- Sugar makes you old,
- Barbecue makes you old,
- Fried food makes you old,
- Ultraviolet light ages you,
- Staying up late makes you old,
Five reasons for accelerated aging:
1: Accumulation of free radicals
Mainly from UV damage, high-sugar diet, staying up late, smoking and drinking.
Antioxidant is to fight free radicals, vitamin C, anthocyanins, coenzyme Q10, PQQ, ergothione are good antioxidant substances.
2: AGEs (Advanced glycation End products)
We often say that the yellow face woman is related to the accumulation of AGEs on the skin.
The sources of AGEs are mainly foods processed at high temperatures, such as grilling and frying. The combination with sugar and collagen causes the Maillard reaction, which turns yellow and brittle.
3: Accumulation of senescent cells
When cells stop dividing and become senescent cells, when you are staying up late, stressed, exposed to the sun, and depressed conditions, it may make you age quickly.
Our bodies have a powerful function called autophagy, which is cells that eat old and damaged cells to maintain cellular energy, so as to stay healthy and young.
The easiest way to activate autophagy is to fast.
4: Collagen loss
From the age of 20, the human body begins to gradually lose collagen;
At age 25, they enter the peak stage of loss;
At age 40, collagen levels may be half or less than those at age 18.
However, free radicals are also key factors in accelerating the degradation of collagen.
In addition to doing a good job of sun protection, we can also increase collagen levels by taking small molecules of collagen peptides.
5: Chronic inflammation
The accumulation of chronic inflammation in the body leads to oxidative stress and DNA damage, which further exacerbates cellular aging.
Therefore, intake of anthocyanin foods, supplement unsaturated fatty acids, and increase NAD+ levels are all ways to combat inflammatory aging.
You may not see any changes in a short time, but you must integrate anti-aging into your life, and make aging come more slowly through scientific management.
