Brief Answer:
Male pattern baldness:Improvisation in diet & light exercises.

Detailed Answer:
Hello young fellow,

Welcome again to the forum and thanks for posting your details.

I can understand your concern for hair loss. After a analyzing the complete condition with reports I can get that you have basically Androgenic alopecia with bit of natural hair fall which we call as telogen effluvium.

To tell you regarding hair fall: All of us males have a tendency of hair fall which is known as male pattern baldness or medically known as "Androgenic Alopecia". It is quite common to find hair fall in men which is known as "male pattern baldness" is most common cause of hair fall in young men like you.

Other than male pattern baldness there can be falling of hair all over the scalp can occur after simple problem of "Telogen effluvium".

To tell you simply let me explain you some medical facts regarding this type of hair fall.

We have a hair cycle divided into three parts:

1. Growing phase (Anagen): more than 85 -90 % of hair are in this phase

2. Senescence phase(Catagen): around less than 10 % of hair are in this phase and is the phase before falling.

3. Falling phase (Telogen ): a very few percentage of hair.

We have almost 1 lac hair on our scalp and amongst them few percent of hair are in falling phase and then another 0.1% (around 50-100) of hair can fall everyday. At certain times some more of the hair may come in falling phase. These extra of the hair which comes in senescence are actually visible as falling hair.

I would like to suggest you to have a good nourishing diet because that is quite very helpful in retaining the hair and maintaining it better.

Now for the part of your query regarding diet:

For the betterment kindly follow the suggestions below:

1. Eat at least 3-4 different fruits saplings per day. Every fruit is good but you can make a combination of sour with sweet fruits such as oranges, papaya and other of seasonal fruits.

2. Pulses are good source of proteins. So everyday have a small bowel full of mixed pulses. Add green leafy vegetables additionally in the pulses which contain lot of iron and vitamins in it.

3. Sprouts are the best source of fibers, minerals especially iron, vitamins and proteins too. so add it at-least alternate day if you cannot make in everyday's part of meal.

4. Over night soaked and peeled almonds will give you good vitamin E which is good for the hair growth. 5. Milk and milk products should be included in every-day's schedule.

6.Do light exercises, work out and yoga. As you are IT professional so it self obvious that you can have stress related to your job, so reduce your stress as all these have bit impact on skin so also on scalp skin and hair.

Hope the information will help you.

"Wish you good health"
