HEALTH TIPS: HOW WE CAN SLOW DOWN AGING PROCESS.
There are
two types of aging, first one is intrinsic which is due to hereditary and
extrinsic which is cause by the environment.
The natural
signs of aging are fine lines, thin transparent skin, loss of underlying fat
leading to eye sockets, hollow cheeks, the skin becomes dry, inability of
sweating sufficiently to cool the skin, graying hair, hair loss and unwanted
facial hair.
There are a
number of extrinsic factors or external factors which act together with the
normal aging process to prematurely age our skin. Most premature aging is
caused by over exposure to the sun. Other external factors are smoking,
excessive drinking and drugs, sleeping positions, gravity, repetitive facial
expressions.
Without protection
from the sun harmful rays, a few minutes of exposure in the sun each day over
the years cause noticeable changes to the skin. Those changes appear like age
spots, fine wrinkle lines, loose skin, blotchy complexion etc.
Performing
facial exercises to maintain youthful skin can have the opposite effect leading
to fine lines and wrinkles. Each time we use a facial muscle, a groove forms
beneath the surface of the skin, which is why we see lines form with each
facial expressions.
Gravity
constantly pulls on our bodies. In our fifties when skins elasticity declines
dramatically the effects of gravity become more evident. It causes the tip of
the nose to droop, the ears to elongate, the eyelids to
Fall, jowls
to form and the upper lip to disappear while the lower lip becomes more
pronounced.

Resting
your face on the pillow every night in the same position also leads to sleep
lines. These sleep lines eventually becomes wrinkles which become etched in our
face which no longer disappear.
·
Cigarette
smoking causes biochemical changes in our bodies that accelerate aging. People
who smoke for a number of years tend to develop an unhealthy yellowish due to their
complexions. There are also ways to slow down the signs of aging by eating a
healthy diet, exercise, using a good sun block to protect your skin from the
sun, quit smoking, etc.

Stopping
premature aging caused by the sun, you should stay out of the sun between 10am
to 4pm and make sure you use a good anti-aging product.
