Six factors that cause human aging!

Not drinking enough water

Dr. Ahova, a famous psychiatrist, proposed: "Insufficient water intake will lead to brain aging." His point of view is that people's sense of taste and smell become duller with age. Since the elderly do not often feel thirsty, they rarely drink water, resulting in insufficient water replenishment in the body. Researchers believe that the first part to be affected by lack of water is the brain, which can lead to brain aging over time. Therefore, even if you do not feel thirsty, you should drink water at the right time and in the right amount.

Vitamin B12 deficiency

Recently, scientists studied 86 patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and found that these patients were all deficient in vitamin B12. Research and analysis show that vitamin B12 is involved in the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids in the body. If there is insufficient vitamin B12 in the body, the synthesis of dopamine in nerve tissue cells will decrease, which can lead to senile dementia. Researchers suggest that the elderly should eat foods rich in vitamin B12, such as animal liver, heart, kidney, egg yolk, milk and yeast, but those with hyperlipidemia should not eat too much.

Mitochondrial mutations

Scientists have found that the accumulation of mitochondrial gene defects in the human body will damage the ability to produce energy using oxygen, thereby causing human aging. After analyzing muscle tests on 29 people aged 16 to 92, the researchers found that the rate at which mitochondria in the muscles use oxygen to produce energy slows down significantly with age. Research suggests that mitochondria are the main source of energy for most organs, including the brain. If mitochondrial function deteriorates, it will inevitably cause human aging.

Food rancidity

Food medical experiments have confirmed that when lipofuscin is deposited in nerve and bone marrow cells, it will affect cell division, cause DNA mutations and denaturation of proteins, enzymes, etc., and accelerate cell aging. The core substance of lipofuscin is the peroxide of unsaturated fatty acids, which comes from oils and oil-containing foods. Foods such as dried fish, lard, and biscuits can easily become rancid and produce peroxides under the action of air.

Skipping breakfast

Skipping breakfast not only hurts your stomach, but also makes you look older. Therefore, from a medical point of view, skipping breakfast can make your skin dry and wrinkled.

Frequent full meals

Recently, scientists have found that frequent overeating, especially overeating at dinner, will cause the total calorie intake to far exceed the body's needs, resulting in excess fat in the body, increased blood lipids, and leading to atherosclerosis. At the same time, a full meal will cause a substance called "fibroblast growth factor" to increase tens of thousands of times in the brain. This is a substance that promotes arteriosclerosis and reduces the oxygen and nutrients supplied to the brain.
