A heart attack is one of the most dangerous medical emergencies in the world today. It can happen suddenly, often without warning, and may affect people of different ages, lifestyles, and backgrounds. Many people believe heart attacks only happen to older adults, but increasing rates of stress, unhealthy diets, smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure are causing more young adults to develop heart-related problems globally.

The other becomes overwhelmed, loses sleep, isolates from others, and develops constant anxiety. Although both experienced the same event, their emotional responses may lead to very different health outcomes...

Premature graying almost never signals danger. But it does have specific, checkable causes, some you inherited, some you're doing to yourself without noticing, and a handful that are worth a doctor's attention. Here's the actual breakdown. How Hair Gets Its Color Hair color comes from melanin, made by pigment cells called melanocytes that sit inside each follicle. There are two forms: eumelanin, which produces black and brown, and pheomelanin, which produces red and yellow. The ratio between the two is what gives you your specific shade. Gray isn't a new color the hair "turns into." It's what hair looks like once those mel...
