Wrinkles, age spots, light hair, appearances and signs of aging are visible on our faces - whether we like it or not. But not everyone shows signs of aging at the same rate.
Doctors and cosmetologists have stressed that it is not possible to fight the signs of aging with only creams and cosmetics. What many people do not know is that the speed of our aging does not depend on genetic factors and genes
Not only, but how we behave. Therefore, according to the German News Agency and the "Duchi Villa" site, the scientists set a set of factors that we must consider to avoid the acceleration of the pace of aging, including:
Skin changes
"About 20 to 30% of skin changes are caused by genetic factors, and the rest - 70 to 80% - are caused by environmental effects, such as ultraviolet radiation and air pollution," says Jean Crotman, president of the Leibniz Institute of Environmental Medicine Research. "Aging never affects only one organ, it always causes the entire pyramid of an entire organism," says Martin Dentsell of the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging. Therefore, external changes are linked to the entire process of aging and can be an indication of the condition of the body. According to the German website T-Online.
Biological stress
Scientists state that if we eat fatty foods, drink alcohol or smoke, or lie down for a long time in the sun, we put our bodies under biological stress. This pressure causes damage to the molecular level, for example DNA is damaged, both in young and old people. This damage occurs thousands of times every minute. But while young body systems monitor these effects very well and quickly repair, the ability of older bodies to do this decreases.
the skin
The difference between genetically determined skin aging and those affected by external factors can be seen with the naked eye, "each of us gets fine wrinkles as we get older. However, if environmental effects are added, the wrinkles get deeper, then more collagen collapses, which is The protein that creates connective tissue increases the depth and impact of aging. Scientists explain that: "People have a different genetic makeup, as there are people who live a hundred years of age even though they smoke or consume fat," adding that these differences are often clearly visible.
