5 behaviors that cause premature aging of the face Stop doing it before you go far.

"Aging" is a natural process that can occur in anyone, but nowadays, it is beginning to be found that young people show signs of aging in both skin and body systems faster than they should be. If anyone is facing such a problem, Let's understand a little more from the perspective of anti-aging medicine so that we can be aware of the factors that cause premature aging so that we can monitor it in a timely manner.

What is Aging?

From a general point of view, aging is a certain period of time from the time we are born on this planet, when our body has the growth of various cells. Aging is the deterioration of various cells in the body, which results in illness and eventually death. 

We can see that some people, even though they are older, still look younger, more active, and younger than people who are similar in age or younger. 

Premature aging caused byWhat exactly?

Premature aging is not only a problem of beauty, but also affects physical health. Currently, there are many studies that try to study the causes of our aging or premature degeneration of our cells. It can be summarized as follows: 

• Free radicals It is a substance that is produced by metabolism and breathing, which is a normal process of the body, and is also caused by the intake of various pollutants and toxins into the body. 
• Hypoglycemia Excessive intake of sweets containing starch and sugar. This causes the body to react with proteins. Changes occur, causing body cells to not function at full capacity. 
• Chronic inflammation This causes inflammation of blood vessels and hardening of blood vessels, which causes various vascular and heart diseases, causing chronic illnesses. 
• Hormonal deficiency As you get older, The body stops or reduces the production of certain hormones and causes cell deterioration.

5 BehaviorAtCauses premature aging

Of course, no one wants to age prematurely, so we should study the factors that cause premature aging because it not only makes us look younger, but also helps us to be healthy and live a long life with quality. There are 5 behaviors that cause premature aging as follows: 

1. Drink alcohol and smoke

If you compare your friends who drink alcohol and smoke with friends who hardly touch these things, you will see that even though they are the same age, they look at different ages. 

The danger of alcohol is that when we drink it, it interferes with the absorption of vitamins and minerals, which are antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and help prevent our cells from deteriorating. The more alcohol we drink, the more our body accumulates free radicals, making the skin dry and wrinkled. 

Cigarettes contain nicotine, which destroys skin elasticity and inhibits collagen production, making the skin look older. 

2. Eat a lot of sweets

Those who are sweet and like to eat cakes, cookies, and bubble tea should be careful because eating large amounts of whole sugar can result in cell deterioration and cause premature aging of the face. 

The reason for this is that sugar reduces the amount of Growth Hormone, which is a hormone that helps cells to be strong and youthful, and also changes the structure of collagen. This causes less elastin, so the skin lacks firmness and elasticity. Looks older than his age 

3. Drinking not enough water

"Water" is an important component of the body. We should drink enough water each day. At least 8 glasses a day, or about 2 liters per day. 

Not drinking enough water each day. It not only makes us dry and thirsty, but also dehydrates the skin. Rapid heartbeat, headaches, excretory system dysfunction, and the most important thing is that drinking less water makes the body unable to excrete waste. This causes the body to become dull and cells deteriorate. Various skin problems also follow. 

4. Don't wear sunscreen.

In sunlight, there are UVA and UVB rays that destroy moisture and skin cells, causing pigmentation, dryness, and dullness, and increasing the risk of skin cancer. 

For this reason, every time after applying the moisturizer, We should always wear sunscreen with a high SPF. This is to protect the skin from the sun and should be reapplied if you have to be exposed to the sun continuously. 

5. Sleep less

Did you know that frequent sleep deprivation can cause premature aging? Our body repairs and restores damaged cells to their health. 

Sleep deprivation has several negative effects, the first is that the body stimulates the production of the hormone cortisol more. This inhibits the activity of enzymes that help inhibit the contraction of telomeres, which are the ends of DNA strands. It protects the DNA strand from being destroyed prematurely. In addition, the body produces more free radicals, including not producing the hormone melatonin, which helps repair DNA in the body.
