Generally, gray hair is more common in the elderly, but nowadays, many young people and even children also have gray hair. In addition to age and genetics, gray hair may also be caused by malnutrition. So what nutrients are lacking in gray hair? What nutrients are missing when growing white hair?Gray hair may be related to the lack of the following substances in the body: ① Studies have shown that gray hair is related to the lack of vitamin B (such as B1, B2, B6); ②At the same time, niacin deficiency is also related to gray hair; ③Some new studies show that gray hair may be related to the lack of trace elements, such as copper and iron. Vitamins are involved in the metabolism and synthesis of many substances, and their lack may be one of the factors causing gray hair. Based on current research, the mechanism of gray hair is still unclear, and it may be caused by multiple factors. If people with gray hair are found to be vitamin deficient during examination, it is recommended to supplement vitamins appropriately. Why do children have white hair?If a child has white hair, if family genetic factors are excluded, then it may be that the child's body lacks a certain trace element or melanin enzyme. It is best to take the child to the hospital to check the trace elements. Usually, we should ensure that children have a balanced nutrition, do not be picky eaters, and eat more beans and vegetables. More sun exposure, proper light and fresh air are beneficial to children's growth. Eat less sugar and avoid desserts and drinks made with artificial colors, because sugar in the body will reduce the content of vitamin E in the blood, and vitamin E is very important for hair growth. Sugar will also interfere with the body's absorption of protein, minerals and blood. Eat less food containing high amount of animal protein, because children's bodies cannot digest excess animal protein. The remaining animal protein will produce excess uric acid in the body, which will cause gray hair. How to prevent gray hair in daily life① You must maintain good work and rest habits, do not stay up late, have a diversified diet, maintain a good mood, etc.; ②Try not to dye or perm your hair to avoid damaging it; choose mild shampoo as much as possible; ③Suggestions from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine: Combing your hair frequently and massaging your scalp can also help prevent gray hair. |
