What is missing in the body will cause white hair With the increasing competitive pressure in modern society, people's work pace is also accelerating. The survey found that in recent years, Hoary hair The trend of youth is increasingly obvious. According to incomplete statistics, alopecia The number of people with white hair has increased by about 30% over the previous years, and many people are troubled by the graying of their hair. So, what is the reason that makes hair white? Scientific research shows that there are many factors that lead to hair whitening, and everyone's situation is different. Only by finding the reasons that lead to their hair whitening, can we fundamentally improve the hair whitening situation.
Genetic or disease factors
The appearance of white hair is related to heredity. People with gray hair or white hair before they reach old age often have a family history, which is autosomal dominant inheritance, and can also be seen in some syndromes (such as premature aging syndrome, syndromic myotonia innutrition Etc.). In addition, they suffer from some serious diseases, such as malignancy anemia , hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis Typhoid fever 、 Syphilis White hair can also appear.
For this group of people, you can improve hair whitening by persistently massaging the scalp. The specific method is: before going to bed and after getting up in the morning, insert ten fingers of both hands into the hair, rub the scalp from the forehead through the head to the back of the brain, 2 to 4 minutes each time. It can improve scalp nutrition, regulate sebum secretion, promote scalp blood circulation, and enhance local metabolism.
Lack of trace elements such as copper and iron
Research shows that the lack of protein and high malnutrition is one of the reasons for early white hair, especially the lack of trace elements such as copper, cobalt and iron in the diet can also lead to white hair. In recent years, scientists have found that the pigment particles of hair contain a mixture of copper and iron. When the nickel content of hair increases, it will turn gray. Therefore, trace elements are closely related to hair color.
In order to prevent less white hair, more food containing iron and copper should be taken in diet. Iron rich foods include animal liver, eggs, black fungus, kelp, soybeans, sesame paste, etc; Copper rich foods include animal liver, kidney, shrimp and crab, nuts, dried apricots, etc.
Lack of B vitamins
Medical research has found that the lack of vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 is also an important reason for the lack of white hair. More foods rich in B vitamins should be taken, such as cereals, beans, animal hearts, liver and kidney, milk, eggs and green leafy vegetables. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hair is in addition to blood, and the kidney dominates bone, and its beauty lies in hair. It advocates that people should eat more food to nourish blood and kidney, and use black hair to moisten hair.
High pressure in work or life
Modern people are under great pressure in work and life, easy to be nervous, depressed, lack of sleep for a long time, excessive thinking, etc., which leads to liver and kidney insufficiency, deficiency of qi and blood, and early white hair.
