to these 10 foods to keep your hair from turning
grey
Caffeine
Excessive caffeine consumption can affect iron absorption. This weakens hair follicles and leads to early greying.
Alcohol
Alcohol exhausts vitamin B, zinc, and copper levels, all of which are important for maintaining hair colour and preventing greying.
Sugary foods
Excess sugar can damage collagen, which leads to weaker hair and premature greying due to nutritional imbalances.
Carbonated drinks
Loaded with sugar and chemicals, these drinks can deplete the nutrients needed to maintain hair pigmentation.
Fried foods
High in unhealthy fats, fried foods can cause inflammation, affecting melanin production responsible for hair colour.
Highly processed snacks
Chips and crackers lack nutrients and contribute to vitamin deficiencies that can lead to premature greying.
Refined carbohydrates
White bread, pasta, and rice lack nutrients and can impact blood sugar levels, which affects hair health and causes greying.
Junk food
High in unhealthy fats and low in nutrients, junk food speeds up ageing, which affects hair health and colour.
Excessive salt
Too much salt can dehydrate the body and restrict nutrient absorption, speeding up the greying process.
Canned foods
Canned foods are loaded with preservatives and may disrupt melanin production. This can accelerate the greying of hair.
