Staying up late is the number one culprit in causing 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.
Eat processed foods, carbohydrates, and sugar regularly
Dr. Zhengjia Li pointed out that regularly consuming 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
Dr. Li said the key to cell aging depends on the length of telomeres at the ends of chromosomes. Too little exercise or long-term high-intensity exercise can shorten telomeres and accelerate cell 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 a 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.
