Habits that make you age quickly

Staying up late, not getting enough sleep

Staying up late is the number one culprit for premature aging. Long-term sleep deprivation disrupts the body's recovery mechanism, leading to problems such as dark circles, dull skin, and poor immunity.

You should maintain 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep every day to allow your cells to fully recover. This is the most basic condition to maintain youthful vitality.

Rubbing eyes frequently

People often rub their eyes when they are tired, itchy, or when there is a foreign object in their eyes. Although not dangerous, frequent rubbing of the eyes can easily cause eye inflammation, the skin around the eyes becomes dull and wrinkles form.

Eat processed foods, carbohydrates and sugar regularly

Regular consumption of processed foods, a diet high in sugar or carbohydrates will accelerate the shortening of telomeres (telomeres are structures that protect the ends of chromosomes from external influences) and lead to premature aging.

At the same time, long-term consumption of processed meat and red meat will significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), it can produce carcinogens.

The organization recommends that people reduce the amount of processed meat in their Western-style breakfast and replace it with fish or lean meat, which is both healthier and tastier.

Lack of exercise or overexercise

Too little exercise or high-intensity exercise over a long period of time can shorten telomeres and accelerate cellular aging.

China's National Health Administration also reminded that lack of exercise will lead to poor blood circulation, muscle loss and increased risk of chronic diseases such as colorectal cancer and breast cancer.

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, such as brisk walking, aerobics, and housework, broken up into bouts to avoid periods of overactivity or complete inactivity.

Finding the right activity pace can slow the aging process and maintain health and vitality.

High stress in life

Excessive stress will cause the body to release large amounts of stress hormones, which can easily lead to endocrine disorders, decreased immunity, and affect skin condition and emotional stability in the long term.

Learning to relieve stress through meditation, deep breathing, or mindfulness therapy can really help bring the body and mind back into balance.

Sleep on your side

The reason for the appearance of wrinkles on the cheeks and chin is because your face is pressed against the pillow while sleeping on your side. Experts advise that sleeping on your back is the best position for us to maintain a youthful appearance, freshness and a comfortable spirit.
