At the same physiological age, how different can people look?
Let’s look at a group of comparisons first:
These stars are of the same age, but some of them do not look like people born in the same age.
So, what can I do to look younger than my peers in 20 years?
Today, Dr. Clove will tell you about it.
Young skin
When it comes to looking young, people may think of all kinds of high-priced skin care products with anti-aging as the selling point. Compared with other products with moisturizing, acne removal, whitening and other effects, [anti-aging] is probably the most difficult appeal in skin care steps.
Anti-aging is not to reverse aging, not to eliminate wrinkles, pores or acne that have obviously occurred. If you want to resist aging from the perspective of maintenance and skin care, then the means of skin care products are still focused on delaying aging and delaying the occurrence of wrinkles.
From this perspective, the most important step in anti-aging is actually:
1. Photoaging resistance
The easiest anti-photoaging method is sun protection.
The skin aging caused by sunlight is obvious:
When summer comes, avoid going out between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the ultraviolet rays are strongest. Wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and sunshades are all sharp sunscreen tools.
At the same time, if the sun is relatively high, don’t forget sunscreen: if you only go out everyday, sunscreen with SPF 15 or so and PA + + or so is enough.
2. Antioxidation
In addition to sun protection, anti-oxidation is also a very important link to resist skin aging. The aging process can be divided into two parts, one part is related to the increase of age, the other part is oxidation, such as the increase of free radicals in the body, the decrease of hormones or the change of chromosomes to accelerate aging, which includes the important key of oxidation in the aging process.
You can choose to use some skin care products containing VC, Q10, adobenzene, resveratrol and other ingredients on a daily basis.
3. Anti-wrinkle and relaxation
Although there are many reasons for wrinkles, we can prevent fine lines and wrinkles through some methods.
For example, moisturize your skin well, wipe skin lotion, don’t take a bath with too hot water, don’t rub hard, don’t use soap with too strong alkalinity. After bathing, you can apply moisturizing lotion appropriately, and so on.
In addition, skin care products with some ingredients, such as A alcohol, retinol, peptide, etc., can also stimulate skin to produce collagen and delay wrinkles and relaxation.
Be young in size
Besides skin, there is another factor that can make you look ten years younger: body shape.
If you are young, you should also do three things:
STEP 1 Don’t be too fat
There are many formulas and machines for measuring physiological age. No matter which method is used, physiological age is linked to body fat.
This is not without reason:
Due to the decrease of metabolic rate and physical activity, there is often a more obvious weight increase trend after the age of 30.
Especially for women aged 40 ~ 45, due to the arrival of menopause, estrogen secretion level decreases, and various physiological aging will show a sudden acceleration trend.
Women who originally had less visceral fat began to have more fat distributed in the waist, abdomen and viscera, and their bodies tended to be central obesity.
Therefore, weight control is a very important aspect of keeping young.
Step 2 Have some muscle
Don’t think that muscles are the exclusive property of men. In fact, a little muscle can also help women to have a more tall and straight posture.
With the increase of age, the basic metabolic level decreases obviously, and the muscle will gradually degenerate and decrease.
Only by ensuring the daily necessary protein intake and actively exercising can body tissues be repaired in time and relaxation is not easy to occur.
Lean meat, dairy products, eggs and soybean products are all sources of high-quality protein and need to account for at least 30% of the protein consumed every day.
Early formation of reasonable eating habits, keeping a good mood and sticking to regular exercise can delay muscle attenuation and keep bones strong.
3. Tall and straight posture
If you often bend over and hunch over, it will not only not look good, but also affect your health for a long time.
Bad posture or frequent hunchback will deform the spine and bear more pressure, which will lead to pain and fatigue in the long run. What’s more, it will cause spinal deformation and permanent injury.
In order to maintain a good posture, the best way is to exercise:
The World Health Organization recommends 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week. It can be jogging, brisk walking, strength training and yoga.
The most important thing is to choose a sport you like and stick to it.
At ordinary times, more stretching and anaerobic training can also be carried out to enhance the strength of shoulder and back muscles, which is also helpful to maintain good posture.
Of course, there are many factors contributing to aging. If you have bad habits such as smoking and drinking, it is also likely to accelerate aging.
Furthermore, aging is something that everyone needs to face together. Don’t be too afraid or worried, keep young in mentality, keep innocent and curious, and correctly relieve pressure. Only in this way can you be 20 years younger from the inside out.
