High Protein Diet Can Accelerate Hair Loss?
Is it true that weight lifting and a diet high in protein can cause or accelerate hairloss?
Many weight lifters take exogenous steroids and testosterone, which increases the circulating DHT, which then produces more hair loss. The element that runs through my mind is with all of the muscle mass, does the testosterone rise? If so, the hair will fall out more rapidly in those with a predisposition to genetic balding. If the weight lifters have more stress than the typical man, then more hair loss may be present, again in those with genetic predispositions for genetic balding. There are many weight lifters that have a full head of hair, but that may be good genes.
With regard to your questions on diet, any good diet (even high in proteins) provided that it contains the daily requirement of nutrients, will not accelerate hair loss.
