Aging of the body, unfortunately, is a natural and inevitable process, but not all in old age look and feel the same. This directly depends on the person's lifestyle, eating behavior, motor activity and the presence of bad habits. The fact that in youth seems innocent pranks, after forty years can lead to serious problems that directly affect the quality of life and are able to take a person to a hospital. Let's look at the most dangerous bad habits and forever eradicate them from our lives.
Smoking
The addiction to smoking has long since become a global catastrophe, an epidemic that has literally enveloped all segments of the population. Every year, seven million people die from this addiction and diseases, directly related to it. It is proved that smoking is a direct catalyst for cancer and cardiovascular diseases, causes serious problems with the lungs and gastrointestinal tract, weakens immunity.
Especially negatively, smoking affects the health and appearance of a woman. Harmful chemical compounds contained in tobacco smoke lead to accelerated destruction of collagen in the skin and deprive the cells of oxygen. Hence the earthy complexion, the friability of the skin, premature wrinkles, flabbiness and sagging. The habit of smoking and squinting from the smoke leads to the appearance of deep facial wrinkles, not to mention the yellowness of the teeth and the disgusting smell from the mouth. Therefore, before it's too late, get rid of this addiction, which every day takes away your beauty and health!
Alcohol
Alcoholism is another scourge of modern society. Unfortunately, in our country this problem has acquired the scale of a national catastrophe. The number of people who drink from year to year is increasing, respectively, the upward trend and the death rate from the consequences of this addiction. Each sip of alcohol causes a crippling blow to the cardiovascular system, destroys the liver, kidneys and digestive tract, kills brain cells. Prolonged use of alcohol causes degradation of the personality, decreased mental and physical activity, leads to apathy and chronic depression. Uncontrolled drunkenness affects the genetic code of DNA, which can not but affect future children.
Special harm is caused by alcohol to the female body, causing a persistent dependence, from which it is incredibly difficult to get rid of. The constant use of alcohol causes characteristic swelling and puffiness of the face, associated with poor kidney function and dehydration of the body. In addition, a drunk woman often runs the risk of falling into a situation dangerous for her life and health, in which she can not adequately react to what is happening.
The categorical refusal of alcohol is not at all necessary (except for the ban on medical indications). It is enough only to limit its use, occasionally allowing itself small doses of quality alcohol.
Drugs
The terrible danger of drugs lurks in the speed of their destructive effect on the human body. From the moment "I'll just try" to "where to take a dose" is a record short time. Within a short space, a person becomes addicted to chemical substances that destroy his psyche and cripple the body. Drugs invade the metabolism, and without them the habitual process of vital activity becomes impossible. Therefore, it is so difficult to get rid of this addiction, which in 70% of cases leads to tragic consequences. As a rule, a drug addict can not independently return to normal life, he needs professional help from doctors and long-term rehabilitation.
Hypodinamy
The lack of movement and physical activity is another scourge of modern society, leading to premature aging. Technical progress has led to the fact that people began to move less, the machines replaced physical labor, which was replaced by a passive pastime at the computer surrounded by plates with harmful food. This is fraught not only with muscle atrophy and excessive obesity, but also with a whole bunch of chronic diseases.
Because of the lack of full physical exertion, the cardiovascular system suffers, the metabolism slows down, the respiratory and musculoskeletal functions are disrupted, the spine warps, which leads to stooping and even scoliosis. Lack of movement and stay in the fresh air reduces immunity and leads to oxygen starvation, which is fraught with a decrease in mental activity and the risk of mental disorders (insomnia, lethargy, drowsiness, fatigue, memory loss, increased irritability).
Uncontrolled exposure to the sun
Most people, especially women, in pursuit of a beautiful bronze tan forget about the destructive effect of direct sunlight. Ultraviolet, which contributes to the development of vitamin D, so necessary to the human body, can be a real killer for the skin. Excessive exposure to the sun without the use of special protective agents leads to premature aging and dehydration of the skin, the appearance of pigmentation and even cancer. From direct sunlight, hair and eyes suffer, so do not forget about the headdress and sunglasses. Learn how to properly choose a protective cream by skin type and do not forget to take it with you to the beach.
Lack of sleep
Even a single sleepless night can leave an imprint on the face in the form of dark circles or ugly bags under the eyes. What can we say about constant lack of sleep! Ideally, a person needs 8 hours of full night rest to completely restore all the functions of the body. The best time to go to bed is from 21 to 22 two in the evening. It is during this period that cells are renewed and the main metabolic processes are started. It is important to take care of a comfortable mattress, natural bedding and the right pillow, to ventilate the room before going to bed and take a comfortable pose (ideally to learn to sleep on your back), and then every morning will be really kind and cheerful.
Low water consumption
To the skin as long as possible remained young and supple, it is necessary to drink as much water as possible during the day. Take the rule of starting your day with a glass of clean water on an empty stomach. Lack of fluid leads to premature aging and slagging of the body, the formation of excess fat, worsening gastrointestinal function and malfunctions in arterial pressure.
