Sihaiwang: with the increasing pressure of competition in modern society, people's work rhythm is also accelerating. The survey found that in recent years, the trend of young people with white hair is increasingly obvious. According to incomplete statistics, the number of people with hair loss and white hair has increased by about 30% compared with the previous years, and many people are troubled by hair turning white. So, what is the reason that makes hair white? Scientific research shows that there are many factors that cause hair to turn white, and everyone's situation is different. Only by finding out the reasons that cause their hair to turn white, can we fundamentally improve the situation of hair turning white.
Genetic or disease factors
The appearance of white hair is related to heredity. People who have grey or white hair before they are old often have a family history, which is autosomal dominant inheritance, and also can be seen in some syndromes (such as early-aged syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, etc.). In addition, suffering from some more serious diseases, such as pernicious anemia, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, typhoid, syphilis and other white hair can also appear.
For this kind of people, you can improve hair whitening by sticking to the method of massaging the scalp. The specific method is: before going to bed and after getting up in the morning, insert your hands and fingers into your hair, and rub your scalp from the forehead to the back of your head for 2-4 minutes each time. It can improve the nutrition of the scalp, regulate the secretion of sebum, promote the blood circulation of the scalp, and enhance the local metabolism.
Lack of trace elements such as copper and iron
Research shows that lack of protein and high malnutrition is one of the reasons for early white hair, especially the lack of trace elements such as copper, cobalt and iron in diet can also lead to white hair. In recent years, scientists have found that the pigment particles in hair contain a mixture of copper and iron. When the content of nickel in hair increases, it will turn gray white. Therefore, trace elements are closely related to the color of hair.
In order to prevent less white head, we should pay attention to eat more iron and copper containing food. Foods with more iron include animal liver, eggs, black fungus, kelp, soybean, sesame paste, etc.; foods with more copper include animal liver, kidney, shrimp and crab, nuts, dried apricot, etc.
Lack of B vitamins
Medical research has found that the lack of vitamin BL, vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 is also an important cause of leukorrhea. We should take in more foods rich in B vitamins, such as cereals, beans, animal hearts, livers and kidneys, milk, eggs and green vegetables. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the hair is blood, the kidney is the main bone, and its bloom is in the hair. It is advocated to eat more blood nourishing and kidney nourishing food to moisten the hair with black hair.
High pressure in work or life
Modern people have a lot of pressure in their work and life. They are easy to be nervous, depressed, lack of sleep and over thinking for a long time, which leads to the deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of Qi and blood, and early gray hair.
Therefore, we should learn to reduce pressure for ourselves, face life with an optimistic attitude every day, and eliminate mental fatigue through simple exercises such as deep breathing, walking and relaxation gymnastics; soak feet with warm water after work every day, which has obvious effect on reducing pressure.
In addition, we should pay attention to maintain the nutrition balance, eat less spicy, greasy, fried and other food; avoid eating too much sugar, oil, salt and so on.
