Hair loss in today's time is rampant and can be a result of various causes such as hormonal changes, heredity conditions, medical conditions, change in lifestyle, and more. The symptoms are unique to each one, and usually, someone realizes this as soon as they start experiencing significant hair loss. Also, people typically fail to identify the root cause until hair loss becomes prominent. At Advanced Hair Studio, we have witnessed a substantial increase in demand for hair loss treatment solutions; across age-groups and gender. Irrespective of the age number or sexual category, people have become conscious of their appearance, and healthy hair plays a crucial role in adding to the feel-good factor for most.
Changes in lifestyle, diet, sleep cycle, stress management, and regular exercise schedule can be some of the natural changes that have a significant impact on improving our hair as well as overall physical health. Making thoughtful alterations to our daily routine can have a significant long-term impact. However, it would vary for every individual.
Below are five fundamental lifestyle changes that impact hair growth.
Exercising
Overall physical health is essential for us to keep the locks healthy and shiny. Sweating, due to exercising helps to unclog the hair follicles, giving enough space for the new hair to grow. In addition to this, exercising increases blood flow, which boosts oxygen supply, provides nourishment to the hair roots, and promotes healthy hair growth. Also, exercising increases happy hormones (serotonin), that helps reduce stress.

A prolonged stressful situation, like instability in personal or professional life, pregnancy, chronic illness, injury, relationship issues, and financial concerns, can trigger the loss of hair. Such hair loss usually is not permanent, and you may regain healthy hair regrowth by managing your stress.
