“노화”는 모든 사람들에게 무서운 존재다. “늙는다는 것”은 외모뿐만 아니라 건강에도 영향을 미친다. 아쉽지만 우리는 노화를 막을 수 있는 방법은 없다. 하지만 몇 가지의 안 좋은 습관만 고치면 노화를 늦출 수 있다고 허핑턴 포스트가 보도했다.
1. 너무 많은 걱정
스트레스는 노화를 촉진시키는 심각한 요소이다. 육체적 건강뿐만 아니라 정신적, 감정적 건강에도 영향을 끼친다. 스트레스는 혈압 상승에 기여하며 면역력에도 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 요가 등 스트레스를 줄일 수 있는 활동을 하면 좋을 것이다.
2. 운동 부족
운동을 하지 않는 것은 비만, 심장혈관 및 신장질환을 초래할 수 있다. 하루에 운동에 30분만 투자하면 노화 촉진을 막을 수 있고 10년까지 더 살 수 있다.
3. 수면 부족
수면 부족은 사람을 지치게 하고 다크 써클과 같은 결과만 낳는다고 생각하기 쉽다. 하지만 부족한 잠은 사람을 하루 종일 기운 없게 만드는 것 외에 평소보다 음식을 많이 먹을 수 있게 된다.
4. 안 좋은 식습관
빠른 속도로 늙고 싶지 않으면 야채는 필수다. 야채는 산화 스트레스와 각종 암을 예방할 수 있는 산화방지제 (비타민 E, C 등의 물질)가 있기 때문이다.
5. 피부 관리를 소홀히 하는 것
크림과 로션만 바르는 것이 피부 관리에 해당되는 것이 아니다. 충분한 수분섭취를 하는 것이 스킨케어에 중요요하다. 본인에게 알맞은 기초 제품을 고르고 수분 섭취만 충분히 해준다면 노화 과정을 훨씬 늦출 수 있다.
6. 흡연
흡연은 암 및 심장병을 유발하며 치아를 누렇게 변질시킨다. 그뿐만 아니라 미세한 주름에 기여하기 때문에 더 빨리 늙는다.
7. 자외선차단제를 사용하지 않는 것
자외선차단제는 우리의 피부를 UVB로 부터 보호한다. 많은 여성들이 자외선차단 기능이 있는 베이스메이크업 제품을 사용하지지만 썬크림을 사용하는 것이 늘어지는 모공, 다크 스팟 및 미세 주름을 예방해준다.
8. 성생활을 규칙적으로 하지 않는 것
몇몇의 연구결과에 따르면 규칙적인 성생활을 하는 사람들이 더 건강하다. 섹스는 엔도르핀과 같은 호르몬을 생산하여 면역력의 효율성을 증가시키며 스트레스를 줄여주고 특정 암의 확률도 줄여준다고 한다.

Bad habits that speed up the aging process
Becoming older does not only effect outer appearance but also health. Unfortunately, we are not able to stop the aging process but there is a way to slow it down by stopping some habits, according to Lifespan.
1. Too much worrying
Stress is a major factor which speeds up aging. It influences not only physical health but emotional and mental health as well. It increases blood pressure and produces negative hormones which affect your immune system. Yoga or any other form of relaxation can help to cool you off.
2. Not exercising enough
Lack of exercise can cause obesity and increases the risk of cardiovascular and kidney disease. Exercising 30 minutes a day can help you delay the aging process and helps you to live longer up to one decade.
3. Lack of sleep
Lack of sleep makes you tired and it’s believed to create dark circles only. But not enough sleep will make you tired the entire day and there is a possibility that you are going to eat more. Seven hours of sleep is necessary for an adult person.
4. Not eating healthy
Eating healthy, which includes vegetables, is a must if you don’t want to age quickly. Vegetables contains antioxidants which prevent oxidative stress and lowers the risk of cancer.
5. Neglect of skin care
Taking care of your skin is not restricted to put lotion and cream on your face but staying hydrated as well. If picking the right moisturizer, the aging process can be slowed down dramatically. In other words, anti aging cream plus drinking water can slow down the aging process.
6. Smoking
