Scientists have uncovered a simple way to banish grey hairs

It's an issue that plagues many of us from our mid-30s.

But the days of having to reach for the dye to banish your grey hairs could finally be a thing of the past.

Scientists from Nagoya University in Japan have uncovered a simple way to prevent greying - and it's great news if you love a salad.

The researchers found that an antioxidant called luteolin appears to stop the greying process in mice.

And while it's yet to be tested in humans, the scientists believe it could have a similar effect.

Best of all, the antioxidant can be found in several common vegetables, including celery, broccoli, carrots, onions, and peppers.

'This result was surprising,' said Professor Masashi Kato, lead author of the study.

'This finding suggests that luteolin may have a unique medicinal effect that prevents greying.'
