Medical Video: 10 Urban Legends That Turned Out To Be TRUE
When a person grows older, many body changes occur including changes in hair color. Gray hair usually occurs when a person enters old age. The appearance of gray hair has begun when you enter the age of 30-40 years. Don't worry, this hair color change is very reasonable.
But have you ever imagined if gray hair is not only on head hair? It turns out that all the hair in your body changes to vaginal discharge. How can?
Gray hair doesn't just grow on the head
Gray hair or white hair actually occurs due to pigmentation which decreases with age. So here it is, in the body there is a name called melanocyte cells that function to deliver pigments to the hair and hairs in the body. When you experience the aging process, the melanocyte cells die one by one, so that the pigment to the hair part is reduced. And finally gray hair slowly.
Maybe all this time you only think if your head's hair will turn gray. But it turns out that all of your hair and fine hairs will change slowly. In the human body there are several parts of the body that are overgrown with hair and fine hairs. All of these parts will certainly experience a change in color, because the color that regulates is the cell of the melanocyte.
Then which body parts will be overgrown with gray hair? Pubic hair and underarm hair can also experience these discoloration. So don't be surprised if one day you see that the body part of the hair has suddenly changed color.
Even in men, chest hair and beard will also experience discoloration. Maybe you often see an old man who has a gray beard and is no longer black. This is caused by aging that he experienced.
Then can gray hair be prevented?
If this is caused by aging, then nothing can prevent it. Inevitably, you will experience this phase later. even a decrease in the amount of melanin in the body, not only causes hair color changes. but also the color of your eyes and skin will also change - if you pay close attention. But indeed the most noticeable changes are seen only in the hair section.
Currently there are many studies that are trying to "outsmart" genes so as not to make melanocyte cells damaged and dead. But until now no one has managed to do it. Maybe later there will be drugs or therapies that can slow down the appearance of gray hair.
