The Sun, Melanin, and Habits That Reverse Gray Hair

In today’s video, we uncover the vital connection between sun exposure, melanin production, and premature gray hair. Join us as we explore how blocking the sun can hinder your body’s ability to produce essential vitamin D and melanin, which are crucial for maintaining hair color and overall health.

Discover the key deficiencies—like copper, vitamin B12, and zinc—that can contribute to premature graying and learn how lifestyle choices affect melanin production. With insights from those in Blue Zones, we reveal how staying active and eating a balanced diet can promote healthier aging.
