Sometimes, do you suddenly realize at some point that you are no longer young?
When you stay up until two or three o'clock in the morning, do you find that your energy is not as good as before?
When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, do you notice noticeable crow's feet in the corners of your eyes?
Or on the pitch, are you unable to run like a young man because of a drop in fitness?
Aging doesn't seem to happen at a uniform rate, it's more like a momentary thing.
As we age, bones, ligaments, soft tissues, and ** will gradually shrink and lose. Due to the decrease in collagen content in the dermis, the fullness of ** gradually decreases. More severely, the senescence and displacement of the fascial layer, which can lead to sagging tissues. When young, the fascial layer acts like a solid net that supports the superficial fat layer, dermis, and epidermal layers.
A study published in 2019 in the top international journal Nature Medicine found that aging does not occur at a uniform rate, and there may be a sudden physiological turning point from quantitative to qualitative change. There are these 3 points in our lives, and we may suddenly feel old in a moment!
Actually, your feelings are not wrong! Scientific research has found thatEach of us has 3 turning points in our lives in aging, which is what many people call cliff-like aging.
After the age of 30
What happens to our bodies
** — loss of elasticity and begins to develop spots
When we cross the threshold of 30 years old, the condition of the body begins to deteriorate irreversibly.
* is the most intuitive reflection. Wrinkles gradually increase, ** lose their elasticity, and spots begin to appear on the face and chest. This condition usually begins around the age of 30 and may become more pronounced afterward.
Brain – Brain function begins to decline
From the age of 30 onwards, our brain functions will also gradually age.
Studies have shown that brain function peaks at the age of 35 and then begins to decline; After the age of 45, the rate of decline accelerates significantly.
Kidneys – The kidneys are not good, and the nocturia becomes more abundant
After the age of 30, the number of cells decreases, and the kidneys begin to slowly age. The function of the kidneys will gradually deteriorate, and their ability to filter blood will decrease, and they will go to the toilet and wake up at night more frequently.
Muscles – Gradual loss of muscles
After the age of 30, the flesh on the body also begins to loosen, and the amount of muscle tissue and muscle strength tend to start to decline around the age of 30.
In addition, after the age of 30, the body's sense of balance, vision, smell, blood vessel elasticity, lung capacity, and blood sugar regulation ability will gradually begin to decline.
Aging cannot be reversed, but it can still be passedEstablish a healthy lifestyleto delay aging.
Quantitative exercise
Exercise is a major environmental factor affecting bone mass, peak bone and bone mineral density. Around the age of 20, people usually gain more than 90% of their bone mass, after which the rate of increase gradually slows down. Despite the widespread mention of exercise, according to the World Health Organization, more than a quarter of adults worldwide fail to meet the target of 20 minutes of exercise per day. In addition to this, regular exercise can also help prevent cognitive decline and dementia.
Eat plenty of fresh vegetables
Vitamin C is an important synthetic raw material for collagen, which can keep it full, smooth and elastic. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the main source of vitamin C**. In addition, vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties, which can protect against free radicals and reduce damage.
Such as:Bell peppers, cabbage, bitter gourd and other vegetables; Fresh dates, kiwi, guava, strawberries and other fruits.
On the basis of a balanced diet, we should eat more foods rich in anthocyanins, omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber. These nutrients play an important role in antioxidant, protecting blood vessels, and regulating blood sugar, respectively. Therefore, by consuming these foods wisely, you can better maintain your health.
Eat less sweets
Excessive intake of sweets not only leads to weight gain, but also accelerates aging. Sugar molecules bind to proteins or lipids, triggering a "glycosylation" reaction, a chemical process that damages the collagen and elastin fibers in the body, causing a loss of elasticity and wrinkles and sagging. Therefore, in order to maintain your health and youthfulness, you should limit your intake of sweets.
Get enough sleep
Sleep is a critical period for the body to repair itself, with processes such as cell repair and regeneration, immune system strengthening, hormonal balance, and muscle repair taking place during sleep.
