Anti-aging secret? This antioxidant can stop hair graying, discover scientists

The secret to stopping hair graying and achieving a youthful look could be hidden in a common antioxidant found in vegetables such as carrot, celery, and broccoli. Researchers from Nagoya University discovered that luteolin could prevent your hair from turning gray by preserving endothelin expression and melanocyte activity. Having a healthy and balanced diet can take care of several aspects of well-being and that includes preventing premature hair graying.

Hair graying is a common sign of aging as the pigment cells in hair follicles gradually die as people turn older. However, premature graying of hair can also be triggered due to reasons like stress, smoking, UV radiation, certain drugs or genetic factors. Whatever maybe the reason, the right nutrients can at times, slow down this process.
