Bad diet? Unhealthy lifestyle generally? Low-level stress? The fact that I like to pull out any kind of shedding fur? All apply. I don't think i can blame the vegan thing but my hair seems to be thinning way faster than my genes would dictate. Hope I look good bald.

@TODO nutritional audit and start eating right.

@DONE:

(interestingly, i don't have a single white spot on my fingernails, another alleged sign of malnutrition)

The body actually gets vitamin A in two ways: from plant sources in the form of carotenoids, such as beta carotene, that convert to vitamin A in the body. These sources include red, yellow, and orange fruits and vegetables as well as some dark green leafy vegetables.

best sources of vitamin B6 are protein-rich foods
soybeans
Whole grains, cereals, nuts, and legumes also contain reasonable amounts.

Sources of folic acid include:

leafy vegetables
orange juice
avocado
beets
broccoli
brewer’s yeast
liver
wheat germ
some fortified cereals
Most enriched grain products, such as bread, flour, rice, macaroni, and noodles, must be fortified with folic acid according to a new law.

The reference daily intake of vitamin Bl2 is 6.0 micrograms for the average adult. B12 is found mostly in animal foods

Vitamin C
citrus fruits
berries
melons
peppers
dark green leafy vegetables
potatoes
tomatoes
seeds
nuts

Whole-grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes contain zinc, but in a form that is less available to the body.

Plant foods such as dried beans, seeds, nuts, grain products, and many vegetables also contain protein, but not in the complete form. Eating a variety of plant foods helps to ensure you receive adequate amounts of amino acids.
