Do you want to appear 10 years less? An expert gives the key to put the odds on your side.
A pen please! Where do we sign for smooth, plump skin and without wrinkles all life? Ah … if only it was so simple. Although aging is a chance, the traces that time has left on the face are inevitable. But there is one important thing to keep a physique much younger than your age.
Before going into details, it is good to know that aging is due to the gradual degradation of your body’s processes. Indeed, “You produce less collagen, which causes wrinkles, your hair color changes, your eyes and other organs deteriorate”explains Liesbet Temmerman, professor in neurobiology, in the Dutch newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws. In some people, this process takes place faster than others. And not without reason! So of course, there is genetics, but it does not play the main role in this process. Unsurprisingly, “It is estimated that the way of life influences 80 to 90 times the way we get older”informs the expert. Conclusion: You may have excellent genes, if your way of life is unhealthy, your skin will suffer the consequences.
As you can see, your daily choices contribute to the quality of your age. Admittedly, advice like: eat varied, exercise, stop smoking … are redundant, but really effective. And if you think it’s already too late, think again!
Liesbet Temmerman specifies that “People who get badly can reverse certain processes and repair certain damage”. So as soon as you can, do good to your body by adopting a balanced diet, sleeping enough (7 to 8 hours of sleep), by practicing sport at least three times 1 hour per week, without doing too much. Yes, the professor in neurobiology would like to recall that you should not be too hard with yourself, and that small folies from time to time contribute to your well-being!
