As we get older, we gradually begin to pay attention to wrinkles, spots, acne, and crow's feet and Sichuan lines that appear from time to time...... How should aging be defined and evaluated, do we get older a little bit, or do we suddenly get older at a certain age?
Females at both ages
Age the fastest
Recently, a research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wenzhou Medical University jointly conducted a study that tried to systematically explore the biological markers of Chinese women's aging across 5 dimensions, and established a multi-level composite clock for Chinese women, which can be used to evaluate the dynamic changes of Chinese women's aging.
A total of 113 healthy Chinese female volunteers, aged 20~66 years old, were recruited.
Among them, the changes of aging around the age of 30 are mainly manifested in the accumulation of lipids and the decrease of steroids at the metabolic level, and the changes of aging around the age of 50 are mainly manifested in the drastic changes at multiple levels such as organs, cells and molecules, including the sharp rise or fall of a variety of highly related indicators of aging.
So, from this study, women at the age of 30 and 50 can be two important turning points towards aging.
Prevents aging
It is advisable to do these 6 points well
1. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which is the synthetic raw material that makes up skin collagen, which makes the skin plump, smooth and elastic.
At the same time, we should also choose more dark vegetables and fruits, because most of the antioxidants in dark vegetables and fruits are significantly higher than those in light vegetables and fruits, and the intake of rich antioxidants can help us inhibit the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory.
2. Eat less sweets: Most sweets contain more added sugar, and eating more sugar will promote the glycation reaction of the skin, which in turn will lead to decreased skin elasticity, dull yellow skin, spots, and easy aging.
3. Don't smoke: Smoking is a recognized unhealthy lifestyle, especially the damage to the lungs should not be underestimated. Smoking also has a certain negative impact on the skin, mainly in promoting skin aging.
4. Don't stay up late: Studies have found that the skin barrier of people who stay up late is compromised compared to people who don't. Therefore, if you want to prevent aging, don't stay up late, it's best to fall asleep between 22 and 23 o'clock at night, and sleep enough for 7~8 hours.
5. Exercise more: Exercise more can keep people young, especially aerobic exercise can effectively delay aging, prevent diseases, and maintain health.
6. Sun protection: Long-term sun exposure is the main reason for accelerating skin aging, and in order to prevent skin aging, proper sun protection and avoiding long-term exposure to the sun are also essential measures.
