As the old saying goes, 'A long eyebrow is worth a thousand grains.' After the age of 50, the eyebrows become longer, what is the hint?

Grandpa Zhang is 75 years old this year. He looks very amiable and everyone who knows him likes him very much.

In everyone's eyes, Grandpa Zhang has wheat-colored skin, long eyebrows, and curved eyes...

Grandpa Zhang's daughter occasionally comes home to play chess and chat with him.

His daughter usually likes to pay attention to some strange issues, for example, she recently caught Grandpa Zhang's long eyebrows. " Is it normal for the elderly to have long eyebrows ?" This question has always troubled her.

I believe everyone will have such doubts. Scientific research shows that long eyebrows are often a predictor of changes in the body.

In this article, we will systematically elaborate on several aspects such as the ancient cognition of eyebrows, the reasons for eyebrow lengthening, and how to adjust and improve.

one. There is a long history of discussion about "eyebrows"

"Sungao flowers lazily combing their hair, silently leaning on the makeup building. Cultivating eyebrows and condensing daisies, distant mountains and green trees, relative to the spring sorrow ."

"Come to the window and support each other with a smile. The depth of the thrush of love is shallow, and there is no time for it." He was overjoyed, his brows were overjoyed, and the joy between his brows was full of joy.

"I secretly looked in the mirror at the age of eight, and I can draw long eyebrows." The shaggy boy, the happiness of a family, this is the warmth flowing from the eyebrows .

All kinds of mourning and joy, the experience and the past, are always accompanied by the pace of the years, passing by your side, only then do you lower your brows and then your hearts. And your eyebrows may tell about your experience, inform your health status, and reflect your emotions.

"The body is hairy, and the parents do n't dare to damage it. The beginning of filial piety." The ancients would not easily damage the body. For them, long eyebrows, or not only the accumulation of long years, but also the treasures conferred by their parents, are a kind of commitment full of affection.

The long eyebrows of the ancients are sometimes not only a symbol of longevity, but also a reflection of the old man's youthful appearance and the wise man's serenity. It seems that she is telling the story of someone's experience, and it seems that the gurgling water is running on the stone, ironing your heart and my heart, and the tinkling is crisp and beautiful.

Like the portrait of Confucius we have seen , with long eyebrows on the side , he is independent from the world. Another example is the eyebrows and green frowns of ancient women, with a slender shape, like the hibiscus in the distant mountains, elegant and fresh.

And we are also enough to see that the importance of eyebrows to the ancients often shows a person's different social experiences, reflects different temperaments, and tells the ups and downs of life.

two. The secret to growing eyebrows after 50

The ancients' crane-haired and childlike faces, long eyebrows and beards can always leave a deep impression on us, as if the ancients had these characteristics.

We also often see some elderly people playing chess or Tai Chi in the crowd in the evening, and many elderly people will have long eyebrows.

So for us, why do many people have longer eyebrows after they reach the age of 50 ?

Part of it is due to genetics , and genes determine traits . For example, there are certain members of your family, especially those who are close relatives to you. If their eyebrows are too long, chances are, as you get older, you'll have longer eyebrows too.

Generally speaking, genetics cannot be changed by us, but there is no lack of technological and medical development, which will create more possibilities in the future.

We can face up to the genetic factors. In fact, this also reminds us that for some diseases of some parents, elderly relatives, we can prevent them in our daily life .

On the other hand, from the metabolism of our own cells . For example, generally everyone can realize that the metabolic growth of children will be faster, while the metabolism of the elderly will be relatively slower .

According to the "Research Progress in Ecological Metabolomics" launched by the School of Life Sciences of Heilongjiang University, changes in factors such as gender, age, health status, and environment will lead to metabolic variation in organisms.

Relatively speaking, the metabolism of the elderly will be slower and the metabolic cycle will be longer, so the eyebrow growth cycle will be longer, which is one of the reasons why some elderly people have longer eyebrows.

In terms of the metabolism of their own cells, in general, the metabolism of children's bodies is faster, while the metabolism of the elderly is relatively slower. Long eyebrows in the elderly may be a sign that the body's metabolism is slowing down.

But we need to look at the situation dialectically, and in fact we inevitably experience all kinds of physical changes as we get older.

Longer eyebrows in the elderly are a manifestation of the slower metabolism of the body, and the slower metabolism of the elderly is actually a normal situation, because each of us is inevitably aging. This also reminds us that we need to take some care of our body .

In addition, it may also be related to hormones in the body . Hormones are very important to the human body. To a certain extent, they ensure the health of the human body and coordinate the completion of various physiological activities.

For individuals with excessive hair, excluding genetics and other factors, it is very likely that there is too much androgen secretion in the body or a disorder of androgen in the body .

This situation also applies to the phenomenon of excessively long eyebrows in the elderly. "The role of β-catenin in the differentiation and development of hair follicles in the mouse androgen-induced alopecia model" once stated that androgens not only affect the mouse telogen cycle, but also It may also affect the adhesion of the telogen follicle to the hair.

Due to the excessive or disordered secretion of male hormones in the elderly, the resting period of the hair follicles is relatively prolonged, resulting in the phenomenon of excessively long eyebrows. Hormones in the human body, always work in an orderly manner. It is secreted for a specific purpose during a specific period to maintain the normal physiological activities of the human body.

Hormones not only enable our bodily functions to function properly, at the same time, the healthy secretion of hormones will also help us maintain an optimistic attitude.

In view of the phenomenon of "one long eyebrow" in the elderly, on the one hand, we can realize that it may be caused by the disorder of hormone secretion in the elderly. On the other hand, it also reminds us that we can make appropriate adjustments to maintain the normal secretion of hormone levels in the body.
