How to Stop Your Hair from Turning Gray

01 Mar

If you are growing older theres a good chance that your hair have started getting gray. Once the process of your hair turning into gray starts then there is no stopping as discovered in a recent medical report by The FASEB Journal; the FASEB is the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Click here to view the press release by FASEB.

Experts say that graying of hair is a chain reaction which starts when there is a dip in the levels of an enzyme called catalase. Deficiency of catalase enzyme means that the Hydrogen Peroxide present in the hair doesn’t break down chemically and it accumulates in the hair turning it into gray.

So when the experts find a way of retaining that enzyme catalase then there will be no gray hairs – or so we hope!
