cause of a guideline on the human body

Exposure to sunlight without protection

Ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted from the sun can damage the elastic tissue of the skin. As a result, the skin becomes easily wrinkled prematurely. Not only that, often exposed to sunlight can also trigger the production of brown-colored aging spots on the face, hands, and other areas of the body that are often exposed to sunlight.

In addition to premature aging, sunlight can make the skin black and increase the risk of skin cancer.

In order to avoid the danger of sunlight, you can use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF level of 15 every time before activities outdoors. It is advisable to wear it from 11.00 to 15.00, either in hot or cloudy weather.

You can get more protection by combining sunscreen with other skin protectors, such as wide-brimmed hats, umbrellas, sunglasses, or loose clothing that covers the skin.

Smoke

Not only does it have a negative impact on health, smoking can also affect your appearance. Smokers experience premature aging because of damage to body tissues by toxic substances in cigarettes, and blood circulation to the face. This will accelerate the appearance of wrinkles and make it look clearer, and the facial tone becomes dull.

So, if you want to stay young longer, stop smoking.

Eating excessive alcoholic beverages

Alcoholic beverages are proven to cause premature aging of the skin. This is not much different from the effects of smoking, which is due to damage to skin tissue due to the effects of free radicals. This effect will be more quickly seen if you are often exposed to UV light, excessive stress, and not maintaining a good diet.

In addition, alcohol can also reduce levels of vitamin A, vitamin B3, and vitamin C, in the body. These three vitamins are antioxidants that are important for regenerating new cells.

In addition to avoiding premature aging of the skin, stopping the habit of drinking alcoholic beverages also aims to avoid the negative effects on the body.

Bad diet

Diet also affects the condition of your skin. Foods with poor nutrition can cause premature aging. One mechanism is to cause chronic inflammation in the body, for example by the trans fats contained in your food. Some examples of foods that can trigger premature aging are refined carbohydrates (eg bread or pasta), and foods that contain too much sugar. Both types of food can damage collagen in the skin.

Other types of food that should be limited include fried foods, sweet cakes, fast food, and fatty meats. Conversely, multiply the consumption of antioxidant-rich foods. Antioxidants are found in nuts, wine, various berries, broccoli, carrots, green tea and whole grains.

Lack of sleep

Sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality not only adversely affects health, but can also lead to premature aging of the skin. Research shows that people who have chronic sleep disorders are more at risk of developing skin disorders, including premature aging. Sleep deprivation can affect a person's appearance so it looks less fresh.
