Stress really can turn your hair grey, say scientists.
They have got to the root of how the 'fight or flight chemical' adrenaline causes damage that may eventually lead to a variety of conditions from the superficial, such as grey hair, to the serious, such as cancer.
The research is still at an early stage but it could one day lead to drugs that help counter some of the medical problems caused by always being under pressure.
The drugs may also have the power to stop people going prematurely grey.
While some view salt-and-pepper locks as a sign of distinction, others worry that it adds years on to their age and makes them stand out from the crowd for all the wrong reasons.
The new hope comes from U.S. researchers who worked out how the stress hormone adrenaline wreaks havoc on the body.
During brief but intense periods of stress, adrenaline is beneficial as it prepares the body to fight or flee.
But when the stress goes on and on, it can start to take its toll on the DNA at the very core of our being.
