Hair can turn grey long before old age.
Let's figure out what causes this phenomenon and whether it's worth worrying about.
Why does hair turn grey?
There are several objective reasons why hair loses its color before old age.
Experts name the following factors:
- genetics;
- lack of essential vitamins;
- disease;
- bad habits.
Thus, if you have people in your family who started going grey at 30-40 years old, then this problem may affect you too.
In turn, gray hair can also indicate a lack of vitamins D and B12. In such cases, doctors recommend including seaweed and fish, buckwheat porridge, greens, nuts, etc. in the diet.
Serious disorders in the body also often become the cause of graying. These can be pernicious anemia, progeria, hyperthyroidism, etc.
Frequent alcohol consumption and smoking also put a person at risk of early graying, as they reduce the body's immunity. And the body, in turn, cannot cope with the production of melatonin, which is responsible for hair color.
