"Bald, also stronger! This is why we often make fun of people who are bald in fitness. Many people may naturally associate fitness with hair loss. In the impression of most people, they seem to be well-trained, muscular, with sparse hair and even bald, such as dwayne douglas johnson and Jason Statham, and Ronnie Kalman, the father of bodybuilding, is also bald; Seven-time Olympic champion phil heath is also bald.
From this point of view, there seems to be a certain connection between fitness and hair loss. Indeed, first of all, to tell you frankly, there is a certain relationship between androgen level and hair loss. With a little practice, people who exercise, especially men, will have slightly higher androgen levels than ordinary people. High androgen levels will increase the probability of hair loss, but this is not absolute.
Fitness, especially high-intensity strength training with moderate time, will increase the level of androgen in the body. In addition, testosterone itself will not cause hair loss, and it must be fused with the enzyme 5-α- reductase to form DHT, which may cause hair loss.
What is DHT?
Dihydrotestosterone, dihydrotestosterone and alopecia do have some correlation, but it is not inevitable. All dihydrotestosterone in our body is converted from testosterone value, and about 5% of testosterone will be converted into dihydrotestosterone. At the same time, dihydrotestosterone does not directly cause hair loss, but it will bind to the receptor. Simply put, if you have a hair loss gene, you will lose it. If you don't have the gene for hair loss, you won't lose it.
The main purpose of tonics such as testicle promotion is to increase testosterone level, promote muscle growth, and also have a certain impact on androgen level, which is helpful to improve androgen level in the body.
But hair loss is not only related to dihydrotestosterone and androgen, but also related to sebaceous gland secretion, family genes, diet structure, work and rest habits, life stress, shampoo, water temperature during bathing, etc. There are many factors. Comparatively speaking, the interference of dihydrotestosterone and androgen can be said to be minimal. In fact, the most important thing is the genetic influence in your body.
Realistically speaking, if there is no hair loss potential in your family genes, there is no risk of hair loss whether you exercise or use testosterone-stimulating supplements, but if your genes determine that you have hair loss potential, you will still be bald whether you practice or not, eat or not.
It is not reasonable to directly tie the single factor of fitness to hair loss, so relax. Fitness won't make you balder and stronger. Compared with worrying about the possibility of hair loss caused by fitness, staying up late is much bigger than fitness.
In addition, if you are worried about the risk of hair loss caused by testosterone supplementation, you don't have to do it. Just do normal fitness training. Moreover, such a supplement is not very recommended, so it can be said that it is just a placebo.
