Vegetarian Nutrition
I stopped having meat completely since the past 4 years. I do have eggs twice a week and milk everyday. But I am not sure if my diet is fine. How do I increase intake if B12 and vitamin D? The only health issue I've seen faced is massive hair loss. Is it due to B12 or omega 3 deficiency?
What is a balanced vegetarian diet?

Hi,
The sources of vitamin B12 is animal foods, but as you have taken egg and milk then there will be generally no problem of deficiency of vitamin B12.
Still if you have doubt you can go for test, and if it is found low then you need to take vitamin B12 supplement. The best source of Vitamin D is Sunlight, so it will better take sunbath between 10 am to 3 pm for 10- 15 minutes without applying sunscreen. There are many reason behind hair loss, among these protien deficiency another one. Instead of twice, consume egg thrice in week, with keeping milk and milk products daily. Except that different pulses, soyabean, almond, cashew etc try to include in diet. The sources of omega 3 fatty acids are almond, Fenugreek, cooking oil etc.
