5 fruits to help limit premature gray hair after the age of 35

NGUYỄN LY |

After the age of 35, premature gray hair becomes more common due to the decline of melanin, the pigment that determines hair color.

Nutrition, especially supplementing the right type of fruit rich in antioxidants and minerals, can help slow down this process.

According to Dr. Joanna McMillan - a nutritionist in Australia: "Fruits rich in vitamin C, copper and polyphenols can help protect hair follicles, reduce oxidative stress, a factor that contributes to premature gray hair". Here are 5 types of fruit recommended by many experts.

Viet kumquat

Blueberries contain high levels of anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect pigment cells. Supplementing blueberries a few times a week helps improve hair health from within.

Avocado

Avocado provides vitamin E and good fats, which help reduce dry, brittle hair. Dr. McMillan says that vitamin E plays a special role in fighting inflammation and increasing circulation to the scalp.

Oranges and citrus fruits

As a natural source of vitamin C, oranges help the body absorb iron better, a mineral that is important for healthy hair growth. Vitamin C also promotes collagen production, supporting strong hair follicles.

Red gravel

Red grapes contain resveratrol, an antioxidant that has been shown to protect cells, including melanin-producing cells. Eating grapes regularly can help limit the condition of rapid gray hair.

Papaya

Papaya is rich in vitamin A and the enzyme papain, which help clean the scalp, limit grease and nourish hair follicles. American nutritionist Marisa Moore believes that vitamin A supports a more regular hair growth cycle.

Although it is not possible to "completely prevent" gray hair, which is a natural process of the body, adding these fruits to the daily menu can help strengthen hair, reduce the risk of premature graying and improve appearance after the age of 35.
