Eating habits to help improve premature gray hair

Nutritionist Gao Minmin said that more and more young people are getting gray hair. She analyzed that in addition to genetic factors, daily eating and living habits are also the causes of gray hair.

Experts recommend trying to get regular sleep, control stress, minimize stimulants such as beer, alcohol, and cigarettes, and supplement the following nutritional groups to improve hair health.

Protein

Protein is the most important foundation of hair and tyrosine. Protein deficiency causes insufficient protein content in hair, causing a decrease in melanocytes, making hair unable to retain its black color and turning into gray hair.

Foods such as eggs, chicken breast, salmon and soy products are all rich in high-quality protein and are recommended to provide important ingredients for healthy hair and nail growth.

Vitamin B group

Lack of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 is one of the causes of gray hair. Therefore, increasing this group of nutrients through daily diet can improve gray hair, making hair follicles stronger.

B vitamins are abundant in foods such as meat, milk, pork liver, oat sprouts, whole grains...

Zinc, iron, copper

These minerals are all important ingredients to maintain the health of the scalp and hair follicles. Zinc and copper play a role in synthesizing melanin, iron transports oxygen throughout the body, thereby providing many nutrients to the hair follicles.

Foods rich in these minerals include shrimp, oysters, pork liver, soybeans...

Expert Gao Minmin also recommends that you establish an active lifestyle, with lots of physical activity to speed up metabolism and relieve stress. Thanks to that, blood circulates better, effectively delivering nutrients to hair follicles, supporting melanin production for black, strong hair, and improving gray hair.
