Why Are There More and More Gray Hairs?

For middle-aged and elderly people, having white hair on their heads is a normal phenomenon. However, many young people also have white hair, and some even have more and more, which is definitely abnormal. There are many factors that lead to the increase of white hair. We can roughly understand them, and then judge based on our own situation and actively respond. So, why is there more and more white hair? Let's take a look at the reasons below.

Firstly, let's specifically introduce what white hair is. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the growth of hair originates from our qi and blood. If qi and blood are prosperous, the hair grows normally. If qi and blood decline, the hair will turn white. From a medical perspective, white hair is caused by a lack of melanin formation in the body, resulting in fewer melanosomes produced. In our daily life, we often cause white hair growth due to stress, overuse of the brain, anxiety, insomnia, and other reasons. When the melanin particles in the scalp are insufficient or degraded, white hair will be produced. Typically, it can be divided into senile white hair and premature gray hair. Premature gray hair in young people is mainly due to certain obstacles in the synthesis of melanin in the hair, which has no significant impact on physical health. The direct cause of premature gray hair is excessive mental pressure, resulting in panic, fright, and other mental problems. Secondly, it is due to lack of nutrition, lack of daily vitamins and trace elements needed. In addition, damage to our neurons and resulting protein deficiency can also lead to white hair. Nowadays, more and more young people have white hair, especially in highly competitive positions with great pressure. Current medical science has no good treatment methods for this. We only need to release our emotions reasonably, express our inner feelings in time, and obtain a peaceful and optimistic mindset. Naturally, our white hair will improve.

What to do if you have a lot of white hair?

1. Strengthen nutrition. In daily life, nutritional balance is very important. The quality of hair needs certain nutrients to maintain because nutrients have a very important impact on the formation of hair and scalp metabolism. We need to eat more foods rich in vitamins for maintenance. We can eat more apples, which are very good foods. Apples contain very rich nutrients that are easily absorbed by the body. Moreover, the vitamin C in apples can effectively protect the blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is very effective for nutritional supplementation for white hair.

2. Regularly massage the scalp. We can regularly massage the scalp, which can effectively enhance the metabolism of the scalp. We can insist on massaging the scalp with our fingers every morning after getting up and pressing the acupoints on the head. This can effectively improve the problem of white hair and enhance blood circulation.

3. Regular combing. Regular combing can effectively prevent hair from turning white. As the saying goes, "combing one thousand times keeps hair from turning white." It means that frequent combing can effectively improve the problem of hair turning white, effectively prevent hair from turning white, and effectively improve blood circulation in the head.
