17 Habits That Makes You Age Fast
~6.4 mins read
Although aging is a natural process, there are some habits you may be partaking in which are speeding up the process of common age related activities like wrinkled skin, aches and pains, mental decline, and predisposition to diseases. Often, we don't even realize these seemingly routine habits are shortening our lifespan dramatically. So, if you're looking to look better, live longer, stay sharp, and feel full of energy, I've uncovered these mistakes you could be making that are signs you'll age faster than you should.
However here are the 17 bad habits that will make you age faster.
1 Sleeping On A Rough Pillowcase.
If you’re sleeping on a rough or cheap pillowcase, it could be contributing to wrinkles! Your skin gets thinner and more sensitive as you age, so little things like your pillowcase can have a big effect. To avoid wrinkles, consider swapping your old pillowcase out for a silk pillowcase.
2 Not Taking Care Of Your Teeth.
Your teeth are one of the first places to start showing signs of age. To keep them looking nice and white, make sure to brush and floss daily, and see your dentist for regular checkups.
3 Ignoring Your Mental Health.
It may come as a surprise, but experiencing psychological distress such as depression and anxiety can actually result in accelerated aging. Your mental health and physical health are linked, and you need to take care of both of them! If you’ve been feeling down for more than a couple of weeks, make sure to seek the help of a professional.
4 Low fat diets.
To prevent wrinkles it is essential to consume omega-3 fatty acids that help keep skin supple and smooth. A low fat diet deprives us of this component, causing premature aging of the skin.
5 Sipping through a straw.
When sipping drinks through a straw you have to purse your lips which can cause lines and wrinkles to form around your mouth. The same applies to smoking. Try drinking directly from the glass, and if you're a smoker try your best to quit. It can be a long and hard process, but the benefits of quitting smoking are enormous.
6 Overusing your heating system.
use of artificial heating makes your indoor air very dry. Your skin and hair become dry too, and you get more wrinkles as a result. Try to keep the heat lower in your house.
7 You love meat.
If your carnivore attitude is crowding veggies from making it to your plate, you may be negatively affecting your lifespan. The link between increased meat consumption and early death has been noted in multiple studies, including a recent analysis of 1.5 million people in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. On the other hand, those who eat the most fruit and veggies have a 15 percent lower risk of mortality than those who eat the least amount, according to Vanderbilt researchers. Experts speculate the higher risk of all cause mortality among meat eaters is because people who eat a lot of red meat also tend to eat fewer plant based foods, so they consume fewer of their cancer protective antioxidants and nutrients.
8 You sit a lot.
You may think a construction job is dangerous, but experts have found that working a desk job may put your health in a similar amount of danger. According to a 2016 analysis of one million men and women by Cambridge University researchers, sitting for at least eight hours a day could increase your risk of premature death by up to 60%. Heart disease and cancer were the top causes of death linked to an inactive lifestyle, but prolonged periods of sitting have also been connected to slow blood circulation, poor blood sugar regulation, and high cholesterol levels which set the stage for age related diseases. There is a silver lining: The authors also found that among those who sat for eight hours or more a day, the participants who also engaged in at least an hour's worth of exercise such as moderate walking reduced their risk of mortality by nearly 40% compared to those who didn't move at all.
simpling getting up to walk around for two minutes every half hour has been linked to improved glucose and insulin responses in overweight participants, according to studies in Diabetes Care and BMJ. Walk to grab a glass of water, and opt for the stairs. It also helps to keep you from regaining weight.
9 You don't bother with exercise.
You don't even need a gym to work out. Experts find that just 30 minutes of moderate walking can improve health, lower bad cholesterol, protect your heart, improve insulin sensitivity, and strengthen bones. As we age, an injury can become increasingly life threatening, so on top of ensuring you're consuming enough vitamin D and calcium, ensure you're getting in at least three days of 30-minute brisk walking.
10 All your grains are white.
White grains are stripped of their outer, fiber and nutrient rich shell, meaning they're essentially just another version of sugar. Sugar feeds the bad bacteria in your gut, which can then crowd out the good bacteria, which help release anti inflammatory compounds into your body. Eating white grains, like white rice, white bread, pasta, and pizza, means you're eating fewer whole grains foods that researchers are finding have powerful benefits. The high B vitamin content of whole grains (which is nearly entirely lost during the refinement process) helps to reduce the inflammatory hormone homocysteine in the body. Plus, high fiber foods suppress appetite and strengthen your immunity, a system that tends to weaken with age.
11 You rarely get a good night's rest.
If you didn't already know from personal experience, the National Sleep Foundation says that most Americans don't get enough shut eye. Because sleep is a critical component of hormone regulation, muscle recovery, memory development, and maintaining a properly functioning metabolism, over time, sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain, anxiety, depression and insulin resistance which can trigger type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Make catching some ZZZ's a top priority so your body can adequately produce fat burning hormones start with these 30 Things to Do Before Bed to Lose Weight And Sleep Better.
12 Smoking.
It’s certainly no secret that smoking is bad for your health. But did you know it’s bad for your looks, too? Studies show that in addition to shortening your life by increasing your risk for heart and lung disease, smoking can activate enzymes that break down the elasticity of your skin. Even if you’re a closet smoker, the fine wrinkles and pallor that cigarettes cause can give you away — just one more reason to snuff out those smokes.
13 Holding On to Grudges.
Life is too short and precious to hold on to old grudges. Learning how to let go and forgive may add years to your life and make the years you have left a lot more productive. (You might even notice fewer wrinkles from frowning.) Studies show that forgiveness leads to better physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Benefits include lower blood pressure, less depression, less stress, and less anxiety.
14 Drinking Alcohol.
You may have heard that moderate drinking is good for senior health, but what's considered
“moderate†changes as you get older. According to the American Geriatrics Society, more than one drink a day for an older man and half of one for an older woman can be too much. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause cognitive decline and may contribute to falls. Alcohol can also interfere with some medications. Ask your doctor how much alcohol — if any — is safe for you.
15 You wash your hands and face too much.
Over washing strips the skin and ages you much faster. When it comes to your face, use a gentle cleanser without added fragrance (this goes for all skin types). While those prone to acne often reach for the products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to keep their skin issues at bay, these ingredients strip the skin and cause severe dryness and irritation that leads to wrinkles and a dull look. And don’t forget to moisturize!
16 You eat too much sugar.
Sugary drinks and store bought cookies will wreak havoc on your skin and looks. Consuming too much processed, sugary food. According to research published in 2013, people with the highest blood sugar levels look older. The study involved more than 600 men and women who had no knowledge of where they fell on the spectrum. A board was asked to guess the age of participants without knowing anything about them, and those who had the highest blood sugar were thought to be older.
17 You’re always stressed.
If you’re constantly thinking about groceries, laundry, and work deadlines, then it’s time to relax. Not only can chronic stress increase your risk for heart disease, but it can also make you look 10 years older. When you’re anxious, your body releases stress chemicals, which will slowly age your body. If your job is stressing you out, then consider practicing meditation and doing mini desk workouts.
