Life is like a dream, and the years are ruthless. In the long river of life, aging is a natural law that everyone cannot escape. From the relaxation of ** to the aging of organs, from the loss of bone mass to the graying of black hair, the body inadvertently reveals the marks of time. However, one of our many desires is to be able to delay this inevitable process and enjoy life more.
The ancients said: "The spirit of health care should be known, and daily life should be regular." This ancient adage has been used for thousands of years to convey the pursuit of health. However,In modern life, some habits unwittingly become the culprit of accelerated aging. We may have heard that it is not advisable to stay up late, smoking is harmful, poor mood affects physical health, and lack of exercise and poor eating habits damage the body. These habits may seem insignificant, but they unconsciously accelerate the aging hand.
Fifth place: the impact and problems of staying up late
Staying up late may seem like just a one-night affair, however, its effects on the body are visible to the naked eye. **, as the body's first line of defense, is the first messenger of aging. The dark circles under the eyes become more obvious, the complexion gradually turns yellow, and the dryness of ** makes people feel the vicissitudes of time. The ancients said: "I can't sleep at night, and my color is worse than light." "Insomnia at night not only makes people lose their face, but also makes the depth of wrinkles gradually worse.
And collagen, known as the "spring of the best", cannot be effectively repaired in staying up late. Long-term insomnia and staying up late have caused a large loss of water, but the loss of collagen is gone. ** Losing the original elasticity and toughness, dark circles appear everywhere.
Staying up late at night not only affects appearance, but also disrupts the normal biological rhythm of the body and interferes with the normal operation and metabolism of the body. Hormone secretion is out of balance, and the adverse effects can even continue to affect the next sleep. Although catching up on sleep can help the body regain strength, scientific studies have shown that even if you catch up on sleep, the metabolic abnormalities caused by staying up late last time will continue to affect the body.
Fourth place: the dangers of smoking
Cigarettes contain more than 7,000 chemicals, of which no less than 60 are confirmed to be carcinogenic。Smoking is not only a pleasant entertainment, but also the body silently pays for this pleasure.
In the smoke of cigarettes, respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis and chronic pharyngitis may come to the door. Normal breathing is affected, and lung function is significantly reduced, eventually leading to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The existence of these chronic diseases not only threatens life expectancy, but also affects the health of the body.
As a result, life expectancy is threatened, and quitting smoking is a necessary step in maintaining good health. Quitting smoking is not only a relief for the body, but also a continuation of future life. In the smoke of cigarette smoke, life may be diminished unconsciously. We should say goodbye to cigarettes early in order to allow health to exist.
3rd place: poor mood and negative mentality
The state of loneliness and loneliness will lead to the depressed mood of the elderly, coupled with the original natural aging, they often feel helpless in the face of life, and then it is easy to form a negative attitude towards life. Poor emotional state directly affects the health of the body, and some studies have shown that a negative attitude towards life will reduce the body's various functions and accelerate the aging of the body.
At night, insomnia and dreaminess can become a problem, affecting the quality of sleep. As the ancient books say: "The night is sad, and the years are late." ”Insomnia makes people feel debilitated and accelerates the rate of aging.
Emotional regulation and positive mindset are essential for the health of the elderly. The elderly with easy mobility can go out for a walk more, increase social activities, maintain close contact with friends and family, and give more care in their later years with the warmth of family affection. May we all face the years ahead with a positive attitude.
2nd place: lack of exercise
Older people often face the problem of reduced exercise due to the natural aging of their bodies. Some people choose to stay at home, or sit and watch TV for long periods of time, with little physical activity. As a result of this lifestyle, bones are not exercised enough, and bone loss has become a common problem for the elderly.
A 10-year follow-up study by an Australian medical research institute found:Older people who exercise a certain amount of exercise have a lower risk of chronic diseases than those who do not like to exercise. The ancients said: "If you move, you will be successful, and if you are general, it will not hurt." "Life lies in exercise, and a moderate amount of exercise will slow down all functions of the body.
If you habitually sit in one place every day, the bone flexibility and toughness of the elderly will be greatly reduced, and the bone mass will be lost with age. The coordination of the body deteriorates, and the risk of wrestling increases as a result. And these falls can lead to fractures, causing more health problems for the elderly.
1st place: Eating problems and poor eating habits
The ancients said: "People's food is self-evident." ”The diet high in salt, oil and sugar not only increases the burden on the liver, but also directly threatens the health of the elderly. Older people should be wary of excessive salt, as a high-salt diet may overburden the liver and accelerate the aging process.
There is a cloud in ancient books: "Burning food hurts the esophagus." ”Older people often like food that is too hot, however, too hot food can cause direct damage to the esophagus. Damage to esophageal tissue can lead to various digestive problems and even increase the risk of cancer.
Older people like to eat foods high in sugar, however, high sugar intake not only leads to an increase in blood sugar, but may also cause glycation of collagen. The glycation of collagen is a factor that causes aging, making the elderly lose their elasticity and are prone to wrinkles and sagging.
Later years are like a picture scroll of the years, which we can depict with different colors. It is in these five accelerated aging habits that we find the key to maintaining health and vitality. May we be able to live up to the time on the road of health, welcome every morning sunshine, and share the beautiful years with a healthy body and a bright mood.
