Habits that cause premature aging

Medical experts have mentioned some reasons we are going to tell you the same reasons today so that you too become an aging thief.

It so happens that many of our daily activities make us look old. This "aging" comes imperceptibly and slowly and because we don't think about it, we go on doing things that bring wrinkles to the face.

Always thinking about something

People who keep their minds busy all the time do the biggest injustice to their bodies. Instead of thinking about some problem all the time, give your mind a rest; otherwise, the body will start looking old due to this busyness.

Effects of sun and heat on the face

Some people get used to walking around all day, they don't even care about the strong sun, the body becomes sweaty from the sun and heat, even the hair gets wet, all these signs are no less than a warning that the body needs it’s getting too hot cool it down sir! Sun and heat destroy collagen, a type of protein in the skin, which is essential for the strength of hair, bones, skin, and nails. It serves to connect their cells. Elastin also starts to disappear due to the sun and heat. Elastin is the type of connective tissue that is the main substance in the elastic tissue of tendons and muscles.

This is the reason why maids and women who work in the kitchen look older than those who do not work. Likewise, the skin needs to be protected from moisture and cold. If you are a cigarette smoker, know that it causes wrinkles to appear prematurely.

To lie idle

Because of laziness, some people don't do any work; they often stay at home in bed. Some rest is good for the body, but according to the American Institute of National Library of Medicine, laziness accelerates the aging process. While exercise helps to keep you young. Exercise improves insulin production, and depression boosts immunity and improves bone and artery function, which delays aging for a while.

Lack of sleep and the wrong way to sleep

It also attacks the immune system. Apart from causing anxiety, lack of sleep also affects blood pressure and the digestive system. Seven to nine hours of sleep is recommended for everyone.
