Patient's question:
At the age of one and a half, I noticed white hair. Now, at over two years old, I have grown over a dozen more. I don't know what factors or causes might be involved. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the body is chronically deficient in protein, vegetable oil, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin B6, it can also cause hair to turn from black to white.Suggestions: Foods that are dark in color (green, red, yellow, purple) contain pigments formed by the interaction of natural plant bodies with sunlight, which can replenish the body's pigments and be beneficial for maintaining hair color. Additionally, ensure adequate intake of protein, vitamins, and other nutrients. Consume more vegetable oil, less animal fat, and less white sugar. Honey or brown sugar can be used in small amounts as substitutes.
Note: Most white hair is caused by a deficiency in copper (but copper should never be supplemented excessively—food intake is sufficient). Zinc supplementation has little effect.
