When it comes to aging, we often have wrinkles, sagging, spots and other pictures in our minds, and these changes are not only superficial problems, but also a reflection of the gradual decline of the body's internal functions.
Aging is a sensitive and important topic for women as it affects their appearance, health, and psychological state. However, some women start to experience noticeable signs of aging at a young age, why exactly?
For those young girls in their twenties and thirties, with firmer, youthful skin, it's hard to imagine that the threat of aging is looming.
Surprisingly, however, women begin to embark on the journey of aging after the age of 25, shattering the illusion of eternal youth. Perhaps in the public's impression, 45 years old is the threshold for women's aging, but in fact, youth disappears much earlier than we think.
Medical studies have shown that from the age of 25, the nutrients in ** begin to be lost at a rate that is imperceptible to the naked eye. The rate of churn accelerates over time. By the age of 35, many women will notice that their complexion begins to darken and their hair falls out more and more. In addition to the obvious signs of aging, such as the appearance of crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, the deepening of nasolabial folds, the growth of gray hair, and the sagging of the breasts and buttocks, there are also some less obvious physical changes that also indicate the onset of aging. These changes may not be as intuitive as wrinkles and gray hair, but they are silently eroding women's youth.
1. Long-term constipation
Long-term constipation gradually reduces the frequency of bowel movements, drying up like a trickle, and each bowel movement is as if crossing the desert, laborious and helpless. The reason behind this is that the peristalsis function of the intestines weakens with age, just like the autumn wind, gentle but cool. As a result, there is less water and fiber in the intestines, making the stool dry and difficult to pass.
At the same time, changes in hormone levels in women after menopause, especially a decrease in estrogen levels, also have a negative impact on intestinal peristalsis like a cold snap. If you don't, congratulations on your youth.
2. Knee pain
As women grow older, their knees often sing sad songs of pain. In fact, scientific studies have found that women have ten times as many joint degeneration rates as men.
For women, the first signs of degenerative arthritis begin to appear at the age of 30, as if it were a sign of aging. The knees, the pillars of the human body, support our bodies and help us move forward.
Once the bones age, the knees moan in pain. Especially when you go through the spring and autumn of 50 years old, until the end of menopause, the pain in your knees is like falling leaves in autumn, and it gradually becomes obvious.
3. Leg muscles become relaxed
As the years go by, our bodies are like withering flowers, and the mass and strength of our muscles are quietly diminished.
This not only makes our leg muscles become loose and weak, like a rubber band that has lost its elasticity, but also silently threatens our health. For women, this is undoubtedly a double whammy of beauty and self-confidence.
However, if you still maintain tight leg muscles, then I would like to congratulate you, which means that your body is still youthful and energetic, and your muscle mass and strength are in a relatively good state.
Fourth, the menstrual flow is getting less and less
As the years go by, women gradually enter the stage of aging. At this time, their bodies are like butterflies undergoing a metamorphosis, experiencing various subtle changes. Among them, the change in menstruation is particularly striking. It is not only a physiological phenomenon unique to women, but also the mark left by time.
But as I grew older, the rhythm of this mystery began to change. Menstrual flow is gradually decreasing, like the leaves of a tree slowly withering in autumn, indicating that the seasons of life are changing.
It's not because of any disease they have, it's a natural thing. The gradual decline of ovarian function, the decrease in ovulation, and the decline in estrogen levels are all like a melodious symphony, slowly playing the melody of aging.
1. Maintain a positive and optimistic attitude
Like the sun, it can dispel the haze in life and delay the pace of aging. Surveys show that optimists are fit, while pessimists tend to appear weak. This suggests that the health of mind is closely linked to the rate at which the human body ages. In daily life, people who are irritable and have great mood swings have poor physical fitness, and diseases are more likely to come to the door.
And those who have a sunny attitude and face the pressure of life positively are not only younger than their actual age, but also more able to taste the beauty of life. Therefore, in order to resist aging, we should maintain an optimistic attitude, release stress reasonably, and let life be full of sunshine.
2. Regular work and rest
In today's fast-paced life, many people are suffering from insomnia. Especially for people who stay up late for a long time, they lose their luster, dark circles appear, and the signs of aging become more and more obvious.
If a female friend can ensure a good quality of sleep, not only will the skin be smooth and elastic, but also give people a feeling of vitality.
Organs in the human body repair during deep sleep at night, and poor sleep quality over a long period of time can damage health and make people appear more aging among their peers.
3. Sunscreen
Many people only pay attention to sun protection in the summer, but UV rays are present in all seasons and can damage** and accelerate aging. Therefore, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we should do a good job of sun protection, protect the vitality of the world, and let the youth permanent.
4. Exercise
The reason why the goddesses of frozen age in the entertainment industry are young is inseparable from daily exercise and maintenance. As we age, our metabolism slows down, and our body functions become passive. At this time, exercise can promote the body to return to a regular state and rejuvenate itself.
5. Hair care
As we age, hair growth slows down, and hair loss and gray hair become more and more serious. Thick black hair symbolizes a lot of blood and energy, and it can also make people look more energetic. Therefore, we should pay attention to hair care, shampoo with warm water, and maintain it regularly, so that youth starts from the "head".
6. Diet
Seven or eight minutes per meal is appropriate. Restricting calorie intake can prolong life, while overeating can lead to obesity and early death. Experts recommend that we eat seven or eight full meals to facilitate digestion and absorption and maintain a healthy weight. In addition, a low-calorie, high-protein, low-sugar, low-fat diet stimulates the release of growth hormone and boosts the spirit. Maintaining a proper hunger pang is more beneficial for slowing down aging.
Apples
This fruit has been loved since ancient times, not only because of the popular proverb "An apple a day, the doctor stays away from me", but also because of its incomparable taste. It is rich in pectin, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B group, calcium, iron, phosphorus, etc., which together build its all-round nourishment for the human body.
The pectin and rich vitamins in apples can not only effectively remove those free radicals that are harmful to the human body, keep them delicate and energetic, but also control weight and prevent obesity. You know, a healthy body is also one of the secrets of youth.
Grapefruit
It is a standout among citrus fruits. Yuzu, tangerine, and orange are all members of the citrus family, but the best fit for most people is undoubtedly yuzu. Grapefruit is a low glycemic index food that is very low in sugar but rich in vitamin C.
This little fruit contains vitamin C, which helps our body fight off those "watery" free radicals. The biggest advantage of grapefruit over other fruits is its rind, which is like a glass can that locks in vitamins for a long time. If your ** state has declined, you may wish to eat some grapefruit in moderation, which can not only satisfy your taste buds, but also maintain your **health and vitality.
Kiwi
This healthy and nutritious fruit is also loved by people. For people with chronic diseases such as diabetics, kiwifruit is also a food with a low glycemic index. Although it is not the king of vitamin C, its nutritional value should not be underestimated.
In epidemiological studies, it has been found that moderate consumption of kiwifruit has a positive effect on the prevention of cancer. Kiwifruit is rich in pectin and insoluble dietary fiber, which can also moisten the intestines, beautify the skin, and improve immunity.
Grapes
This small, delicate fruit is also rich in vitamins and resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant. In animal experiments, it has been confirmed that resveratrol has the effect of preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Grape skins and grape seeds are also edible if you don't mind, although they are relatively less nutritious.
The key is to grasp the following two points:
To stay young and healthy, we need to start on multiple fronts.
First of all, we need to do a good job of skin care, in addition to basic hydration and moisturizing, we should also start firming, anti-aging, and anti-wrinkle work as soon as possible.
At the same time, sun protection is also essential, because ultraviolet rays are one of the main causes of aging.
Secondly, we should avoid smoking and exposure to polluted air, which can accelerate the production of free radicals and cause harm to the human body.
In addition, it is also very important to stick to aerobic exercise, which can help us eliminate free radicals, enhance cell vitality, promote blood circulation and detoxification.
Finally, maintaining peace of mind is also a way to fight free radicals, where excessive stress and tension can cause the body to secrete hormones, which in turn produce free radicals.
To better fight free radicals, we can get antioxidants from our diet.
First of all, we can eat more foods rich in selenium, such as fish, shrimp, animal offal and vegetables such as goldenrod, camellia, garlic, mushrooms, etc. Selenium has the effect of scavenging free radicals and anti-cell aging.
Secondly, we can pay attention to the intake of carotene, a substance mainly found in dark vegetables and fruits, which can neutralize the damage of free radicals to the body.
Vitamin E and vitamin C are also important antioxidants, and they are mainly found in vegetable oils, chicken, fish, eggs, dairy products, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Finally, we can also eat more fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, kimchi, etc., which are not only good for gastrointestinal health, but also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
