Almonds appear to help slow graying hair. According to the September ’11 Prevention, high levels of the enzyme catalase can prevent hydrogen peroxide buildup in hair follicles, which is what turns hair gray.

Lattes could be adding lots to your calorie load and ab-blurring bellyfat. One 20-ounce Starbucks latte has about 300 calories, according to the July/August ’11 Health. Better to go with black coffee, a splash of half-and-half and sweetener—about 25 calories.

Davis, a renowned cardiologist, makes the case that wheat is the world’s most destructive and dangerous dietary ingredient.
