Fighting Aging Skin
February 3, 2009
If one is becoming old, then it doesn’t mean that the person will definitely be having some physical sufferings or will get away from his or her emotion. Generally it means that the person is becoming better day by day. However there are various theories on how the skin ages. They are:
Error accumulation theory: As the body becomes old, the accumulated free hormonal radicals slow down the biochemical process in the body. Due to this the cells lose their ability to heal the break down and thus lead to the damage of skin tissues to a large extent. This in turn leads to aging, degeneration or sometimes skin cancer. The culprits in this case are the free radicals which are highly toxic in nature and causes vast damage. They also sometimes damage out DNA as well.
How to fight against them: To destroy these free radicals, intake of antioxidants is a must. They also help in stopping the cellular degeneration as well. It has been proven that fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, and they help fight free radicals and arrests aging. Vitamins also no doubt help in fighting aging. Studies have shown that intake of fresh fruits and vegetables are more beneficial then eating pills of antioxidants and vitamins.
Glucose browning: The human body system reacts to sugar by releasing a chemical known as insulin, which stores the sugar in the form of fats. With years of this fat, the body cells become opponents to insulin. This in turn leaves the sugar unconverted, which then gets mixed up with the proteins present in the blood and creates havoc. This accumulation of glucose is known as AGE (Advanced Glycosylation End).
How to fight against it: From the year 1930, there have been many researches and studies conducted on diet. It has been proved that a diet which is less in calories by 30 to 60 percent helps in increasing the life time of a person. This calorie restriction helps a low rate metabolism fight fat, thus resulting in less glycosylation and lower oxidation because the production of free radicals is delayed.
It is in our hands to take care of the skin and thus, with a little presence of mind and healthy diet, we can accomplish the goal.
