*Upping your spinach intake can stop you from going bald and grey. A study by Cleveland clinic in the US found low iron levels speed up hair loss. “Cells use iron to turn food into energy and it takes a lot of energy to grow hair,” says lead author Dr. Leonid Benjamin Trost. Two separate studies published by Temple University, Philadelphia, and one in the Journal of Health Science found grey hair can be caused by a diet lacking in iron, copper and magnesium.
