Why Do We Get Grey Hair

As we age it is natural to lose melanin in the hair. Usually the risk of going grey increases 10 to 20 percent every decade after the age of 30. On aging, the melanin-producing cells in the hair shaft, start to die. So, after that, the rest of the hair growth will be without color hence turning them grey.

Plan your Feast

If you know you can’t avoid those sweets someone gave you as Diwali compliments, do your best to negate the damage. For the entire Diwali week, start your day with detox water such as lime water, cinnamon water or green tea and eat light meals at regular intervals during the day. End your day with a light meal. Doing this will keep you in good shape even if you’re letting yourself go a little bit.

Get up and run

Diwali days are busy days for all of us but if you want to make the most of the exceptional food items coming your way, you’ve got to up your game at the gym. Even if you’re a regular at exercise, you should consider taking it up a notch this week to compensate for all the indulgence. Get up a half hour early and go for a run or do yoga or any exercise that will get you going through the day. You’ll thank yourself for this later!

DIY Sweets

Yes, it is possible and you can make your own sweets at home that taste as good. Here is a little hint, you can make the most delectable and healthy desserts with peanut butter, almond, oats, honey and all kinds of nuts among many other options. Not only will this let you cut down calories enormously, but more importantly it will save you from thousands of inedible chemicals that are unfortunately becoming a part of sweet manufacturing. Total win-win situation.
