Over the years, our body undergoes many changes - it wears out, ages and fades. But the root of evil must be sought much deeper, namely in the natural processes within the body.
Below we look at 10 bad habits of women who bring old age and wear out our body.
10. The use of scrubs
Trusting women believe in bright advertising and regularly clean their skin with an abrasive - scrub. Abuse of it more than 1 time per week leads to damage to the upper layer of the skin - the epidermis, which leads to a violation of its protective and secretory function. As a result, the skin produces excess fat, tightens, and tan lays unevenly. If on it there were the smallest injuries or rashes, then such "scratching" leads to the spread of infection, the emergence of new foci. The same applies to fruit peels, the abuse of which can cause a severe chemical burn, and if it is not properly healed, leave a scar. For care, choose a gentle scrub with moderate or weak abrasion. It should gently exfoliate the stratum corneum, and not injure healthy tissue.
9. Ignoring sports
As they age, many women give up sports, leaning on various massages, lymphatic drainage and plasmolifting. All these procedures are certainly effective, but they act locally on certain layers of tissue, while sports can strengthen muscles and ligaments, joints, the musculoskeletal system, as well as improve blood circulation in many internal systems (including the pelvic region, which is important with menopause). Of course, at the age of 40, health is not that at 20, there may be pinching, clicks, accumulation of salts and painful sensations, especially if you have ignored physical education all your life. However, it is not at all necessary to ride on steppes with heavy dumbbells and suffocate from cardio loads. You can maintain a slim and athletic figure with the help of Pilates and yoga - calm practices that allow you to stretch and strengthen muscles, rejuvenate the body. Long walks, dances, beach games and water aerobics are also effective.
8. Lack of sleep
Somnologists are tired of convincing an ordinary person that at least 7 hours of full sleep is needed to restore the body. Lack of sleep leads to a loss of energy, against which we begin an unhealthy compensation in the form of morning coffee and sweet high-calorie foods. Otherwise, we’ll simply collapse without strength. During nighttime sleep, melatonin is produced - a substance that prevents aging. Without getting enough sleep, we block its synthesis, and even get broken, stiff muscles and a sad appearance: pale skin, circles under the eyes, lack of gleam in the eyes. Excess weight and withered skin are also the result of a violation of biorhythms, since the systems do not have time to rest and regenerate.
7. Few fruits and vegetables
Adults increasingly prefer heavy side dishes and meat, soups with strong broths, sandwiches, pastries, and quick bites. Either because of a lack of time and finances, or because of modest gastronomic qualities, plant foods are fading into the background. According to some reports, up to 80% of the adult population lacks dietary fiber, vegetable fats and proteins, which can give fruits, berries, vegetables and nuts. But the antioxidants in their composition remove free radicals, rejuvenate internal cells, including the tissue of our skin.
6. Not drinking green tea
Japanese women for a long time retain an elegant figure and a puppet young face precisely because there is a tea culture in the country. They brew natural green leaves and flowers of plants, fruit slices as opposed to modern flavored teas with low-grade grassy dust. Natural green tea includes kakhetins, tannins, caffeine and antioxidants, which allows you to cleanse your body of toxins, radicals, salts of heavy metals and toxins. Regular consumption of a natural drink provides loss of excess weight, a charge of energy and vitality, as well as internal rejuvenation.
5. A lot of sugar
The abuse of industrial sugar and confectionery sweets with it leads to a set of excess body weight, deterioration of the teeth and withering of the skin. Outwardly, this can be manifested by a couple of extra years. Against the background of sugar consumption, glycation develops - glucose combines with collagen in the skin and neutralizes it, which leads to swelling, circles under the eyes, an increase in the number of wrinkles, enlargement of pores, and loss of elasticity. An increase in blood sugar is not only a risk of diabetes, but also the inflammatory processes of dermatitis and acne against a background of aging dry skin.
4. Little water
But fluid intake, on the contrary, needs to be increased. We are talking about healthy water - each woman needs to drink about 5 glasses daily. Dehydration slows down the regeneration and metabolism, renewal of cells and their replacement with younger ones, as a result of which a person looks older. Also, a lack of water leads to dry skin, loss of its turgor, as a result of which it sags and age wrinkles appear. Put a carafe of water in a conspicuous place and every time you pass by, drink a glass. This will clear the body of toxins and poisons, restore the natural glow and tone of the epidermis.
3. Alcohol abuse
It is no secret that alcohols dry cells, and this leads to a halt in regeneration and premature aging. They also reduce the level of antioxidants that provide tissue metabolism and the fight against free radicals. As a result, collagen synthesis slows down, and the skin reacts with the appearance of wrinkles, wrinkles, severe swelling. First of all, pale and tired skin begins to show age with signs of lack of tone. Against the background of drinking alcohol, epidermal diseases also occur: rosacea, acne, acne, dermatitis, etc.
2. Lots of coffee
This drink is better than alcohol, but also has an effect on blood vessels and skin condition. Scientists, however, are arguing, lengthening or shortening the caffeine, however, the life of our cells. A useful dose is 1 small mug of not strong natural coffee without flavor enhancers and fragrances (no 3 in 1). And abuse leads to premature aging, dehydration, worsening of the skin and hair, the appearance of sagging and wrinkles. And the enamel wears out, acquires an ugly yellow hue.
1. Excessive consumption of fried foods
Industrial vegetable oil, fried meat and other products with a “crust” lead to slagging of the body, increase the level of bad cholesterol, which complicates the flow of blood to the tissues. Junk food leads to impaired digestion and absorption, a slowdown in metabolism, which is reflected in the appearance, accelerates aging. In addition, the passion for fried foods distracts a person from healthy foods like vegetables and fruits, whole grains, milk, which saturate the body with dietary fiber, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Convenience foods and fried foods do not contain the antioxidants necessary for the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Remember that expensive treatments and “rejuvenating” cosmetics solve the problem only visually. It is worth stopping their use - and old age will return again in its sad "colors." Preventing premature aging of the skin, musculoskeletal system, skeleton and muscles will allow only work on your lifestyle, diet, diet and positive thinking.
