German nutritionist Andreas Daxenberger says early gray hair can be fought through healthy nutrition through foods that extend the life of melanocytes, whose function is to produce melanin responsible for hair dye, whose production declines with age and is associated with hormones, Life.
To boost melanin production, Daxenberger recommended eating protein-rich foods such as eggs and fish, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits rich in important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc and calcium.
Copper-rich foods stimulate melanin production. Its main sources are bananas, nuts, cocoa and pulses.
In addition to proper nutrition, gray hair can also be combated by scalp massage regularly. Blood flow to the scalp contributes to the production of melanin on the one hand and better nourishing hair roots on the other.
It is also important to quit smoking and stay away from severe care products, which attack hair and accelerate early shave.
