It is common for hair to turn gray due to changing lifestyles, but do you know that hair turns gray due to a deficiency of Vitamin B12, protein, and zinc? Come, let us know in detail about the reasons for graying of hair -

Vitamin B12 deficiency

  • One of the most common reasons for premature graying of hair is Vitamin B12 deficiency. This vitamin plays an important role in the body.
  • It gives energy to the body, and at the same time, it also contributes to healthy hair growth and hair color.
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with a condition called pernicious anemia, which occurs when the body is unable to absorb enough of this vitamin.
  • The body needs vitamin B12 for healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the cells of the body, including hair cells. Deficiency of this vitamin can weaken hair cells and affect melanin production, which leads to graying of hair.
  • You can get enough vitamin B12 by eating foods like meatdairy products, and fortified cereals.

Protein (keratin) deficiency

  • Keratin treatments are popular for straightening and smoothing hair, but intrinsic keratin can also impact the overall health of the hair.
  • Keratin is a type of protein, which is found on the surface cells of the body. When the keratin protein breaks down in the hair follicles, it can cause hair loss and color changes. There may be other problems as well, due to which hair turns grey.
  • Even though keratin cannot be consumed, consuming enough protein in your diet can help the body extract amino acids and convert them into keratin.

If you have a problem with dandruff, then use Ayurvedic shampoo for dandruff, which is available online at the best offer.

Zinc deficiency

  • Zinc is a mineral that affects the entire hair growth process.
  • When the amount of zinc in the diet is low, hair growth slows down, and hair loss, thinning, and change in color starts.
  • Zinc deficiency can spoil the health of the hair. Beans, whole grains, and red meat contain adequate amounts of zinc.

Don't forget to use a cleanser that improves hair growth and buy it immediately.

Iron deficiency

  • Iron deficiency is not unusual, but its deficiency can cause premature graying of hair.
  • Iron is a mineral. Which helps in the production of hemoglobin in blood cells. Hemoglobin works to deliver oxygen to the entire body.
  • Adequate amounts of iron can be taken by consuming meat, pulses, and dark leafy vegetables.

When it comes to hair strength, you must use India's number 1 anti-hair fall shampoo.

Calcium deficiency

  • Apart from being an important mineral for bones, calcium is also an important part of hair.
  • In a study conducted on premature graying of hair, researchers believed that low calcium and iron levels in people under 30 years of age could cause graying of hair.
  • In such a situation, the process of graying hair can be reversed by consuming calcium.
  • Dairy products like milk and curd are the main sources of this mineral. Calcium can also be found in dark-colored leafy greens, grains, and fish.
