Grey hair is part of growing older and a natural process – your genetics play a big part in when this occurs, which is why some people are lucky enough not to have to worry about going grey until much later in life. Even science supports this element of ageing with the maturation of silver back gorillas – these powerful primates earn their silver hairs once they are fully mature at the age of 13. But our modern lifestyles have tended to speeding up this process, such as smoking, drinking and stress. Processed foods, such as fatty or sugary products, can also speed it up.
If you eat foods which promote health and vitality though, you may see a positive impact on your body which can combat ageing. Green leafy vegetables and green algae, such as spirulina and chlorella, are great for achieving this. Salmon, almonds, avocadoes and plenty of fruit is also advised to feed your body all the nutrients and essential oils it needs to stay healthy. In addition to a better diet, and plenty of water, you should keep active – a sedentary lifestyle won’t help you achieve a more youthful appearance. Regular exercise will help you to improve your circulation and increase the removal of damaging toxins from the body. Such changes will not only help you feel more energetic and full of vitality, but you’ll also notice a great improvement to your appearance, in the form of smoother skin, a healthy glow and hopefully fewer grey hairs.
