Okay, I'm only 37 years old, my hair has been getting the grey here and there, now I have started getting grey hairs in places I can't mention. What does grey hair mean? Am I missing certain nutrients or dietary supplement needs? I'm healthy fit and athletic, and for the most part stress free except for the every day stressors. So question for the scientists or Doctors here, what causes this? Help!!
Yours vain individual :)
It means you should ride the moto more. There's nothing wrong with you.
I worked with a guy who had some gray here and there, and he wasn't even 30 yet.
Pretty sure it's just a genetic crap-shoot.
(Stress does seem to exasperate it though. Take a look at presidential portraits for the year going in, and the year leaving.)
Here is some background and a possible measure to take....I am not endorsing anything but the facts at the link seem to be in order

just shave it all off or wax or alase and be done...no more grey that way!
Welcome aboard [beer]
My brother was grey before he was 18...ride the moto more. [Dolph]
I started getting the stray gray hair at 15. Now at 47, I am totally silver. Most women would color it, but not me. It looks good and I have no wrinkles.
besides....when you are all geared up on the bike riding along with helmet on with mirrored or tinted visor down...who the hell can tell you are grey haired?!?!?!
Only the cool kids have got grey hairs. 8)
It is called aging.
Women dig grey haired guys, don't worry. My sex life didn't really begin until after I got some grey. And that grey in other areas, that is just an indication of potency and stamina. [clap] [clap]

Don;t the cataracts prevent that?
My hair is brown.
I've had grey hairs since I was 13. No big deal.
My daughter has had grey hair since she was nine. I think it is from her constant stressing and worrying. Just relax and it will stop. My dad didn't start having grey hair until he was 67. He started losing his hair then too. I've been losing my hair since I was in my 30s. I think that worrying increases hair loss too. ;) Though I hear it has something to do with an excess of testosterone. ;)
Bottom line... stop stesssing, live goes on. Live it. Is it going to kill you? If not, move on and live life to the fullest. It's too short to worry about the little things.
I just cracked 60 and am only salt and peppered w/no hair loss....
except for the damn beard...which made me look like Father Time...so that is gone
a friend once suggested that I have the genetics of the German Cockroach....
the ability to have consumed massive amounts of toxins for more than half my life
and be in better health than most people my age...and look the part as well
I guess I should be happy. I am the oldest of 7 and I have had people think that my first bother is the oldest of us all. (I've been out of the country (away from home) a long time so a lot of people don't know who I am.
I guess I am still in good shape, though my body keeps telling me different.
I guess I am doing well if people think I look younger than my brother. I don't think so.
Now that I think about it, I guess my brother has been worrying/stressing about things a lot longer than I have. Now that I think about it, I can see that. Even though I am a total basket case.
stress...the silent killer....
I came to a conclusion a few years back that I have outlived more problems in my life than I have ever solved
and most problems got worse when I tried to fix them...especially the ones of my own making
so now I just set my sights on outliving them
most shit in life solves itself...everything changes anyway given enough time
so embrace change...or change will embrace you.....and from behind usually
LOL.
Thank you brother. Like I said earlier on. (I'm a little drunkeled and it may have been on a different thread.)
Live is good.
Live it to the fullest.
I'm adding the following now:
Love those around you and don't forget them.
Oh yeah, and:
Don't Worry, Be Happy.
if you live your life like you are going to die anyway...
well chances are you'll take more chances
have more fun and hence fewer regrets
when the time comes
and it comes for each and every one of us
so why not live with the proverbial "courage of the damned"?
Proverbial "courage of the damned"
I'll have to look that one up. Good night. 'til next time...
good night...!
I'll leave you with this
The brave don't live forever, but the cautious don't live at all. Here's to the brave!

And usually with no reach-around. ;)
build a time machine, go back the appropriate amount of years and pick new parents :)
or you could just take RAT's advice and emmpbrace life's changes gracefully.
