Although there is now a very nice trend in women, who appear to start gray hair naturally at any age, there are also those who prefer to see it late and hide it when they are young. Both are fine as long as you feel good about yourself.
Gray hair and gray hair can appear when a person is still young, due to hereditary factors or some pathology, but the truth is that white hair is more identified as a natural sign of aging.
Why do dogs appear?
Gray hair does not mean that the hair changes color, but rather that it loses its color. They occur with melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment (melanin). In addition to genetics, there are other factors that can accelerate this process, such as stress, exposure to chemicals, or nutrient deficiencies.
There is currently no way to reverse gray hair (although some studies suggest it is impossible). Therefore, if we want to improve its appearance as much as possible, it is important to take care of the diet and provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals that promote the health of the hair and the production of melanin.
So the simple answer is to maintain a balanced diet where all the foods are not missing. The sweeter and more varied the food, the more you can take care of everything your hair needs to grow healthy and strong.
What vitamins delay the appearance of old age?
Essential vitamins against graying are:
Retinol: the name of vitamin A, contributes to hair growth and repair and regulates sebum secretion. The sword is sharper, because if we drink, it hurts the hair too much. It is born from foods such as carrots, pumpkins or aphids.
Vitamin B12: This vitamin is necessary for cellular metabolism and the formation of red blood cells. Its deficiency can cause anemia and hair color. It is found in foods of animal origin, such as meat, fish, eggs or dairy products.
Biotin: the name of vitamin B8, very necessary for the health of hair, nails and skin in general. Its deficiency causes hair to fall out or lose color. It is in the yolk of the egg. But beware, raw album has the opposite effect and dissolves its absorption.
Folic acid: it is vitamin B9, this nutrient helps to synthesize methionine, another substance that participates in hair color. In addition, it strengthens the hair follicles and prevents hair loss. It can be made from leafy greens (lettuce, spinach), vegetables or nuts.
Vitamin C: has an antioxidant effect that protects the hair from damage caused by free radicals. As you know, free radicals are produced naturally through cellular metabolism or from exposure to environmental factors such as chocolate. Vitamin C also stimulates collagen production. It is found in citrus fruits, kiwis, strawberries or peppers.
Vitamin D: helps the production of melanin and strengthens the hair follicles. In addition, calcium helps to be better absorbed in the body, which also affects the color of the hair. Vitamin D is best obtained with moderate sun exposure. About ten minutes a day is enough.
Vitamin E: also has antioxidant properties that improve blood circulation to the skin and nourishes the hair from the roots. It can be found in vegetable oils, seeds, or avocados.
Minerals and habits less gray
Apart from vitamins, these two minerals are essential for healthy hair.
Copper participates in the synthesis of melanin and prevents gray hair from appearing prematurely.
Tinnitus protects the texture of the hair, reduces hair loss and gray hair.
Cadmium and copper can be obtained through foods such as red meat, shellfish, eggs, and dark chocolate.
To all these nutrients must be added good drinking and healthy habits;
Avoid stress: try relaxation techniques, such as meditation or yoga, and make sure you get enough sleep and exercise regularly to reduce stress.
Excessive use of dryers or chemical colors. Hair products that contain harsh chemicals are harmful. Replace them with mild, natural products to keep your hair healthy and shiny.
Avoid tobacco: it contains chemicals that accelerate the appearance of gray hair. Avoid smoking and also exposure to tobacco smoke. Tobacco and pollution oxidize – and consequently age- melanocytes. Smokers are 2.5 times more likely to have premature gray hair.
Let me not forget, however, that gray hair is a natural part of the body, and that it is not a reason, it is not pride to display. In fact, compared to other ages, there is already a growing consensus of women who wear them beautifully.
