How to become beautiful? These five habits make you ugly and old

Looking at your increasingly bulging and greasy belly, rough and dark skin, and hair that is almost falling out... do you really think these are all normal phenomena of aging? Take a look at these bad habits that make people age and become ugly!

1. Eating too much salt can damage your appearance

People who eat too much salt look ugly. This statement is just for scaring people. Many diseases of Chinese people are related to the intake of too much high-salt food in the traditional diet. Don’t think that salt is only found in fried dishes and pickled foods. The noodles, dumplings and buns we eat on a daily basis also contain a lot of salt.

Excessive salt intake will put a burden on the kidneys, leading to detoxification and metabolic disorders, pigmentation to form spots, and making the skin darker and rougher.

The traditional diet in many parts of China likes to eat pickled vegetables, pickled meat, salted fish and duck in sauce, etc. These foods contain a recognized type of carcinogen: nitrite. Eating too much will not only cause bad skin, but more frighteningly, it will cause chronic gastrointestinal diseases and even stomach cancer.

Dietary advice

Try to eat a light diet and increase the proportion of vegetables, grains and whole grains in each meal.

Use less oil and salt when cooking, and use more steaming and less frying.

Eat more than 20 different foods per week, ensuring that the ingredients are diverse and small.

Gradually let yourself quit eating oily and meaty foods, and learn to savor the original flavor of the ingredients.

Replace snacks with small amounts of nuts and cereals, drink more water, and less coffee, beverages and milk tea.

2. Sitting for a long time – hurts your heart meridians

Many office workers, due to the fast-paced and busy work, have to sit for 7 or 8 hours a day, and they don't even have time to go to the toilet or drink water. As a result, white-collar workers aged 25-35 have become the main patient group in the hospital's orthopedics and cardiology departments.

Sitting for a long time will not only make you fatter and fatter, but also increase the risk of hyperlipidemia, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Not long ago, there was a shocking news that a young female reporter died 12 days after spraining her foot.

The cause of her death was "pulmonary embolism", which was caused by blood clots forming in the veins of both lower limbs due to sitting for a long time. When these blood clots flowed back to the heart, they caused blockage of the heart and lungs.

Heart care advice

When working, it is best to get up and move around every 40 minutes.

Don't sit too straight. You can twist your body, lift your legs, and turn your neck from time to time.

Ensure 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day to improve cardiopulmonary function.

Go outdoors once or twice a week to take a walk, jog, or hike to relax your body and mind.

3. Staying up late at night can damage your brain

Stop asking which brand of skin care products is good for anti-wrinkle and dark circle removal. For women, the best skin care product is high-quality sleep. Sun Li, a "health expert" in the female celebrity circle, never shoots night scenes. She has to go to bed after 10 o'clock every day. She can still become the ratings queen without staying up late.

Modern people generally suffer from procrastination, especially sleep procrastination. Even though they know they are very sleepy, they still want to play with their mobile phones for a while. Before they know it, they have passed the best time to fall asleep. After that, they toss and turn in bed and cannot fall asleep, entering a vicious cycle of going to bed late, insomnia, and staying in bed.

Not only will the liver and kidneys be damaged at night, but people who do not get enough sleep for a long time will suffer from memory loss and poor spirits. Not only will their work efficiency be low, but they will also increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease as they get older.

Sleep Tips

Clear electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets, and televisions from your bedroom before going to bed.

Establish a sleeping ritual by taking a bath or soaking your feet, so that you can fall asleep as soon as possible.

Go to bed before 11 o'clock every day, listen to soothing music or read a book before going to sleep to relax your brain.

If you have to stay up late or go to bed late due to work, you should make sure to get at least 6 consecutive hours of sleep.
