Dear brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, today I want to talk to you: "Gray hair of the elderly does not affect health, but why pay special attention to the gray hair that appears?" 》
When it comes to gray hair, everyone must think, what is this? Gray hair is a natural phenomenon that appears with age. Although gray hair itself is not a disease, it does indicate changes in the functioning of the human body.
Why do some people, in their seventies and eighties, grow black hair? Is this rejuvenation? However, some people are not old tomorrow, but they have white hair, the so-called less white head?
Although gray hair is normal in the elderly, when the gray hair suddenly increases, it should be paid enough attention to, because it is likely to be closely related to physical health. Although I am talking about the problem of gray hair here, in fact, what I want to talk about is the problem of nutrition, everyone slowly look down.
Let's get back to business. What exactly does gray hair have to do with good health? What problems should the elderly pay attention to?
Hair color is produced by a type of cells called "pigment cells." The quantity and quality of these cells change with age or when certain diseases occur. Therefore, changes in the number or quality of pigment cells may lead to an increase or decrease in gray hair.
In old age, various metabolic levels of the body change, affecting different parts of the body. If the body's various metabolisms are out of balance, it will adversely affect health. Therefore, the elderly need to pay attention to the usual healthy diet and maintain a healthy state. Among them, paying attention to the supplement of marine fish, meat, eggs and milk is more conducive to maintaining the balance of various metabolisms of the human body and promoting good health.
Although gray hair is an inevitable natural phenomenon, especially as people age, the number of gray hair will gradually increase. However, the increase in gray hair may also have a lot to do with mental health conditions. Factors such as nervousness, anxiety, stress and lack of sleep are all associated with increased gray hair. In addition, some underlying and chronic diseases may also cause gray hair. If the elderly often feel fatigue, insomnia and anxiety, and cannot find the cause, it is better to consult a doctor.
In addition, in many cases, increased gray hair may be a signal of insufficient intake of protein-rich foods.
Because, hair is mainly composed of proteins, of which keratin is the main component of hair. If protein intake is insufficient, it will affect the healthy growth of hair.
In addition, gray hair may also be associated with vitamin deficiencies. Vitamins are an important component of skin and hair and can improve hair quality. Therefore, the diet should be balanced and reasonable, eating more nutrient-rich foods, such as green vegetables, sea fish, eggs, beans, etc.
In addition, the deficiency of trace element zinc is also greatly related to the appearance of gray hair. Elderly people should maintain good eating habits to ensure good health and adequate nutrition.
In this way, nutrition is actually similar to "chicken soup for the soul".
Because, what nutritional knowledge does the average person have? The Internet is full of many, many so-called "nutrition experts", as well as those "pseudo-experts", and those "nutritionists" who have studied for a few months to take a certificate. The east is not the one that fools everyone, nor is the west. This one can't be eaten, that one should be eaten more. Isn't someone ridiculing? After listening to the "experts", the road will not go, the meal will not be eaten, and even the days will not pass.
Last year, the Chinese Nutrition Society compiled the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)" edition. This is a guide for maintaining basic nutrition. But many people don't understand.
If you give a real-world example, you may understand a little. We all know that raised animals will be fed feed, and these feeds are produced by scientific researchers in accordance with the nutritional standards of animals, and then through countless experiments. It's cats, dogs, and cat food and dog food. Because it's science.
Nutrition needs scientific collocation, reasonable proportion, to achieve the best effect, that is, health, productivity improvement.
But many people do not understand this truth, although there are a lot of daily diets, but no matter how much you eat, it is impossible to balance nutrition and take into account comprehensiveness.
Therefore, many people actually have nutritional problems, and many chronic diseases are ultimately caused by long-term nutritional imbalance.
I posted a video two days ago "Why are there more and more foodies?" Understand hunger and hunger, losing weight is actually very simple! After the video was sent, a netizen left a message asking me, "It's wrong not to eat, or is it getting fatter?" If I don't eat lunch, I still can't get down. ”
I replied, "Nutrition is not balanced. Skipping lunch is a scourge to the body. Eat so much when you are hungry at night, even if you don't eat much, the same long meat, because the body knows that you should be hungry again at noon the next day. If you don't grow some meat, how can you carry it the next day?"
In fact, what I want to express is that we really don't treat our body as an object, or something attached to you, and you can manipulate it however you want. She told you about the demands, for example, the body gained weight; For example, gray hair has increased; For example, the knee hurts. You should think of something you did wrong, something wrong? Fat, is it wrong to eat? Gray hair has increased, is it less rest? The knee hurts, if there is no sprain, is there a physical defect? Adjust according to the needs of the body. Slowly the body can cooperate with us, so that we can have a healthy body.
For the elderly, as they age, the body gradually deteriorates, and various signs will follow. In this period, the elderly should pay attention to the health of the body, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, moderate exercise can reduce the fatigue of the body and enhance the body's immunity. Boosts metabolism and slows down the body's aging rate.
It is also necessary to develop healthy and good routines.
The elderly should also go to the hospital regularly for routine physical examination, adjust diet and living arrangements according to the results of the examination, and timely detect and treat various chronic diseases.
Although gray hair is a natural phenomenon, it is a good indicator of the health of the body. Older people need to pay attention to their health at all times. Only by having a good idea of your physical health can you enjoy your old age happily.
