The Link Between Exercise and Hair

Exercise increases blood circulation, which can help deliver more nutrients to hair follicles. This improved circulation can promote healthier hair growth and potentially slow down hair loss. Regular physical activity also helps reduce stress, a known factor in hair thinning.

Simple Exercises for Hair Health

Incorporate activities like brisk walking, jogging, or cycling into your routine to boost circulation. Yoga and meditation can also be beneficial, as they focus on stress reduction, which indirectly supports hair health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
