Combating Graying Hair

According to research, there are natural remedies to reduce or reverse graying hair:

• Avoid processed or junk foods. Eat healthy foods.
• Quit smoking. Smoking speeds up the aging process of the entire body, including your hair.
• Drink plenty of water. If you are not hydrated enough, nutrients will have a hard time reaching your hair follicles.
• Control your stress by practicing relaxation techniques such as yoga, deep breathing, meditation, etc. 
• Get enough sleep to reduce stress and keep your body, skin, and hair healthy and young.
• To ensure good blood supply to the scalp, regularly massage it with appropriate oils.
• Exercise on a daily basis to increase circulation, improve blood flow and to keep your body healthy and fit.
• Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B such as whole grain breads, cereals, bananas, dairy products and green leafy vegetables.
• Eat foods containing high amounts of copper such as turnip greens, spinach, sunflower seeds, cashews, lentils, almonds, and mushrooms.
• Iodine is another mineral that is important for maintaining hair color. Foods rich in iodine include bananas, carrots, and spinach.
• Selenium can also help prevent gray hair. Foods rich in selenium are: shellfish, tuna, salmon, corn, wheat, soybeans, walnuts, Brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds.
• Home Treatments:
• Amla or Indian gooseberry is one of the best hair treatments to prevent gray hair. Just regularly rub the amla paste into your scalp, and you will see amazing results.
• Massage your scalp with coconut oil and lemon. That is another good way to prevent gray hair.
• Tea leaves and Sage. Add two tablespoons of tea leaves and some sage into a pan of water. Let the water boil for five minutes. Let it cool and then strain it. Apply the remainder to the roots of your hair.
