,这应该是个普遍的场景 - 妈妈或祖母经常鼓励我们多吃黑芝麻,因为它有助于保持我们乌黑的 头发但这是真的还是鼓励人们多吃黑芝麻的一个营销策略?首先,让我们找出自然老化和过早老化的区别! 

On average, by the age of 50 people would have lost half the colour in their hair. Melanin is the pigment cells that give us the black pigment for our hair. When we hit our 40s, the pigment cells in our hair follicles stop producing melanin which causes our hair to turn grey, then finally white.
