Everyone hopes that aging will come more slowly, but it is not difficult to find that people of the same age group, some people look older than their peers, is this aging process still different from person to person?
That's right! After all, everyone's physique, genetics and living environment are different, and the time of aging will also be different, but the "pusher" behind it is actually a bad life and eating habits, which will accelerate the aging process!
1. Pay attention to the 7 major "ageing agents" around you
1. Alcohol
Alcohol will dehydrate the whole body, including skin, wrinkles, puffiness, dryness, etc. will find the door; it will also promote the production of free radicals in the body, accelerate the speed of cell aging; at the same time, alcohol can go directly to various organs with blood flow, thereby affecting the normal work of each organ, but also increase the probability of lesions of each organ, further accelerating the aging of the body.
2. Trans fatty acids
The source of trans fatty acids can be divided into natural and synthetic two, we need to control the main synthetic.
Because synthetic trans fatty acids will promote inflammation in the body, destroy collagen synthesis, and accelerate skin aging; and they will also increase the level of LDL cholesterol, while increasing the level of triglycerides and lipoproteins, accelerating the aging of blood vessels and hearts and lesions.
Studies have shown that for every 2% increase in the proportion of trans fats in total dietary energy, the risk of coronary heart disease increases by 25%!
Therefore, pay attention to the food ingredient list when shopping. Where it contains artificial fats, margarine, vegetable cream, creamer, cocoa butter, refined vegetable oil, shortening, artificial ghee, vegetable fat powder and other ingredients, may contain synthetic trans fatty acids, try to choose as little as possible.
3. Salt
Usually like to eat pickled food, processed food, easy to lead to excessive sodium content in the human body, more likely to appear thirsty or even dehydrated state of the body, at this time, the skin is also more likely to appear dry, aging signs.
At the same time, after too much salt intake, it will directly cause damage to the gastric mucosa and hurt the stomach; it will increase the burden on the kidneys and hurt the kidneys; it will cause an increase in blood volume, increase the impact ability of blood on the blood vessel wall, and hurt the blood vessels...
Tip: salt control is not only the daily three meals less salt, but also can not ignore the sodium in prepackaged foods (snacks, noodles, pickles, etc.), many eating non-salty food also added a lot of "invisible salt", so before buying the same look at the ingredient list, choose low salt.
4. Sugars
Many people know that sweets can make people fat, not only that, but high sugar will also produce chemical reactions with collagen in the skin, destroying skin collagen and accelerating skin aging.
In addition, consuming too much sugar will lead to increased secretion of sebaceous glands, which can easily cause clogged pores. As a result, it is very easy to have various skin problems such as acne and acne.
Therefore, like high-sugar desserts, jams, ice cream, sweet drinks, etc., try to eat as little as possible.
5. Fried food
Fried food will produce peroxidated lipids, which after entering the human body, will have a great destructive effect on vitamins in the body, and accelerate the aging of the body;
In addition, fried food is high in fat, high in calories, easy to cause overweight and obesity, and too much fat tissue in the body will affect the body's metabolism and endocrine, so that tissue and function are damaged; and the frying process is easy to produce benzopyrene, acrylamide and other carcinogens, so it is best not to eat!
6. Foods containing metals
(1) Leaded foods
Excessive intake of lead-containing food will cause neurotransmitter block, which directly destroys the function of DNA, the genetic material in nerve cells, which is not only easy to make people suffer from dementia, but also makes people's faces gray and prematurely aging.
Like puffed food is easy to find lead, this kind of food processing needs to pass through the metal pipe, in the high temperature equipment or heavy metals contained in the pipe may be vaporized, it is easy to contaminate the food. If you like to eat this kind of food, you can often eat some kelp, black fungus, seaweed, oolong tea and other foods that help the body to expel lead elements.
(2) Aluminum-containing foods
Lead in food is difficult to be excreted after entering the human body, and gradually accumulates in the human body, which will combine with a variety of proteins and enzymes, damage the brain, lead to memory loss, and even dementia; there may also be anemia, osteoporosis, etc., accelerating the aging process of the human body.
Like some egg tarts, donuts, potato chips, cookies, etc., aluminum-containing leavening agent may also be added; and aluminum pots that are used for too long may also have precipitation.
In daily life, more vitamin C can be consumed, such as kiwifruit, grapefruit, winter dates, oranges, etc., which can help speed up the metabolism of aluminum elements.
7. Exposure to the sun
UV rays affect skin aging more than any other environmental factor.
Long-wave ultraviolet rays penetrate deeply, easily affecting the activity of collagen fibroblasts under the skin, making collagen production insufficient, and the skin slowly appears loose, wrinkled, and rough; it will also accelerate the synthesis of melanin and make the skin black;
The free radicals produced by irradiation can damage the DNA of skin cells over time, and it is easy to increase the incidence of skin inflammation and even skin cancer.
The secret to making your skin age a little slower is to avoid light and sun protection. It's best to apply sunscreen all year round; if the sun is strong, it's best to wear a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. when going out.
2, 4 types of food to help the body "reduce age"
If you can pay attention to the details of diet in daily life, you can actually help delay aging:
1. Antioxidant-rich vegetables and fruits
More and more studies show that antioxidant is an important step in preventing aging, if you can eliminate too many oxidative free radicals, not only can improve the skin state from the inside out, so that the skin remains young and firm; it can also help prevent arteriosclerosis, diabetes, cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis and other aging-related diseases caused by too many free radicals.
Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, carotene, anthocyanins, lutein, lycopene, etc.
2. Deep-sea fish
Deep-sea fish, including tuna, bonito, mackerel, sardines, salmon, mackerel, etc. are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and can be eaten more daily.
Researchers at Ohio State University in the United States have found that omega-3 fatty acids can delay the aging process of the human body.
It can eliminate the bioactive substances that damage skin collagen and skin moisturizing factors, prevent wrinkles, reduce the damage caused by free radicals in the blood to the human body by about 15%, and reduce the content of interleukin-6 in the human body and reduce the level of inflammation in the human body.
3. Soy products
Soy products are rich in soy isoflavones, which have a similar structure with estrogen, which can make up for the lack of estrogen secretion in women after the age of 30, improve skin moisture and elasticity, alleviate menopausal syndrome and improve osteoporosis.
In addition, soy products are a good source of protein, containing 78% of the fat is unsaturated fatty acids, nor does it contain cholesterol, which is very suitable for obesity, arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other patients to eat.
4. Foods rich in dietary fiber
Dietary fiber produces short-chain fatty acids including butyrates during digestion, which have anti-inflammatory properties that can help improve memory and delay brain aging;
In addition, it can also effectively absorb intestinal fat, reduce blood lipids and cholesterol levels, prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; it can also prevent the absorption of glucose, assist in lowering sugar...
Therefore, 1/3 of the daily staple food can be replaced by coarse grains, such as oats, quinoa, miscellaneous beans, etc.; celery, bamboo shoots, fungus, leeks, oil wheat vegetables and other foods with high dietary fiber can also be eaten frequently.
