TO DELAY AGING, GROW AND EAT RAW EDIBLE LEAVES


Do you know that having so much grey hairs especially before 80 years old is likely indication of poor health?

Arrgghhh! Who  is trying to slap me? Please let me explain  as simply as possible.

Greying of hair is due to lower levels of Melanin in the body. Melanin gives colouration not only to the hair but the skin as well as eyes.


Hence you will notice that when people start having more and more grey hairs in their latter years, they will also likely have wrinkles (if not covered by makeup) and they will also need spectacles or eye- glasses to read  or see clearly. 

There may be people who have early onset of greying hairs in their 20s and 30s  due to genetic factors - that is matter for discussion another time.

But decreasing levels of Melanin in the body is usually as a result of nutrition -  deficiencies in such nutrients as Vitamins, Copper and Iron. You can find out the foods that contain these nutrients. I will just focus now on the ones containing iron - most if not all edible leaves contain iron.


By increasing your intake of these especially if you are certain they are organic- grown, without chemicals, you can naturally boost  the Melanin levels in your body.


Pluck these edible leaves and chew raw reguarly -  if not everyday, every other day. Apart from boosting Melanin levels, they also remove toxins from the body -they soak up dangerous compounds that may have got into the body through over-processed foods, drinks, drugs or pollutants in the environment which can cause diseases.


Even if those dangerous compounds don't actually cause diseases,  without such leaves-protection in your system, those toxins stress the body so much and speed up aging.

But the pigments in those plants are powerful anti-oxidants  that can reduce greying of hair, help the skin to become smoother - delaying wrinkles and also help in boosting your eye-health.

When I started learning about harmful effects of chemicals on the body some years ago, since I was still using relaxer to retouch my hair, I decided to  soak leaves in water.  I often used the juice of the leaves I soaked to wash my hair after relaxing the hair.

I also started chewing the leaves periodically  for hormonal balance such as reducing menstrual pains
Then I discovered that my eye vision started becoming clearer.

Not long after, grey hairs could hardly be found on my head. There's also no need for me to apply foundation on my face before rubbing even loose powder.

So these got me to start reading more about it from time to time. Know this: what people accept as normal signs of aging instead of addressing may predispose the body to weaknesses.

So, attempting to get rid of grey hair naturally through nutrition particularly eating raw edible leaves  is not vanity but a move to safeguard/prolong good health.
