On that snowy New Year's Day holiday, Lily Wang, a hard-working librarian, met her old friend she hadn't seen for many years, Dr. Zheng, an old doctor with rich experience in the medical field, on the ski slopes, and the two met by chance on the cable car and started an interesting conversation.
"Wang Lili, have you noticed that our female friends of this age are complaining about their hair turning gray?" Dr. Zheng opened the conversation as he adjusted his ski cap.
Wang Lili smiled and nodded, she did notice this phenomenon, and was curious and confused about it. Seeing this, Dr. Cheng began to share some of his views and insights.
He began by pointing out that not all women with gray hair after the age of 35 do so because of age, and there may be many other reasons behind it.
He went on to mention an unknown point: mental stress.
Dr Cheng elaborated that long-term mental stress can cause changes in hormone levels in the body, which can affect the pigment cells of the hair, which is a significant cause of premature graying of young people's hair.
He cites a number of cases to support this idea, including some of the stories of patients he has personally treated.
Subsequently, Dr. Cheng mentioned genetic factors. He says that many people ignore the influence of family genetics, and in fact, hair color and texture are largely determined by genetics.
If there is a premature white in the family, then the likelihood of the same situation in the offspring will also increase.
Next, he talked about eating Xi. An unbalanced diet lacking essential trace elements, such as copper, zinc, iron, etc., can lead to graying of hair.
Dr Cheng emphasised the importance of a balanced diet and advised everyone to pay attention to their daily diet.
When it comes to graying hair, Dr. Cheng doesn't forget to mention the details that are often overlooked, such as the frequency of hair dye use and personal hygiene Xi.
He uses humorous language to make these seemingly boring medical knowledge vivid and interesting.
At the end of the conversation, Dr. Zheng suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Do you know why fish in the sea don't have legs?"
Dr. Cheng explained with a smile, "This question seems to be off topic, but it is actually related to the theory of evolution.
Similarly, hair graying is a complex physiological process, which involves the interaction of genetics, environment, life Xi and other factors. ”
Through this conversation, Wang Lili has a more comprehensive understanding of the problem of graying hair. She thanked Dr. Cheng for sharing and decided to pay more attention to her health and lifestyle Xi from today.
For Dr. Cheng, this is not just an ordinary conversation, but also his responsibility as a doctor – to let more people know about health and live a better life.
