Even if you go to a beautician, use good cosmetics, early wrinkles can still appear on your face and neck. And the reason for this is our habits, says nutritionist, member of the American Professional Association of Dietetics and Nutrition Lisa Afinskaya, writes Dr. Peter.
“These mistakes can not only accelerate aging, but even shorten life expectancy,” she added.
The expert listed six habits that need to be abandoned right now:
Do not use sunscreen. The sun produces UVA rays that penetrate the skin the deepest and contribute to premature aging such as age spots, wrinkles and sagging. Unprotected facial skin can be damaged in just 15 minutes of exposure to the sun – this is also proved by numerous studies by scientists.
There are processed foods. These include: fast food, sweet soda, chips, pizza, greasy burgers, sausages and sausages. With such a diet, you will definitely gain weight, plus the risk of earning various dangerous pathologies increases. And the skin, of course, will become dull and prematurely covered with wrinkles.
Don’t watch your weight. With age, extra pounds “stick” more actively to the sides, stomach, hips – this is a natural process. Therefore, the older you get, the easier it is not to notice how the weight has increased by 3.5 or even 7 kilograms.
Ignore the “products of youth”. Food can really help a person look younger and fresher and feel better. Be sure to include in the diet: nuts, fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, whole grains, legumes, clean drinking water.
smoke. Smoking accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to sagging, wrinkles, dull complexion, and other skin problems. Surely you have noticed that smokers look “some kind of tired” and even older than their years. In addition, smoking also increases the risk of getting many different diseases. Because of this habit, all body systems suffer, which cannot but affect the health and appearance of a person.
Lead a sedentary lifestyle. If you are at a normal weight, then a lack of activity can still increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and various other pathologies. Office workers suffer from back pain, neck pain, and various chronic diseases are exacerbated. Sometimes doctors even diagnose thrombosis. “To look younger and feel better, get moving! For example, start walking for at least 30 minutes a day 5 times a week. This will already bear fruit, ”concluded the nutritionist.
