Question
A two-year-old child has grown several white hairs. I would like to know the possible causes and treatment methods.
Answer
The development of white hair in infants and toddlers may be due to a deficiency in certain nutrients, including protein, vegetable oils, vitamins B1, B2, B6, and copper. A deficiency in these nutrients can lead to hair turning white. Additionally, long-term deficiency in these nutrients may also cause health issues. To prevent and improve this condition, it is suggested to consume foods rich in these nutrients, such as dark vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. Moreover, attention should be paid to maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding excessive intake of animal fats and sugar. At the same time, honey or brown sugar can be taken in moderation as a substitute for white sugar.
