Scientists working at Nagoya University, which is located in Japan, have made an amazing discovery.
It turns out that there is a substance that can slow down the process of hair graying. It is the antioxidant luteolin.
So far, studies have only been conducted on mice.
As a result of the experiments, it was possible to establish that, thanks to the introduction of luteolin, the rodents were able to retain the natural black color of their fur.
Although the study involved only rodents, scientists are confident that the process of graying hair in mice and humans is identical.
Where to find this antioxidant compound?
Luteolin is present in celery, broccoli, carrots, onions and bell peppers.
Therefore, if you want to get acquainted with gray hair as late as possible, include the listed products in your menu.
Please note: it is not able to solve the problem of slow hair growth or hair loss, since it affects only the pigmentation of the hairs.
In addition, to prevent the appearance of gray hair, you should eat foods that contain B vitamins - their deficiency leads to the active appearance of gray hairs.
They can be found in nuts, buckwheat, beans, asparagus, potatoes, any type of cabbage and green vegetables.
B vitamins are also found in fermented milk products, eggs and fish, offal and seafood.
