**Pristina, Kosovo –** A doctor has linked copper deficiency to premature graying and fatigue. Dr. Asif Ahmed claims that low copper levels can impact hair color, skin health, energy, and metabolism. While acknowledging that copper deficiency is rare, he reports seeing an increase in cases without explanation. He cautions against self-medicating with copper supplements, stressing the importance of testing copper levels before supplementation to avoid potential overload. The National Health Service recommends 1.2 milligrams of copper daily for adults aged 19-64, obtainable through a balanced diet rich in sources like nuts. Dr. Ahmed personally found that a daily spoonful of cocoa powder, a good source of copper, helped reverse his own graying after discovering his low copper levels. He suggests adding it to yogurt or making cocoa hot chocolate.
