Age enriches one’s experience, and gray hair is the trace left by age. As we get older, gray hair comes silently. The appearance of gray hair is not only a sign of physical aging, but also a warning that we should take care of our bodies, especially young people.
From the theory of Chinese medicine, the hair is the remainder of the blood, and published in the kidneys, so that the kidneys are in the hair, when the heart and kidneys do not cross (insomnia, neurasthenia), or innate endowment, or excessive thought depletion of blood, or fear of injury to the kidney essence, the hair will turn white. Therefore, when we have gray hair, do not pluck, nor is it recommended to dye, because plucking out gray hair does not solve the problem. Hair dyes contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic and p-phenylenediamine, which not only damage the scalp, but also may damage the liver, kidneys and other organs, which is not good for health. We should think about the factors that trigger gray hair. When we have gray hair, we should pay attention to the following points: First, do not work too hard, life should be regular, to avoid causing immune disorders, thus giving rise to gray hair. Daily to maintain adequate sleep, proper exercise, eat more food to supplement the blood, such as black beans, fungus, He Shou Wu, etc..
Second, scientific hair washing, generally 1 to 2 times a week, the appropriate number of times to increase the summer. The water should be used with soft water containing few minerals and no stimulation to the hair, and the water temperature is close to the body temperature is more appropriate. After washing your hair, it is not good to sleep with wet hair, easy to wind and cold, resulting in early gray hair.
Third, eat more food rich in vitamin A, because vitamin A is beneficial for maintaining the normal function of epithelial tissue and structural perfection to prevent hair graying. You can always eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, spinach, baby greens, leeks, celery, apricots, etc.
Fourth, eat more protein-rich, vitamin-rich foods, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, soy, seafood, fresh vegetables and fruits.
Five, avoid direct sunlight, avoid strong sunlight or dry and windy to make the hair denatured. Ultraviolet rays can make the chemical structure in the hair break, destroy the elasticity of the hair, the hair becomes dry, and the color will become lighter.
If we can usually do these, it is possible to delay the arrival of gray hair, but also to make our youth a little longer.
