There are natural ways with which we can reduce the number of gray hair and sometimes completely remedy it.
The most common cause of its appearance is age. Gray hair is also associated with the deficiency of some nutrients, such as vitamins A and B complex, as well as minerals such as iron, copper and zinc. They have also been related to thyroid diseases, such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, vitiligo and early menopause.
Other factors such as genetics also influence its occurrence, especially when it occurs at an early age. It should be mentioned that the habit of smoking favors the appearance of gray hair.
Our hair is mainly composed of proteins. In these proteins is found a substance that is the cause of the color in the hair and is called melanin.
However, the body can slow the process of whitening and hair loss if it has the right nutrients. These nutrients can be absorbed directly by the hair or by taking them as nutritional supplements.
Some nutrients you should consume:
Vitamin B5: The main sources of vitamin B5 are organic foods, brewer's yeast, egg yolks, organ meats (liver and kidney), royal jelly, some fish (tuna, salmon, trout and mackerel) and whole grain cereals, lentils, beans, white beans , walnut, silver and fungi.
