Gray hair is a natural phenomenon in the aging process.
It is recorded in the "Ancient Book of Heaven" of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" that women begin to have gray hair at the age of 42 and men at the age of 48, which is a physiological phenomenon.
However, if there is a noticeable gray hair before this age, we think that it may be a pathological condition. According to the different parts of gray hair, we can determine where there is a problem with the human organs, and then we can regulate it.

Gray hair in different positions
Reflect different health issues
1. Forehead gray hair is associated with the spleen and stomach

There is more gray hair on the forehead, which is mainly related to the spleen and stomach. There will also be some symptoms in clinical practice, such as feeling tired, stomach distention, eating unpleasantly, etc., at this time it is recommended to eat some foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach to reduce the formation of gray hair.

Black soybean milk: 30~50 grams of black rice, black beans, and black sesame seeds, and then you can add some mulberries and wolfberries to it.
Drinking porridge with mulberries, wolfberries and black rice can also help boost kidney qi.
In general, the different positions of gray hair represent a loss of function in certain organs of the body. If you want to alleviate the problem of gray hair, you should also avoid staying up late, because lack of sleep may cause neurological disorders and imbalance with endocrine levels, resulting in a decrease in melanin in hair follicles and gray hair.

Black food for black hair?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black enters the kidneys, so most black foods have the effect of tonifying the kidneys.
In the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia", it is recorded that the drugs with the effect of treating premature whitening of barbae are mainly black sesame seeds and mulberries.
1. Black sesame seeds
Black sesame seeds are rich in a variety of nutrients such as fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black sesame seeds can nourish the liver and kidneys, nourish blood and black hair, and can alleviate and improve the deficiency caused by lack of sperm and blood and kidney qi deficiency.
In addition, black sesame seeds are rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium and other nutrients, which have an auxiliary effect on hair maintenance.
2. Mulberry
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mulberry is sweet and sour, slightly cold, enters the heart, liver and kidney meridians, and is a good fruit for nourishing yin and nourishing blood, and can be used clinically for the treatment of premature white hair caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency.
Modern medicine believes that the fresh fruit of mulberry is rich in glucose, fructose, carotene, vitamins and minerals, etc., which can improve the blood supply to the skin, nourish the skin and black hair.
3. Black rice
One of the active ingredients in black rice is anthocyanins, and the other is flavonoids. Anthocyanins have antioxidant effects, and flavonoids can prevent arteriosclerosis, both of which are effective ingredients for anti-aging, so they can inhibit the production of gray hair to a certain extent.
Black rice is rich in dietary fiber, which can help reduce blood cholesterol levels and help prevent heart disease caused by coronary arteriosclerosis.
In addition, minerals such as potassium and magnesium in black rice also help control blood pressure, stabilize blood sugar and reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
4. Black beans
It is rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, especially the isoflavones it contains, which have antioxidant properties and are beneficial to human health. And from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, black enters the kidney meridian, so black beans have the effect of tonifying the kidney. The replenishment of kidney essence helps to delay aging.
