I began run-walking in spring 2016. I lost 60lbs since then. Combo of exersice and portion control. I began to notice fine, white hair on my face, mostly sidez but it is growing closer to my cheeks. Causes?? Could it be rigorous exercising or restricted diet?

Hi.

Exercise and weight loss does not usually cause white hair to be seen. However, a restriction in the diet or avoiding fruits and vitamins may cause some white hair to be seen.

Also, one may notice this with increased stress levels and lack of sleep may cause this.

Many people would find drinking a lot water, taking a balanced diet, and sleeping more than 8 hours a day useful.

I hope this helps. All the best.
