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.
