Question
What are the reasons for children growing yellow hair?
Answer
Doctor, my daughter is three years old, but she has yellow and red hair on her head. She has undergone a trace element test, and everything is normal. I would like to know what the cause is. It is usually due to a deficiency in trace elements and also related to diet.
Opinion Guidance
Hello, it is recommended to consume more foods high in zinc content, such as oysters and mackerel which have the highest zinc content in food per kilogram, with less than 100 milligrams of zinc per kilogram. Next are meat, liver, eggs, crabs, peanuts, walnuts, tea leaves, almonds, bananas, and sesame seeds with a total of 20-50 milligrams; wheat, fish, carrots, and potatoes contain 6-20 milligrams. These foods have higher zinc content and can be used as zinc supplements. Encourage your child to eat many animal-based foods.
