Even though you are young, your body looks like you are 40 or 50 years old! "4 Big Habits" Will Accelerate Your Aging, Adjust Quickly if These Signs Appear

Many people think that it is better to maintain good health when you are old, but research shows that the aging of the body begins to differentiate at the age of 30 or 40. Habits such as smoking, obesity, inactivity, and a fondness for eating ultra-processed foods all accelerate cell aging. If you want to delay aging, you must adjust your lifestyle now.

These habits make the body age faster.

Is health maintenance something that happens after middle-aged and older people? Nutritional and functional medicine expert Dr. Liu Boren pointed out on the "Liu Boren Nutritional and Functional Medicine Expert" Facebook fan page that the latest research found that in the 30s and 40s, the body's aging rate has actually begun to show significant differences. According to a large-scale study published in JAMA Network Open, it was also found that many people have some daily habits that significantly increase biological age. You should get rid of these bad habits as soon as possible!

{9 99} 1. Smoking

Smoking is undoubtedly the strongest "promoter of accelerated aging". According to research, the biological age of people who smoke is about 7 years older than that of people who do not smoke.

In other words, if you have a 38-year-old body, it will appear like a 45-year-old body.

2. Obesity

Being overweight, especially severe obesity, will make the body work harder. It’s not just fat, it’s the cells that are under stress along with you.

For the group with BMI ≥ 40, the biological age acceleration is very obvious. Different aging clocks show that the age ranges from 1 to 6 years faster.

3. Not exercising or doing little exercise

Not exercising or doing little exercise is a common problem among many busy office workers.

Low amount of exercise will accelerate aging. Exercise is not to get stronger, but to prevent the body from being exhausted early.

People who have low activity levels and sit for long periods of time appear to be "overage" in biological age.

4. Frequent consumption of ultra-processed foods and processed red meat

Not only the above three habits will accelerate aging, but the diet is also closely related to aging. Modern people eat too many ultra-processed foods. Most ultra-processed foods add a lot of oil, salt, sugar, lack dietary fiber, and contain very little natural food. Research shows that ultra-processed foods not only lack complete nutrition, but also accelerate the aging of organs and cause the body to decline early.

Research in Neurology also found that eating too much processed meat products such as bacon and hot dogs may damage the brain, cause cognitive decline, and increase the risk of dementia.

5 major signs may be related to organ aging

Are there any signs of aging? How do you know you are aging?

Chen Weilong, a weight loss specialist, once pointed out in an interview that when weight becomes more and more difficult to control, you are prone to drowsiness or dizziness after meals, you still feel tired no matter how long you sleep, memory declines, and immunity deteriorates, these five major signs may be related to organ aging, and you should quickly adjust your lifestyle and habits.

Gradual small adjustments for good health

Good living habits must be developed bit by bit every day, and if you want to get rid of bad habits, you must gradually reduce them. It is not easy to change them all at once. Therefore, Liu Boren suggested that you start with small adjustments every day and make gradual changes. Finally, you can get rid of bad living habits and regain your health.

. People who eat too late: Eat half an hour earlier and adjust slowly

. People who are stressed: Set aside 5 minutes every day to breathe deeply or listen to music
