Many people think that white hair is mostly kidney is not good, so they should eat more black food, such as black beans and black rice. This statement cannot be said to be wrong, but only one-sided. Because from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, white hair in different positions represents the abnormality of different internal organs.
White hair on the forehead represents spleen and stomach disorders.
The white hair on the temple represents hepatobiliary disorder.
White hair on the head represents kidney deficiency
Therefore, the increase of white hair cannot be simply said to be kidney is not good or liver failure. There are many ways to nourish and protect the liver. Here is a brief introduction:
1. We always say that anger hurts the liver, so the first thing to do is to keep a good mood.
2. Eat more green food, because "cyan enters the liver meridian" can play a nourishing role.
3. Stay up late less, because people begin to detoxify after falling asleep at night.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that deficiency of essence and blood, liver and kidney damage and viscera imbalance are the root causes of gray hair.
Hair growth comes from qi and blood. When qi and blood are vigorous, hair grows normally and thickly. Deficiency of qi and blood can make hair white, dry and even fall off. This is Chinese medicine's understanding of hair growth. People think that a person's long white hair is related to qi and blood, especially the white hair on the temples, which is considered to be a manifestation of our bad liver and gallbladder.
But with the development of medicine, in our modern medical research, there is no such statement and research to prove that this kind of white hair is mostly related to our liver function.
Of course, do you think there are any patients with poor liver function in our hospital who have white hair? That's for sure, and some people have white hair, but this doesn't mean that white hair is directly related to his poor liver, let alone that white hair is mostly caused by poor liver!
In fact, people of all ages can grow white hair, as small as a newborn baby. Because of genetic disease-albinism, babies are born without or lacking melanin.
(We also saw albino mice in college)
The color of all hair in our body, including hair, is determined by this melanin secreted by hair mother cells in hair follicles. The more melanin, the greater the density, and the darker the hair, and vice versa.
However, there are many factors that will affect the secretion of melanin by hair mother cells in our hair follicles. For example, the most common age, like our normal people after 40 years old, melanin will be reduced to varying degrees, and it is a normal physiological phenomenon to grow some white hair at this time;
There are also genetic factors mentioned just now, such as parents having white hair very early, and the probability of children having white hair is extremely high, which is completely determined by genes. Nothing but dyeing hair;
In addition, malnutrition, frequent staying up late and lack of sleep will reduce melanin secretion in our bodies, leading to long white hair.
Of course, there are also spiritual influences. For example, a small number of people in our hospital have just been diagnosed with cancer or other terminal diseases every year. For example, a patient with liver cancer in his early thirties before me, on the one hand, saw that he had cancer, and his wife who was still in confinement and his parents in their sixties obviously saw their white hair after being hospitalized for a few days because of unbearable mental stimulation and pressure.
But it is indeed caused by disease factors, such as liver disease and poor liver, which may indeed affect the secretion of melanin by our hair follicles. Because the liver is one of the most important metabolic organs in our human body, but this kind of white hair is definitely not the only symptom of poor liver, there must be other symptoms, such as liver ascites, liver palm, spider nevus and so on. Therefore, white hair cannot be used as a criterion to judge whether a person's liver function is good or not. If you want to know if your liver function is good? Take blood to check the liver function, and do a B-ultrasound or something, which is more reliable and accurate!
(1) Genetic inheritance: This mainly refers to pathological gray hair caused by genetic process. The tyrosine metabolic pathway of the body is completely or partially blocked due to gene mutation, which leads to abnormal melanin synthesis, so that gray hair is usually accompanied by particularly white skin.
(2) Malnutrition: lack of protein, vegetable oil and vitamins for a long time. Will lead to malnutrition, leading to hair from black to white.
(3) Mental stress: Long-term mental stress and great psychological pressure lead to depression, insomnia and mental health. It is also prone to white hair.
(4) Eating habits: Love to drink drinks, alcoholic drinks and sugar will lead to digestion and absorption, weaken human strength, and make the body older than the physiological age, with white hair.
Metabolites of food are treated, such as water-soluble substances, which are often excreted from urine and bile in their original form; Fat-soluble substances are easy to accumulate in the body and affect cell metabolism. They must be treated into water-soluble substances through the metabolism of liver-related enzymes and excreted with urine, otherwise both cells and the body will be poisoned.
General drugs must be metabolized and processed by the liver to produce related pharmacological effects:
1) oxidation: mainly wine and carbonated drinks. , and finally through oxidation into water and carbon dioxide.
2) Decrease: The dosage of some drugs, clinical efficacy, must be reduced by the liver first, and then the metabolites are generated for pharmacological action.
3) Hydrolysis: Many drugs have a certain existence period in the body, and then are hydrolyzed by liver-related enzymes to generate harmless substances, and then excreted.
4) Binding effect: It is the combination of drugs with glucose or related substances in the body, which then produces important pharmacological effects.
In Chinese medicine, it is generally said that liver fire is vigorous, which is generally manifested as jealousy, dry eyes, tinnitus and irritability, and then it is easy to quarrel with family members, and chickens fly and dogs jump every day.
(1) Liver and gene mutation: This obviously has nothing to do with the liver, because it is congenital.
(2) Liver and malnutrition: The liver can detoxify the body and interfere with metabolism, so even if you eat nutrients, whether you can suck them is always related to sweetness, so the liver will affect the absorption of nutrients and is indirectly related to white hair.
(3) Liver and mental state: When the liver is in a bad mood, it will affect the mental state and sleep more or less, so it will indirectly lead to hoary head.
(4) Liver and eating habits: The focus of liver oxidation is detoxification, especially drinking and carbonated drinks. Therefore, the liver is not good, and bad eating habits are more harmful to the body, and it is more prone to premature aging and premature gray hair.
There are many reasons for gray hair, not necessarily the liver. Because the color of our hair is mainly determined by the melanin in our hair. If the melanin content is sufficient, then the hair color is normal. If for some reason, the pigment is gone and missing, the hair will turn white.
We sometimes see some scenes in some TV dramas, in which the protagonist loses his family and his hair turns white overnight because of great stimulation. In this state of great pressure, this possibility does exist, because of great pressure anxiety, the pigment in hair quickly dies and disappears.
And we will have white hair when we are old, which is actually a truth. With the growth of age, all the functions of the human body are gradually aging. When melanin is not produced enough, our hair will turn white. Melanin is produced in our hair alone, so our hair will gradually turn gray and then white.
If we are in poor health, malnutrition, or long-term illness, it may also lead to white hair.
If there is really something wrong with the liver, it may not only be white hair, but also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as jaundice, loss of appetite, indigestion, fatigue, abdominal distension and so on. It is better to go to the hospital for a liver examination, find out the reason, and then treat the symptoms.
Dachuan's liver health is not directly related to white hair, but to genetic factors. If one of the parents has more white hair, then the probability of children's white hair is higher than that of ordinary people. In addition, malnutrition, mental stress and other reasons will also cause an increase in white hair. Daily needs to maintain a good state of life and relax. Hong Kong Central College said that if the increase in white hair is caused by malnutrition and excessive mental stress, it can be treated appropriately.
Thank you for your invitation.
I think Yang Guo is your first thought. Born early because of unforgettable worries.
In fact, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, white hair is deficiency of both liver and kidney.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "blood is the foundation of hair, and hair is blood." Mainly to explain the close relationship between hair and liver blood. Chinese medicine believes that the nutrition of hair comes from blood, so when young people are full of blood, their hair is thick, dark and shiny; Old people with liver-blood deficiency have deficiency of kidney-qi, and their hair turns white and falls off easily, so it is called "hair is blood".
In addition, Chinese medicine believes: "Kidney stores essence, its flowers are in hair, liver stores blood, hair is blood, essence and blood are insufficient, and black hair is not born." In other words, kidney stores vital energy, making hair shiny, hard and thick, and liver stores blood, and the normal operation, storage and regulation of blood are closely related to liver. Only when the liver function is normal can the organs and hair of the whole body be nourished by blood. The liver governs the discharge. When the liver loses drainage and qi stagnation, it can lead to poor blood circulation and blocked hair nutrition supply.
Combine your brief description of the problem and often stay up late. Staying up late is very harmful to the organs of the body, because organs have their own rules of rest time, that is, using sleep time to rest and adjust. Staying up late breaks this rule from the outside, making the organs that should only rest continue to operate, or even overload. Naturally affect organ health. The liver and kidneys are the most affected.
So-I suggest that you work and rest regularly first, and then it is better to recuperate.
There are many reasons for white hair. First, with the growth of age, people will have white hair more or less. The reason why our hair appears black is because our hair contains secreted melanin. If the melanin content is relatively sufficient,
Our hair will be black, but the content of melanin will gradually decrease with our age or pathological condition, and then there will be melanin deficiency and white hair.
With the growth of our age and the aging of the human body, the energy of synthesizing melanin in the human body is gradually decreasing. If melanin synthesis is insufficient, our hair will begin to turn white. Melanin is produced in hair alone, so our hair will turn white one by one, slowly turn gray, and finally turn white.
Of course, there are other reasons, and it is also very likely that the synthesis of melanin has been hindered to a certain extent, such as extreme anxiety or some mental stimulation, which may also affect the synthesis of melanin in our body. In addition, friends with hair follicle problems may also cause melanin synthesis to be no problem, but it cannot be transported to the hair roots, and the melanin in the hair is gradually decreasing, so there will be a black and white hair.
Of course, as Chinese medicine says, full blood can nourish our hair, which needs a lot of protein. If you often stay up late, it will really affect your qi and blood, especially if the synthesis of blood is less and the cost is more.
Therefore, it is impossible to nourish all the hair without blood, and the hair is likely to turn yellow or have a few white hairs. But in our daily life, we need to supplement our own nutrition.
In particular, the synthesis of complex acids is closely related to melanin. The synthesis of complex acids is related to many nutrients, such as vitamin E and B vitamins. Therefore, the daily diet needs a balanced nutrition, and insufficient nutrition will actually affect the quality of our hair.
Therefore, the cause of white hair is not necessarily the cause of your liver. Because the color of our hair is mainly determined by the melanin in our hair. If the melanin content is sufficient, then the color of our hair is of course normal. If for some reason, the pigment is gone or missing, the hair will of course turn white.
Sometimes, we will see some scenes in some TV series, in which the protagonist is greatly stimulated, and his family is ruined overnight and his hair turns white. In this state of great pressure, this possibility does exist, because of great pressure anxiety, the pigment in his hair quickly dies or is missing.
Of course, if we are in poor health, malnutrition, or morbid for a long time, it may also lead to white hair.
If there is really something wrong with the liver, it is probably not just white hair, but also other symptoms, such as jaundice, loss of appetite, indigestion, fatigue, abdominal distension and so on. It is better to go to the hospital for a liver examination, find out the reason, and then treat the symptoms.
But there are four words in Chinese medicine that mean: temple, the corresponding visceral reflex area is liver and gallbladder, and many gray temples indicate that their liver is not good. Yang Guo, who watches TV series, is a good example. He has been waiting for his aunt for sixteen years, and he is imagining things every day. When we met again, his temples were already gray. Of course, from a modern point of view, there is a certain relationship between white hair and liver, but this is not an inevitable relationship.
So will staying up late lead to white hair?
The main cause of long white hair is heredity. Genetic factors determine the age at which hair loses its pigment. Nowadays, many young people have some white hair even if they are young and strong (that is, we often say that they are young and bald).
Secondly, the lack of melanin may also lead to the appearance of white hair, which is mainly related to our usual nutritional intake, especially in the supplement of protein;
But at present, it is really hard to say whether staying up late will lead to white hair, but it is certain that staying up late will lead to hair loss. First of all, our own lack of sleep will definitely affect our immune system, leading to abnormal cell proliferation, and the disorder of the immune system will lead to hair loss.
Secondly, staying up late will make the scalp secrete more oil, block hair follicles and lead to hair loss. You can look at the situation of those big companies, especially young people with high IT! )
So staying up late hurts the liver and even leads to hair loss. Young people's hair is hard to grow back when it falls off. Therefore, young people should not often stay up late!
There are also genetic factors, right
Nowadays, many young people have white hair. What's going on here?
It is the number of pigment particles in hair that determines the color of hair, which is related to the development and growth of pigment cells in the papilla of hair roots. Hair turns from black to white. Generally speaking, the function of pigment cells in hair decreases. When it drops to the point where it can't produce pigment particles at all, the hair turns completely white. Normal people began to decline at the age of 35. However, some people grow a lot of gray hair in their teens or twenties, which is caused by acquired factors.
The position of white hair gives birth to China hair on the forehead: When the white hair on the forehead increases, it is probably spleen and stomach disorder. There is a cloud in Huangdi Neijing, "Women's May 7th, Yangming's pulse decayed, her face began to burn and her hair began to fall". Yangming pulse of human body, especially Yangming pulse of foot, will pass through our forehead. This meridian is the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, which basically covers the whole face. When the spleen and stomach function is weak, not only the face will change, but also the hair on the forehead will turn white. In normal life, we should pay attention to regulating the functions of the stomach and large intestine, not caring for the stomach, not only the stomach is uncomfortable, but also the face value and color are greatly reduced. Gray temples: gray temples may be hepatobiliary diseases. The temple is the part next to the ear, which is closely related to the gallbladder. We often say that "treating each other with sincerity", if something goes wrong with the gallbladder, the liver will also be affected. People with gray temples may have a strong liver and gallbladder, or a bad temper and sulk. May also be accompanied by dry mouth, bitter taste, dry tongue, sore eyes, and may also hurt the spleen and stomach. Blood is stored in the liver, and white hair appears in the sideburns. You can choose to eat red dates to invigorate the spleen and replenish qi, or you can drink millet porridge to replenish qi. This is because qi can produce blood, promote blood circulation and dissolve blood. When eating, it should be light, pay attention to soothing the liver and benefiting the gallbladder, especially pay attention to the adjustment of emotions, keep a relaxed mood, and cultivate interest in health life. White hair on the top of the head and the back of the head: In the eyes of Chinese medicine, hair is in the kidney besides blood, so there is a saying that "the kidney is blooming". Above us is the place where the second pulse of Ren Du passes. The relationship between Ren and Du meridians and kidney is the closest. White hair grows on our heads, which is mostly caused by deficiency of kidney qi. Staying up late, the heart and kidney are not connected, thinking too much at ordinary times wastes the essence and blood, and being frightened at ordinary times will hurt the kidney. The back of the head corresponds to the bladder meridian of the human body, and white hair on the back of the head indicates that there is something wrong with the bladder meridian. People like this usually can't hold their urine. The micturition function of bladder is closely related to the rise and fall of kidney qi. Friends with white hair on the back of their heads, thank you your for your hard work. In winter, you often have to face the difficult choice of going to sleep or going to the toilet. If you want to reduce white hair, you must go to bed before 1 1 at night, which will help your body store semen and make you energetic. How about staying up late? Deficiency of kidney, dark eyes and liver pain. Can you still have no point in your heart? How to deal with the prevention of white hair, we should not only tonify the kidney, but also nourish the spleen and stomach. Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. If you eat less staple foods such as whole grains, your spleen and stomach will be injured, which will indirectly hurt your liver and kidney. Usually when people are young, their hair is full of qi and blood, but when the old people are weak in qi and blood, their hair will turn white, which is inseparable from the transport and transformation function of the spleen and stomach.
