Five eating habits that make you age faster

According to specialist doctor II Huynh Tan Vu - Head of the Daytime Treatment Unit, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, facility 3, to have more beautiful and youthful skin, in addition to regular skin care such as cleansing and moisturizing, diet plays an extremely important role.

Doctor Vu points out 5 bad habits that make your skin wrinkle and look older:

First, eat too much

Overeating can age you especially ifdietContains chemicals, toxic additives and highly processed proteins.

Consuming more food than your body needs will cause waste to build up and increase the production of toxins in your system. If you want to stay young, you should eat less and eat healthier. But you should also avoid a strict diet that leads to a lack of important nutrients. This will show on your face.

Second, love fast food, rely on functional foods

Dr. Vu said that many people are busy or have a preference for fast food and are lazy to eat green vegetables and fruits. They also use functional foods containing multivitamins. However, this is a mistake that makes them age faster.

Vitamins are antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. These are all healthy and original foods, providing nutrients to help beautify the skin and slow down the progression of wrinkles. Therefore, even if you are busy, you should not skip green vegetables and fruits.

Third, eat a lot of fat.

Fats are essential for the body, including good fats and bad fats. Bad fats are saturated fats such as butter, lard, cheese, whole milk. Although dairy products and meat are important sources of many vitamins and minerals, eating too much saturated fat can lead to clogged arteries and heart disease. Clogged blood vessels limit lymph flow, reducing the body's ability to fight disease and remove toxins, leaving skin looking dull.

Bad fats also increase the risk of clogged pores in people with oily skin. It is best to avoid fried or grilled foods as these are oxidants that damage the body.

You can choose good fats found in avocados, olive oil, nuts. In addition, there are two essential fatty acids that are especially important for the skin: omega 6 and omega 3 found in sardines, herring, salmon. These fatty acids increase moisture and speed up the rejuvenation process, supporting the production of collagen and elastin in the dermis to prevent wrinkles and sagging.

Fourth, consuming too much salt, alcohol, and refined sugar

Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your skin. Because, alcohol dehydrates by increasing sweating and urination, depleting essential moisture from tissues and accelerating skin aging.

A diet high in salt overloads the kidneys, impairing their ability to filter impurities from the blood and increasing fluid retention that creates puffiness under the eyes and skin retention.

Additionally, eating too much sugar has been linked to acne, poor skin, and reduced immunity. Excessive consumption can affect the glucose regulation system, leading to a problem called protein glycation, which is thought to be a major cause of age-related skin damage.

Thursday, lazy to drink water

If you lack water, your skin will be dry and age faster. Providing enough water is essential to clean the excretory system on the skin, retaining the appropriate moisture in the skin cells. Dehydration can make us feel slow, lethargic, tired.

You should drink 1.5-2 liters per day. Drinking more water after 1 week will make a difference in your skin, reducing dark circles around the eyes.

In addition to filtered water, you can add one or two glasses of fruit or vegetable juice each day. Dr. Vu also advises that to have beautiful skin and look younger, you should avoid stress, tension, and staying up late.
