CAUSES OF GREY HAIR

Today the number of women with premature graying is on the rise. Today even young girls have grey hair. In spite of the education and plethora of information about nutrition, diet and fitness many young women are suffering from deficiencies and anemia.

Let us see the factors that contribute towards this change.

Factors For Premature Greying

Long Hour Work
Today people work for 10 -12 hours every day. This plays havoc with their rhythm cycle. These long hours of work disturbs their eating, sleeping and relaxation.

Skipping Meals
Women tend to skip breakfast because they don't have time for it. Today conventional lunches have been taken over by colas, fast food and fried food. Carrying paratha and vegetable for lunch is a passe.

No Regular Eating Time
People are so busy that they eat their meals in a hurry and that too it lot of multitasking. They will eat while reading a book or talking to somebody on the phone. While they are eating their mind is not on the food that they are eating. They don't care to masticate the food properly and this causes indigestion.

Nutrient Deficiency
Because of the fast paced lifestyle people tend to buy their lunch from the cafeteria rather than taking home cooked meal. They buy fast food from the cafeteria. They don't realize that homemade food like dal, sabzi and roti is far more nutritious than the canteen food.

Excessive Caffeine
The stress that people face at their work place makes them drink excessive coffee and tea. They don't have time to drink water. So their water decreases drastically. Their decreased water gives way to wide range health problems

Stress
People are always living a rushed life. They are constantly under stress to meet the deadlines at office and complete home chores at home. This rushed life style causes excessive stress and strain that disrupts the entire body system.

Relationships

• Maintaining relationships can take a toll on a person's health and indirectly on the hair.
• A person gets emotionally drained and exhausted in order to keep and maintain healthy relations with the in-laws, friends, colleagues and husband.

It is no wonder that modern generation is aging faster than the earlier generations. Stress, nutrient deficient diet, stress and neglect are some of the factors that contribute towards the premature graying of hair.
