Beauty is a 'tough' sleepyhead - sleep before 10pm
Growth hormones, also known as
“rejuvenation hormones,” are usually released from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. In particular, it exerts a lot of influence on the “young skin,” absorbing melanin to create white skin without spots, and restoring cells to improve skin thickness and elasticity. It also prevents fine wrinkles due to dry skin and loss of elasticity.
Meanwhile, rich secretion of growth hormone also distributes fat to the face and limbs, preventing fat from accumulating only in the abdomen with age.
True Killing Two birds with one stone - Full of affection~ Skinship with spouse
According to Dr. Oh Han-jin of the Department of Family Medicine, author of
<Donganhabit>, healthy sex life promotes the secretion of female and male hormones, which also has an excellent effect on preventing aging. Like this, the best way to slow down aging in the body and mind is to love your spouse. It doesn’t have to be sex.
A British study found that people who continue to touch their partners even as they get older were about 10 years younger than their peers. Physical affection is essential for health.
'Kimchi, Cheese, Smile~' - Raise the corners of your mouth
As you get older, your skin and bones droop downward due to gravity, widening your round, small face. The biggest change is the corner of the mouth, which also loses strength and droops. The corner of the mouth is a very important part that determines the age of the baby and the presbyopia. In fact, a German cosmetics company conducted an experiment to estimate the age with a smiling face and a sad face with a smile on it and a lowered corner of the mouth look two years younger. So practice pulling up the corners of your mouth consciously every day.
exercise is always right - sweaty exercise
#42 People who work out more than three hours a week are as young as nine years younger than those who work out less than 15 minutes a week. (London King’s College research team) “Exercise” here is not a walk-level light exercise, but a “sweaty exercise.” This is because growth hormones are actively secreted in the process of recovering damaged muscles due to intensive exercise.
According to a paper published in the
<British Journal of Sports Medicine>, intense aerobic exercise from middle-aged to old age can return the body’s age to 12 years.
Because my skin is precious - If you choose suncream, pick the PA index
Sunscreen has long been a must for skin aging, not an option. Often, only the SPF index is checked and the higher number is selected, and more importantly, the PA index marked PA+, PA+++, etc. next to it. The SPF index is the ability to block ultraviolet B, and PA is the ability to block ultraviolet A.
While
ultraviolet B causes redness or blisters on the skin and is strong only in midsummer, ultraviolet A penetrates the skin indoors because it does not matter the weather or season and penetrates glass. Ultraviolet A is the main culprit of photoaging.
So when you buy sunscreen, don't just look at the SPF and make sure you have a PA index
Let's stop - If you're 80% full, stop eating
Even when refueling a
vehicle, it is said that filling only about two-thirds is more efficient than filling it up. The body is no different. People in Okinawa, Japan, a world-class longevity village, say that Harahachibu is a habit. This means that no matter how delicious food you eat, if you are 80% full, you put down your spoon.
Active oxygen, known as the main culprit of
aging, is produced a lot when overeating, and only a little when eating.Michael Forsel, author of <Tellomere>, even suggests ‘five simple meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, two snacks) rather than three rich meals.’
Don’t forget
protein - moderate meat intake
As you get older, the important nutrient is protein. Doctors say that the older you get, the more meat you should eat. Meat is a high-quality energy source, supplies iron, is rich in protein, the main ingredient of muscle and growth hormones, and has the effect of increasing immunity. However, because fat is bad, eat fat-free parts. What's better is lean chicken and fish.
