Although grey hair is often associated with ageing, it can occur prematurely due to various other risk factors. Hair that greys prematurely is usually because of hereditary or dietary factors. Stress also influences premature greying as do certain illnesses. Luckily, there are some effective ways to avoid premature greying that can be practiced at home!
Dietary supplements Certain herbs and vitamins are known to reduce stress and premature greying. The deficiency of folic acid has been linked to greying hair. In China, fo-ti also called knotweed is a popular remedy for greying hair. The lack of copper in your body can also lead to your hair losing color. Eating lentils, avocado, garlic, mushroom and soy supplements is a great way to add copper mineral to your diet.
Vitamin B complex keeps your hair healthy and stops it from greying early, especially when it is paired with other essential vitamins and minerals. Consume foods that are rich in iodine. Copper when combined with iodine is super effective. Carrots, bananas and most seafood like lobster, tuna, crab and mackerel are all great sources of iodine.
Drinking just a few ounces of wheatgrass juice for a couple of months is believed to let your hair get back its original color. Wheatgrass is well-known as a super food. It is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and proteins that will not only give you beautiful hair, but also boost your overall health.
