Experts explain that the appearance of gray strands is associated with the action of antioxidants-glutathiones. These substances play a key role in maintaining our health by protecting cells from free radical damage.

As the body ages, glutathiones stop interacting with melanin, which is responsible for hair coloring, switching to performing vital functions such as protecting against cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other serious diseases.

Thus, the opinion that early gray hair promises misfortune turns out to be incorrect. On the contrary, the presence of gray hairs often signals good health and the effective functioning of the body's defense mechanisms.

So you definitely shouldn't worry about the first silver thread that appears in a strand of hair - perhaps this particular thread will be a testament to longevity and well-being.
