As we start aging we do harm to our bodies by not eating properly, not exercising, drinking too many alcoholic drinks, staying up late…and the list goes on. There are some things that we do that we think won’t have any long-term effects, but they do. Our bodies have sneaky ways of showing us that there’s something wrong, yet, we might not always pay close attention. As women, we spend more time and money on clothes and makeup, but instead of covering those gray hairs, you may want to visit your doctor.
