Four Lifestyle Habits That Hasten Ageing

There are certain lifestyle habits that hasten ageing and indeed, ageing can be slowed down or increased by the daily life choices we make. Everything we do, including what we consume, how much we workout, and how we feel, can affect how quickly we age.

Sitting all day

Long durations of sitting have been linked to slow blood flow, trouble controlling sugar levels, and high levels of cholesterol all of which are risk factors for age-related disorders.

Consuming sweet foods

Foods heavy in sodium, sugar, poor cholesterol, and saturated fats might make the body more prone to inflammation. Sugar is pro-inflammatory and encourages a bad microbiota. All of these lifestyle habits have the potential to hasten ageing.

Smoking

Smoking, as we all know, is bad for your health and is generally recognized as a lifestyle habit that can hasten ageing and make you appear older than you actually are. It can seriously harm your well-being and cause outward signs of ageing. It damages and accelerates the ageing process of the skin and the wear and tear of different parts of the body. It may even increase the risk of cancer.

Lack of enough rest

 Poor sleep quality has an impact on our organs and many bodily processes. Sleep is essential for maintaining hormone balance, muscle function, memory formation, and a healthy metabolism, thus sleep loss over time can result in weight gain, stress and worry.
