How NOT To Age So Fast

How NOT To Age So Fast

Frankly, AGING should never part of any discussion OR thread because essentially, AGING is part of our lifetime process.  No choice bro.  BUT WHAT is quite alarming [even for a non-expert like me] is WHEN PREMATURE AGING happens much faster than it should.  And quoting experts on this, let's blame it on numerous environmental and lifestyle factors.  BUT before getting into specifics, there is a widespread consensus that HEALTHY LIFESTYLE habits can help STOP and even prevent further PREMATURE AGING. How NOT To Age So Fast is WHAT matters most to us right now📗📙📘

At this point, we WON'T waste our time listing all the symptoms of PREMATURE AGING, everyone know them well enough.  Instead, WHAT matters most to us is to figure out WHAT are the possible causes of PREMATURE AGING but experts say that in most cases, numerous factors are controllable and even preventable.  And the technical jargon for this is EXTRINSIC AGING.  Topping the list is undue sun exposure💧💧💧

I WON'T get into the specifics but simply put, blame it on the ultraviolet [UV] light and exposure to sunlight.  And dermatologists call this "PHOTOAGING", which then causes approximately 90% of visible changes in our skin.  WHILE the remaining 10% is attributed to the high-energy visible [HEV] and infrared light.  NOW, lets go for the "MORE INTERESTING" causes:

• SMOKING - WHY?  Toxins in nicotine alter your cells
• UNHEALTHY DIET - WHY?  Sugar and refined carbohydrates are the primary culprits
• ALCOHOL - WHY?  It dehydrates our skin over time
• POOR SLEEP - WHY?  Your cells will age faster
• STRESS - WHY?  Your brain pumps out CORTISOL [a STRESS hormone] WHEN you are stressed

So, WHAT can we do to stop OR prevent premature AGING?  No-brainers folks.  

• AVOID SUN EXPOSURE [where possible]
• STOP SMOKING [as in STOP]
• EAT MORE FRUITS & VEGGIES
• CUT BACK on ALCOHOL
• EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE
• LOWER YOUR STRESS LEVELS - that's obvious
• IMPROVE QUALITY/QUANTITY of SLEEP

Our takeaway:  We DON'T need to be at the level of the rich and famous for us to prevent OR stop PREMATURE AGING because they DON'T have a monopoly of this very unique luxury in life.  If techies would preach that GARBAGE IN equates to GARBAGE OUT, this is as relevant when it comes to PREMATURE AGING.  WHAT we do, WHAT we eat, WHAT we practice will dictate WHETHER we will AGE FAST or NOT.  Challenge for you dude💥💥💥
