Grey hair at a young age is not uncommon.
Genes, stress, unhealthy food habits and certain health conditions can lead to premature grey hair.
Good nutrition can help preserve existing pigmentation and delaying overall greying of hair.
Protein is the most important nutrient as hair is almost entirely made up of protein. So consumption of good quality protein in our diet is mandatory.
Vitamins A, C and B12 are the most important nutrients for melanin production in your hair.
Include iron rich foods like spinach, beans, lentils, prunes, dates, eggs, lean meat, etc, in your diet.
Copper, needed for certain essential enzymes that are crucial for melanin production, is available in foods like walnuts, green leafy vegetables, lentils, mushrooms, etc.
Lentils are packed with Vitamin B9, which is an essential component in the production of DNA and RNA.
Black sesame seeds are high in antioxidants and stimulate production of melanin.
Following a balanced diet, increasing metabolism with a healthy exercise regime and sleeping well are contributing factors to prevent premature greying of hair.
