@alkalineherbshop: 6 things secretly aging you, with the receipts. Sugar: 602 adults had their blood sugar measured and their photos rated by strangers. For every 1 point (mmol/L) of higher blood sugar, people were judged about 5 months older, even without diabetes (Noordam et al., AGE, 2013). Sleep: 60 women were split into good sleepers (7 to 9 hours) and poor sleepers (5 hours or less). The poor sleepers scored significantly worse on fine lines, uneven color and slackening, and their skin barrier recovered 30% slower after being stripped with tape (Oyetakin-White et al., Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2015). Stress: 58 mothers, some caring for chronically ill children. The most stressed women had telomeres, the caps that protect your DNA, shorter by the equivalent of 9 to 17 years of aging (Epel et al., PNAS, 2004). Sitting: 1,481 older women. Those sitting more than 10 hours a day and getting little exercise had telomeres about 8 years older than the most active women (Shadyab et al., American Journal of Epidemiology, 2017). Sun: in 298 women, UV exposure explained about 80% of the visible signs of facial aging (Flament et al., Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2013). A little daily sun is healthy. Baking in it is not. Water: 11,255 adults followed for 25 years. Those with high blood sodium, a sign of drinking too little, were 50% more likely to be biologically older than their real age (Dmitrieva et al., eBioMedicine, 2023). Sleep more, sit less, drink water, and cut the sugar. #aging #antiaging #skinhealth #longevity #naturalhealth
