When it comes to how old you are, it is the dream of most people to maintain the best state of their youthIn particular, the aging strong generation group and mature age group want to look younger and younger. Doctors share a study that shows that there is a way to exercise to make you younger and increase muscle strength.
The magic power of resistance exercise: muscles and skin are younger
Plastic surgeon Dr. Zheng cites an article published in the journal Nature**, a Japanese research team found that resistance training exercises can directly increase the activity of the extracellular matrix of the dermis, which helps to maintain youthfulness. The team took 61 healthy, sedentary women to study them and observed changes in their skin condition by doing aerobic and resistance training exercises for 16 weeks.
The research team observed that the resistance exercise group not only increased muscle strength before and after the experiment, but also increased proteoglycan-related genes such as diglycan (BGN) and chondroitin sulfate synthetase in their blood, which in turn increased the thickness of the dermisAt the same time, it has also been found that doing resistance exercise can reduce the inflammatory factors present in ** and reduce the chance of inflammation in order to maintain a good state.
The key to maintaining youthful skin is the "dermal cells".
Dr. Cheng explained that the reason why we look fine and smooth when we are young has a lot to do with the structural integrity of the dermis. The dermis is composed of different types of cells, and the space between cells is composed of extracellular matrix, which can regulate the structure, function, differentiation, survival and other physiological activities of cells. For example, the often-heard collagen and elastin give ** tissue elasticity;Fibroblasts are able to produce collagen to promote wound healing and repair**.
Therefore, if the extracellular matrix of the dermis has maintained good thickness and integrity, the skin is full of moisturizing and elastic raw materials, and maintains good function, it will make the skin look moisturized, elastic and hydrated, which is also the key to maintaining youthThis is why many aesthetic treatments for young people, such as soundwaves, radio waves, phoenix, thread lifts or injections of tissue proliferatives, all act on the "dermis". Collagen production is stimulated by different methods such as ultrasound and heat energy, so that the skin can regain elasticity and fine texture.
Exercise for anti-aging!You need to select the right Type and Intensity
However, Dr. Zheng further analyzed this Japanese study and said that exercise can indeed increase the thickness of the dermis to achieve the effect of skin firmness, elasticity and other youthfulness, but it is still necessary to pay attention to the "type" and "intensity" of exercise, such as the subjects in the resistance exercise group, the exercise items are: leg curl, leg extension and flexion, arm curl, rowing machine training, shoulder press, chest press training, with 10 repetitions per set, 2 3 minutes of rest between each set of movements, and the training intensity will gradually increase by about 5 will see a more significant "rejuvenation" effect.
Therefore, Dr. Cheng said that if you want to maintain your youth through natural means, doing "resistance exercises" is a good way, and of course, people who don't have the time or exercise habits can also adjust their diet, get enough sleep, or prolong their youth through medical aesthetics.
However, the ratio of genes, skin texture, body fat and muscle composition is different for each person, and sometimes aging is not entirely caused by the destruction of the structure of the dermis.
