How not to look like junk at 30: what habits accelerate your aging (15 photos)

Eternal life or a happy life full of temptations?





Both options are complete myths, since scientists have not yet invented a cure for aging and death, but living happily and not denying yourself anything is extremely difficult.



Yes, the pleasure may be momentary, but you will have to pay for everything in the end.

How to find balance in the world of prohibitions and desires? Experts have advised to get rid of some everyday habits that are accelerating your aging.





Stress is the cause of many illnesses, among which, probably, the most severe are heart problems, high blood pressure and exacerbation of chronic diseases.



Experts from Harvard Medical School conducted research showing that chronic stress shortens telomeres inside human cells.



And therefore, a person who constantly worries grows old faster.

Red meat



Vegans take note, there is nothing to be happy about. This is not about completely abstaining from meat, but about the fact that you should not abuse it. If you can't live without a good steak, cutlets, or any other food that contains red meat, then you are more likely to die if you get diabetes or are diagnosed with cancer or cardiovascular disease.



This has been scientifically proven by a study involving more than 500 thousand subjects. Heavy meat eaters were 26% more likely to die than those who had a more balanced diet.

The study does not indicate a direct relationship between red meat consumption and the likelihood of death from heart disease and oncology, but it does suggest such hypotheses.

The following habit is not terrible for residents of St. Petersburg, but if you live in more southern regions or often spend time in hot countries, then sunscreen is your friend.



The fact is that excessive sunbathing without appropriate protection can lead not only to sunstroke or the risk of melanoma, but also ages the skin.



Needless to say, alcohol will prevent your skin and appearance in general from blooming and smelling. More precisely, it certainly can smell, but not a very pleasant amber.



And from the color palette, lovers of strong and intoxicating drinks may get a red face due to burst capillaries. In addition, drinking alcohol causes dehydration, which is not good for your appearance.



Smoking is harmful to health. Not just a phrase familiar to everyone. With each pack, smokers are warned about various diseases, and they probably talk about aging, among others.



Smoking causes poor circulation, causing the skin to receive less nutrients and oxygen. Smoke, which settles not only in the internal organs of a person, but also on the skin, is also harmful.



Well, the cherry on the cake, to be precise, is the cake itself. That is, excessive love for sweets. Yes, sweets can have a positive effect on a person’s emotional state, but you should not abuse them.



Due to their high sugar content, such foods trigger a process in the human body called glycation. This process negatively affects the content of collagen and elastin, which directly affect the condition of the skin.
