The study found that modern people may be prematurely aging for 15 years. If you love to eat these three kinds of food, beware of accelerated aging

"Aging" has always been a hot topic.

@chen: I am 32 years old this year. I feel that my state is not the same as before. It is easy to lose my energy. I feel that my body has entered a state of needing retirement, but at first glance, there are still more than 30 years before retirement. so fast.

@Diligent Nanshan: I am 60 years old and a marathon runner. My weight has not changed for more than 10 years.

Everyone's perception of aging is different, so how old does the body begin to age? How can we delay aging?

1. People seem to be aging prematurely?

A study published in the Netherlands in 2013 mentioned that the health status of modern people is worrying compared with that of their parents. 40 years old is equivalent to 55 years old, which may mean that we have "premature aging" for 15 years.

Although the most intuitive manifestations of aging are external manifestations, such as changes in skin and hair. In fact, senescence starts from cells, and the internal cause of senescence is cellular senescence.

Wang Daowen, director of the Department of Cardiology, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said: The aging of the human body is a dynamic and progressive complex process. Starting from the age of 30, various functions of the body, including the brain, heart, lung, and liver, will gradually decline. The decline of these functions will be significantly accelerated with age.

What is the aging time of various organs in the body?

**heart:**Xu Shunlin, chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital, said that due to factors such as high stress, smoking and drinking, the rate of heart aging in men is 10 years earlier than that in women. Men are over 45 years old, and women over 55 years old, heart disease changes . Get high.

Brain: The brain begins to develop after birth, reaches its peak around the age of 35, and then begins to decline year by year, especially after the age of 45, the rate of aging becomes significantly faster.

Lungs : According to the "Lung Aging and Interventions Study",The age of 20-25 is the peak period of the lungs , after which the lung function declines year by year, especially at the age of 40.

Liver : The liver begins to age after the age of 45. At the age of 65, the metabolic capacity of the liver declines significantly, and the blood flow to the liver decreases significantly.

Kidney: Kidney function starts at about age 30, and the glomerular filtration rate decreases at a rate of 0.5-1ml per year.

Muscle: From the age of 30, it gradually loses at a rate of 1-5% per year. After the age of 60, the decline is obvious, and the muscle strength decreases by 3-5% every year.

With age, the gradual aging of various organs and functions is inevitable, but some improper behaviors may accelerate your aging.

2. Love to eat three kinds of food, beware of accelerated aging

Improper diet is a major cause of accelerated aging, especially for those who love to eat these 3 types of food.

Eating too much fruit may also cause aging. Because there is a lot of sugar in fruit, when you consume too much fructose, it is easy to induce old age. Sugar can promote the glycation of collagen cells in the body, accelerate the damage of collagen fibers, and may cause wrinkles, age spots and other problems.

Moreover, eating more fruits and eating less of other foods may lead to nutritional imbalances. When the body lacks protein, fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins, it will also lead to problems such as decreased immunity and anemia, which may accelerate aging. Therefore, in general, the daily intake of fresh fruits for healthy adults is 200g~350g.

Secondly , aluminum-containing foods , such as twist, shrimp chips, fried dough sticks and other foods, are often added with aluminum-containing additives such as alum in the production process in order to make them fluffy and strong .

If the aluminum in the body accumulates to a certain amount, it may combine with proteins and enzymes, damage the health of the body and accelerate the aging of the brain. However, there are also aluminum-free foods on the market. Pay attention to screening when purchasing, and there is no need to panic.

In addition, fried foods should also be avoided as much as possible. Such foods are high in fat, and if you eat too much, you will accumulate a lot of fat in the body, which will affect the body's metabolism and endocrine, and accelerate aging.

If you don’t want to grow old faster than ordinary people, then if you like these three types of food, you have to control your mouth!

Three or four manifestations appear, perhaps already on the road of aging

When aging, the body will also have a variety of different manifestations, especially these four:

· Shorter height, hunchback

With age, some people's spine shortens and people become shorter. At the same time, the muscles and elasticity will also deteriorate, some muscles may become loose and weak, and when the back muscles cannot be pulled back, the spine will bend forward as a whole, resulting in a hunchback.

· Increased wrinkles, age spots

As you get older, your skin becomes less elastic, less oily, and your skin becomes dry, so you are more likely to have wrinkles. Moreover, due to the decline of body functions, toxins and pigments are easily deposited in the body, and age spots are prone to occur. If you don't pay attention to sun protection, wrinkles and age spots may grow more.

· Increased nocturia

Generally speaking, if the number of urination is more than 2 times at night, it can be considered that nocturia is increased. With age, the renal concentrating function declines, and the bladder detrusor atrophy causes the contraction ability to become weaker, and it is prone to increased nocturia.

·Decline of memory

With the increase of age, the brain function will also normalize, the cognitive ability will decline, and it is prone to memory loss, dizziness, insomnia, but it needs to be distinguished from diseases such as dementia.

When the above-mentioned manifestations appear, it means that the body has begun to gradually age, and at this time, we can find ways to delay the aging.

Fourth, how to slow down the pace of aging?

If you want to delay aging, first, exercise is really indispensable . Appropriate exercise can strengthen cardiopulmonary function, ensure smooth blood flow, and the heart can send oxygen to the whole body through blood vessels to meet the needs of the body, thereby delaying the aging of organs.

It is recommended to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day, no less than 5 days a week. When exercising, pay attention to adjusting it according to your own situation.

Second, don’t eat too much if you really eat, just seven or eight minutes full. The more energy the human body takes in, the more free radicals are generated, which can increase the speed of the body’s aging.

Third, put down your phone early and don't stay up late. Long-term staying up late will accelerate the aging of organs. The older you are, the more obvious the impact of staying up late.

**Fourth, try to maintain a good attitude,**Zhang Xin, an associate professor at the School of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences at Peking University, said that the more you worry, the more negative mood swings are caused, and the brain can produce harmful neurotransmitters, which may cause irreversible damage.

Summary: Aging is inevitable, but we can try to delay the speed of aging. This requires us to do as little as possible to accelerate aging, and to develop good living and eating habits and a good attitude in order to "keep youth forever".
