Have you ever thought about why some people age faster when compared to others?
Ageing is a common process and we all age is a well known fact. Ageing refers to gradual changes in skin structure and function. As a result, we could get fine lines, wrinkles, sagging etc on our face and skin. There are 2 types of ageing like intrinsic ageing and extrinsic ageing. The former is influenced by genetic factors, passage of time etc and the latter is influenced by environmental and lifestyle choices we make. The ageing process would get accelerated by certain factors. It is true that by adopting certain healthy habits we would be able to slow down the skin ageing.
Various habits that can fasten ageing are
Excessive exposure to sun:
By photo ageing process, excessive sun exposure can hasten skin ageing. It is learnt that UV rays from the sun would damage the DNA present in the skin cells, breakdown collagen and lead to oxidative stress etc. By this, there would be wrinkles, sunspots and loss of skin elasticity etc.
Smoking:
Smoking is not only harmful for our body but also for our skin. It is known that fibres in the skin like elastin and collagen would provide elasticity and strength to the skin. Blood flow would get reduced and skin would be deprived of oxygen and other essential nutrients etc. This would lead to wrinkles in young age itself.
Poor diet:
Skin ageing would get accelerated when we consume a diet rich in processed foods, unhealthy fats, sugars etc. These foods can result in inflammation and oxidative stress etc. When there is a lack of essential nutrients, then our skin would appear dull.
Inadequate hydration:
By not drinking enough water we could get dehydrated. This dehydration would make our skin dry and flaky. This would increase the chances of getting fine lines and wrinkles etc in us. Point is that chronic dehydration would lead to loss of skin elasticity.
Lack of sleep:
The skin repair process would get impaired if we don`t sleep well. We could get a dull complexion with dark circles around the eyes, puffiness and fine lines etc. Ageing would get accelerated by chronic sleep deprivation.
Stress:
We could get inflammation and there would be breaking down of collagen and elastin if we have excess stress. As a result of stress, we could get wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity etc. It is important to manage our stress by doing meditation, yoga and deep breathing etc. It is known that stress can lead to many health issues like diabetes, blood pressure, heart issues etc
Overuse of skincare products:
It must be noted that over use of skincare products would strip the skin of natural oils leading to skin irritation etc. Skin barriers would get disrupted and cause accelerated ageing in us.
No physical activity:
Blood circulation would get reduced due to a sedentary lifestyle. This would lower the oxygen and nutrients supply to the skin. As a result, we would get a dull complexion and premature ageing.

For our lives to be normal, it is highly necessary that brain health is good. By brain health, we mean optimal functioning of the brain. This would include cognitive functions, emotional well being, absence of neurological disorders etc. The bitter truth is that there are few habits that would lead to poor brain health. These habits would impair our cognitive ability, result in degenerative diseases etc. To avoid these, it is important that we must adopt a well balanced lifestyle.
Please stop these habits to improve your brain health.
Lack of sound sleep:
Sleep is very essential for both physical as well as for our brain health. By not sleeping well, there are chances of getting affected with neurodegenerative disorders etc plus it would also lead to mood issues and impairment in the cognitive functions etc. Point is that we must have a sound sleep for 6 to 7 hours at night.
Chronic stress:
The brain cells could get damaged and our memory power could reduce if we have chronic stress. The reason is that chronic stress would result in cortisol release and this would be harmful.. It is essential to keep our stress under control by practising meditation, yoga, breathing exercises etc regularly.
Poor diet:
Our brain health would get affected negatively if we consume a diet rich in sugar, unhealthy fats, processed foods etc. These foods could lead to inflammation and oxidative stress etc and these would affect our brain health. Eating a well balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains etc would be superb.
Physical inactivity:
It is worth noting that lack of physical activity would lower the production of BDNF or brain derived neurotrophic factor that supports neuron growth and function etc. Therefore, we must engage in physical activity like walking, jogging, swimming etc.
Social isolation:
There are chances of cognitive decline and more chances of dementia etc, when we are socially isolated. Hence, it is necessary to have regular interactions with family and friends etc
Excess intake of alcohol, smoking etc:
By excessive alcohol intake, there are m more possibilities of brain shrinkage, cognitive impairments etc. Therefore, we must limit the alcohol intake or quit alcohol. Truth is that blood flow to our brain would get lowered by smoking leading to dementia and strokes etc. Hence, quitting smoking is necessary.
Dehydration:
Drinking water throughout the day is essential for our brain health to be good. It must be noted that dehydration would lead to shrinkage of brain cells plus impair our cognitive functions etc.
Lack of mental stimulation:
There are more chances of cognitive decline and dementia etc in us if we do not involve ourselves in brain stimulating activities like reading books, solving puzzles etc.
