you fast, you probaly need to start eating larger meals. But keep them healthy) If you burn more calories than you are eating and you don't need to lose weight, you probaly will and that's not good!
I've been losing alot of hair lately, mainly when I take a shower/bath there is a large amount of hair on top of the drain and when ever I run my hand though my hair there is always a few strands.
so I was wondering if its because of bad nutrition, dying my hair, or from straighting it.
I've died my hair many times before just this time its black. So maybe I'm just seeing all the hair now because its black and not the light brown it was before.
I'm vegan so I know I don't get enough calcium or protein ( I take a multivitamin for everything else ).
So could my hair loss be because of either those three things or some other reason?
It's probaly from a little bit of all three. Bad nutrition defientaly, and anything unnatural thing you do to your hair can weaken it (straighting, dying...)I straighten my hair so i know that messes it up. I'd suggest Garnier Fructis Long&Strong conditioner. I haven't been using it very long and already my hair feels thicker n stronger.
