Today, let's talk about two really important things to prevent premature

grang of your hair. Now, if you look at my hair at the top, okay, all this is natural.

Of course, you can see, let's see on this side, a little gray right here,

a little gray right here. There is a factor of age, and eventually everyone will have gray hair,

but the whole goal of this video is to show you how to prevent the prematureing

of this grang of your hair. So many people are getting gray hair just way too early.

It's not all genetics. Genetics do play a part, but there's also something called

epigenetics, which are things that you can do, which are above your genes. So even though you

might have genes that give you a propensity to get gray hair, there's a lot of things that you

can do about it, but there's two really important things you need to know. One is the actual pigment

in the hair that gives you the coloring, and the enzymes to allow that pigment to occur

are dependent on a trace mineral called copper. If you are deficient in copper,

you might have a tendency to get gray hair prematurely. But why are people deficient in copper?

Yes, it could be coming from your diet because you're not consuming high copper foods,

which I will talk about shortly, but there's another thing that you need to know. High levels

of cortisol as in stress, deplete copper, because cortisol uses a lot of copper enzymes.

So in other words, more stress equals more demand for copper equals more loss of copper.

And when you run out of copper and you don't have enough enzyme, that enzyme is called

tyrosinase to make this melanin to keep your natural color in your hair, things start to go gray.

So how does this apply to you? Well, stress. You probably even experienced the more stress that you

have, the more gray hair as you might find in your head. So of course, the solution is to

do whatever you can to reduce stress. But in the meantime, as you're doing that,
