Deficiency of this “vitamin” is one of the causes of premature graying

The appearance of gray hair is a sign of aging, but its appearance at an early age surprises both sexes and raises the fears of some.

Graying may appear in some at an earlier age than others, for reasons other than


old age, which is the first and main cause of graying, as the body’s secretion of melanin, the substance responsible for giving color to hair, decreases.

With age, the cells in the hair stop forming and synthesizing melanin, thus reducing the color of the hair and becoming white.

At first, a few hairs are stained gray or white and multiply over time.

The temple area is usually covered with gray hair, as well as the beard in men, because the hair in these areas is shorter and falls out more quickly, according to the German “Bonte” website.

Experts said that vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the most common causes of premature graying of hair.

According to “Russia Today”, some recent studies have shown that nutrient deficiencies can have a significant impact on your hair, and recommend people to make sure that they consume enough vitamin B12, which contributes to helping the body form red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system.

The NHS notes that adults between the ages of 19 and 64 need about 1.5 micrograms per day of vitamin B12.

"If you eat meat, fish or dairy products, you should be able to get enough vitamin B12 from your diet," she added.

There are also external factors that can accelerate the appearance of graying, if we exclude hormonal diseases or a severe lack of nutrients, one of the causes of early graying is psychological stress, tension and stress.

Stress causes the stem cells responsible for hair color to shrink, and this explains the relationship between psychological stress and the increase in hair graying.
