Premature white hair has been a prevalent condition in recent years, particularly in people over thirty. It's crucial to comprehend the reasons for this early graying, even if some people turn to hair coloring. Does it have to do with a vitamin deficiency? To discover out, we talked to specialists.

Main Causes of White Hair at a Young Age
Vitamin deficiencies are one of the main reasons for early graying, according to dermatologist Dr. Bhavuk Dheer of Delhi's RML Hospital. The likelihood of hair becoming white can be increased by deficiency in vitamins B12, and B9 (folic acid), and D. vitamin inadequacies may have a significant role in premature graying, according to a 2019 study published in The Lancet medical journal. White hair is very frequently associated with a calcium deficit.
 
Ayurvedic Perspective
According to Ayurvedic specialist Dr. R.P. Parashar, early graying is more common in those who have an imbalance of pitta, a body element in Ayurveda. White hair can result from excessive pitta damaging hair roots. Melanin, which gives hair its color, may also be lacking in the body as a result of this illness. Dr. Parashar suggests doing Sheetali pranayama, a cooling breath technique, and ingesting Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal medicine, to regulate pitta. 

How to Address vitamin Deficiency
To address these deficiencies, dietitian Dr. Anjil Verma suggests including foods high in vitamins B12 and B9, such as fruits, leafy greens, eggs, and salmon fish. Consume dairy products like milk and yogurt to raise your vitamin D levels. It is crucial to initially be tested for vitamin B12 and vitamin D if you suspect a deficit. Taking supplements under a doctor's supervision might help restore appropriate levels if the findings indicate a shortfall.
 
Adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle can help manage premature graying instead of worrying about it.
