Most people think that long white hair is something that only appears in the elderly, but they do not know that young people will occasionally grow a few white hairs, and even some people have the phenomenon of juvenile whiteness, which greatly affects people's appearance. So what is the reason why some people have white hair at a young age?
Young people with gray hair may be caused by family genetics, disease, malnutrition and other factors. Among them, if some of the parents have gray hair in their youth, the children are also very likely to be inherited.
If you suffer from diseases such as leukemia, tuberculosis or hyperthyroidism, the disease is not treated in time or may cause premature graying of human hair during the treatment period.
After the body is violated by the disease, the body's metabolism, endocrine, qi and blood may be affected, so some people can not eat and absorb food normally, malnutrition may also lead to the body's melanocytes can not get the supply of nutrients, can not make melanin for hair, so some hair follicles grow out of the hair color will be white.
So, what nutrients does the body lack in really lead to a lack of nutrition in melanin?
1. B vitamins
B vitamins can be divided into many kinds, if the human body lacks vitamins B1, B2, B6 and other nutrients will lead to insufficient nutrition of melanin, secretion of melanin function after the decline in hair whitening. Therefore, everyone usually eats more beans, livers, bananas, and green leafy vegetables to help the body supplement B vitamins.
2, the lack of trace elements
Studies have found that if the human body lacks trace elements such as copper, iron, and cobalt, hair will be more likely to turn white than normal people. Because a mixture of iron, copper, cobalt and other substances is an important part of hair pigment particles, once the body lacks these nutrients, the hair cannot be maintained as black, and the hair texture will deteriorate.
Therefore, in order to avoid early graying of hair, young people are best to develop the habit of not being picky and partial to eating, and usually eat more vegetables and fruits to help the body supplement nutrition.
For example, black fungus, liver, kelp and eggs contain more iron elements, nuts, seafood, kidneys contain more copper elements, we should eat more of these foods, and strive to improve the early graying of hair.
Not only that, in normal times, we should also appropriately supplement protein and nutrition, eat more eggs, milk and beans, which also helps to improve the phenomenon of early graying of hair.
If young people grow a small amount of white hair, it is necessary to be wary of malnutrition in the body, which is caused by the lack of the above two types of substances. In order to improve this situation, it is necessary to adjust the diet structure and improve the graying of the hair.
If the hair is more white, you should be vigilant that it is caused by the disease, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, clarify the cause of a large amount of gray hair, and follow the doctor's advice to receive treatment.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the primary disease is improved, the situation of hair whitening can be controlled or improved, and everyone tries to strengthen the maintenance of the body during treatment to avoid growing more white hair or giving the hair a chance to turn black.
