White hair panacea

I went on a search for an answer to why teenagers and children have white hair after realizing that this problem is increasingly prevalent in many people's life.

Stress causes your stress hormones to rise, and this in turn drains the fight/flight chemical in your brain. This is really bad but it has nothing much to do with white hair. It's just an addtional information for you, so if you want to stay sane, don't stress yourself. Everything is Fine. About the white hair dilema, I found out that a deficiency of B12 is the most common factor for white hair in younger people. B12 is not only used to keep the cells that creates the pigments alive, but it also affects your metabolic rate and system. So, if you're having more white hair, feeling tired, and possibly feeling out of breath, you should consider taking B12.

Also, B12 is also responsible for the manufacturing of new red blood cells. Anemic patients may have difficulty absorbing B12 or have a deficiency of B12. So, if you're having a problem with shortness of breath and a change in skin color (turning pale) you should also add folic acid to your B12 supplement. As it turns out, Iron is also an important component of blood, so you can add Iron into your supplementary diet as well.

From one of the latest research, I also found out that B12 also regulates the circadian sleep-wake 24 hour cycle. Mice that have been intravenously supplied with B12 are found to have a longer REM sleep cycle. This is good because REM helps your brain to store the things you have learnt into long term memory. And it is also found that a deficiency of B12 could also lead to irreversible brain damage because B12 is responsible for maintaing the myelin sheath in your nerve cells and to create better nerve connections. A study reveals that a lack of B12 could cause a schizophrenic or a dramatic change in personality.

That's some of the interesting research I have for now. Stay tuned!
