I think a lack of exersize throughout the day is why guys today are going bald earlier than in previous generations. I think high intensity exercises for 3 min every 1-2 hours throughout the day is reversing my hair loss. I'll be making a blog post on it soon with evidence of my progress.
Since August of 2014 I had been losing my hair. More and more of it was showing up in the sink drain. Earlier this year I got worried because it increased. I wasn't sure if it was a temporary thing due to stress or illness so I started saving up the little clumps of hair between paper towels and date stamping them. It just kept getting worse and worse. I got a blood test to check hormone levels and find out if everything's ok. I'm waiting on the results.
Last month I got tired of it all, and decided to experiment as a last ditch effort to prevent baldness in my late 20s. I started short but high intensity exersizes every 1 hour, for about 2-3 minutes. After only 1 week new hair has started sprouting up on my scalp. And the amount I've seen in the sink drain has gone down drastically. This is very odd because there's a huge delay in when hair grows and falls (often months) not 1 week. So I'm convinced it's the exersize that's increased circulation, jump started cell growth, and maintained healthy hormone levels. I need to test this out in the long term and try to get other guys to participate. I doubt it's a coincidence because 1 week I skipped my exercises and my hair growth decreased a bit and hair loss increased a tiny bit.
tl;dr The right dose of exersize for a healthy head of hair. Possibly.
- BSousa 12y agoI started losing mine at 17 and I worked out/moved a lot at the time (played 2 sports + fun activities) so I doubt there is a connection there.

- ghthor 12y agoMale pattern baldness is directly linked to testosterone. I believe is also linked to stress. If you're TOO active and causing high levels of cortisol in your system then you'll probably go bald early.
