You can’t stop aging, but you can slow it down. Watching the habits in your daily life can prevent you from looking older than your years. Which Bad Habits Make You Aging Faster?
◆ Skin care while smoking Dimbae?… Smokers, 4.5 times more wrinkles
It is foolish to care about skin care while smoking. Smoking takes away moisture from the stratum corneum of the skin and causes skin pigmentation. Wrinkles increase and the risk of melasma is high. Wrinkles on women’s skin are associated with gray hair. Smokers have up to 4.5 times more wrinkles than non-smokers (data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Above all, carcinogens in cigarettes cause lung cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer, threatening life. There are more harmful substances in unfiltered cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke from others should also be avoided.
◆ After all, exposure to ultraviolet rays… Be careful of the sun with a parasol or hat
Sun exposure is an indispensable cause of skin aging. People who are exposed to sunlight for a long time have a faster aging of the skin and an increased risk of eye diseases such as macular degeneration. The elasticity of the skin may decrease, and wrinkles and pigmentation may be deposited. If you are outdoors for a long time, it is recommended to wear a parasol, a long-brimmed hat, and sunglasses. These days, sunscreen use has become commonplace, but it is necessary to make vitamin D by exposing yourself to sunlight for about 20 minutes in the morning. Men as well as women should actively use parasols.
◆ Rapid aging of organs such as eyes and blood vessels… Check for lack of vegetable and fruit intake
In fact, the aging of the body is a bigger problem than the aging of the skin on the outside. This is because it can be life threatening and cause disability. It is meaningless to talk about skin to patients with cancer or stroke (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage). The aging of organs in the body is influenced by genetics, environment, and lifestyle, but the influence of food is also the most important. You should eat a lot of vegetables and fruits that have a lot of antioxidants that fight against ‘oxidation’ that causes aging and damage to the body. It is more efficient and safer to consume as natural food rather than supplement form.
◆ Sweetness, the temptation of sweets… Factory rough processed foods should be refrained from
When you look at the nutrition label on processed food packaging, unfamiliar ingredients catch your eye. Processed foods high in saturated fatty acids and sugars can cause chronic inflammation. Simple sugar raises blood sugar quickly, increases insulin secretion, and promotes the production of free radicals that are bad for the body. Even if you are careful with your diet, if you do not shake off the temptation of processed foods such as sweets, it will accelerate the aging of blood vessels and cause major organs to get sick.
◆ Slowing aging… Sweet potato, carrot, old pumpkin, sweet pumpkin, mango, spinach, etc.
Beta-carotene is a nutrient that delays aging. Sweet potatoes, carrots, old pumpkins, sweet pumpkins, mangoes, spinach, apricots, and citrus fruits are common. Green vegetables rich in lutein, such as spinach and kale, have the effect of slowing down the degeneration of the eyes. Tomatoes, broccoli, and kiwi, which are high in antioxidant vitamin C, are also helpful. It is good to frequently eat perilla oil, olive oil, nuts, etc., which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids that fight the aging of blood vessels.
