First, the change of aging.
1, with a lot of hair on his face.
Some women may have beards above their lips, which is mainly related to genetic factors. Some women have more hair on their faces as they get older. When you get older, the level of estrogen in women will drop, which will lead to the imbalance of hormones between men and women and increase facial hair.
2. The hair on the top of the head becomes thinner.
After menopause, 50% of women will notice that the hair on the top of the head is obviously thinner. After the age of 50, both men and women will encounter such embarrassment, which is mainly related to the loss of estrogen to protect hair.
3. Eyebrows are sparse
It is related to hormone imbalance in the body.
4. Nose and ears become bigger and droop.
Due to the relaxation of skin and soft tissue and the change of supporting structure, ears and nose will droop slowly over time, especially if you have the habit of wearing earrings.
When you smile, the white part of your teeth becomes more.
Gums seem invisible, because your gums are degenerating and shrinking, and less and less parts are wrapped around your teeth. The average length of normal incisors is generally10 ~12 mm. After gingival degeneration, its length can be changed to15 ~17 mm. Like skin, collagen fibers in gums will gradually lose with age.
6. The veins stood out and spots appeared on the back of the hand
Because there is little fat in the hand and there is not enough tissue support, the skin is easily thinned, leading to venous protrusion. In addition, the hand is most exposed to the external environment and is often influenced by the sun, so the elderly are prone to senile plaques.
7. Rough and deformed feet
The elasticity and flexibility of the tendons and ligaments of the foot will gradually decrease with the increase of age, resulting in greater pressure on the bones of the foot and easy deformation. Wearing high heels all the year round is particularly prone to such problems, so wear high heels as little as possible to ensure that the ligaments of the feet can be fully stretched and maintain their elasticity.

Third, anti-aging precautions
1, low temperature health preservation
Low temperature health is to pay attention to diet or room temperature in daily life. The purpose is to keep the human body at a relatively low temperature, which can reduce the metabolic rate of cells and thus delay aging. In fact, many health books advocate that women should keep their body surface at high temperature to ensure their health, but in fact, women need "low temperature health" more. Because women are yin, including all liquid substances in women's bodies, such as saliva, blood, digestive juice, tears, female private parts secretions and so on. Therefore, it is more necessary to nourish negative substances. Moreover, women are prone to yin deficiency, showing symptoms such as hand, foot and heart heat; And "low temperature health preservation" can lower body temperature, nourish yin, restore the balance of yin and yang, and gradually reduce the discomfort caused by yin deficiency until it disappears.
The essence of low-temperature health preservation lies in diet:
(1) Don't eat too hot food. The cooking temperature of food is low calorie. Pay attention to low-temperature cooking.
(2) Don't eat too hot and dry food, and the three-meal recipe favors slightly cooler food.
(3) Eat moderately and eat seven points full.
(4) It is best to drink cold water. Pay attention to replenish water every day.
Note: But keeping healthy at low temperature does not mean keeping women cold all the time. In such a cold day, short skirts and stockings do not represent low-temperature health preservation. To sum up, we should pay attention to warm clothes and negative diet so as to be healthy and stay young for a long time!
2, mobilize the vitality of the brain
Women's aging begins in three places: the large intestine, the chest and the brain. Around the age of 30, the level of estrogen in women gradually decreased, gradually losing its due balance, and some aging symptoms also appeared. Our brains will also start to age and lose weight. After leaving school and putting down their textbooks, many women don't think as deeply as before. Some housewives, in particular, lose their creative thinking and slow down their brain activities because of repetitive monotonous housework activities.
To keep your brain alive, you can actually pay attention to:
(1) Chew slowly with your teeth to keep your brain from getting old. Because when teeth chew food, the blood flow to the brain will increase obviously, which can ensure the blood supply to the brain and maintain normal thinking activities.
(2) Increasing hobbies, such as learning musical instruments, can make the brain control several muscles to work in harmony, which is an elegant brain-benefiting exercise.
(3) Talking to yourself or chatting every day is helpful to stimulate the connection between brain nerve cells, promote brain thinking and delay the gradual aging of the brain, just like doing "health exercises" for the brain.
Step 3 go to bed early and get up early
Sleep is undoubtedly the best way to see the eyes, and it is also the best way to supplement blood gas. Many beautiful women sleep outside. During sleep, all parts and functions of the body are in a state of balance, and full cultivation is helpful to delay the arrival of aging. On the other hand, staying up late is a catalyst for aging, so if you want to maintain a beautiful posture of youth and get rid of annoying dark circles, you must keep the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early!
However, lack of sleep will affect work and study, physical and mental health and cause various diseases, but too much sleep is also harmful. People who can't get up in the morning often have poor sleep quality. Just thinking in bed will consume a lot of brain energy substances such as oxygen, glucose and amino acids. This will cause brain malnutrition, fatigue, listlessness and so on. It will make people lazy and lazy for a long time.
There are actually many disadvantages of staying up late. Many times, because the doors and windows are closed at night, the air in the bedroom is turbid in the morning, and the contents of harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, dust particles and pathogenic microorganisms increase. At this time, if you sleep with doors and windows closed, you will undoubtedly be affected by polluted air, which will contribute to the occurrence and development of respiratory diseases such as colds, coughs and bronchial asthma and affect immune function. Might as well get up early in the morning, do some exercise and have a nutritious breakfast, so that the immune function can be effectively adjusted and improved. It is also more conducive to maintaining physical vitality.
4. diet.
Eating too much will not only make you out of shape, but also make you more prone to aging! Obesity is far more harmful than you think. Because overeating will increase the load of internal organs, especially the heart and stomach. The heart is responsible for delivering fresh blood to the body. Once its function is damaged, all parts of our body will become depressed and depressed because of insufficient blood supply, and our body will naturally show old age. Fat cells not only produce a lot of hormones that cause diabetes, but also produce a substance called protoplasm, which can promote cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sclerosis. Beautiful women need a rich and delicate heart, but also a healthy heart! So, don't wait until the signs of aging come out before you start to pay attention to your heart!
Therefore, in order to be healthy, we should control our diet, eat only 70% full, or eat less and more meals.
(1) It is better to eat coarse grains, and eat more coarse grains. Eight things that are most harmful to health after a meal and four things that you should never do when you get up in the morning.
(2) Avoid excessive carbohydrates. Especially for dinner, it is best not to eat carbohydrate food. Don't ignore vegetables with high starch content and high carbohydrate content.
(3) Avoid drinking too much carbonated drinks, fruit juice drinks and alcohol. Except freshly squeezed juice.
(4) Avoid satiety and fatty acids, such as French fries, margarine, candy, cakes and other foods, and take olive oil as the main edible oil.
5. Natural restoration method
People in China pay attention to health preservation and the natural laws of health preservation. Chinese medicine advocates adjusting diet, taking more rest and taking less medicine.
(1) Get into the habit of taking a nap and work regularly.
(2) Eat seasonal food and have a balanced diet. Traditional Chinese medicine says that grains are tonic, five fruits are helpful, five animals are beneficial, and five dishes are tonic. The types of food you eat should be balanced, and you can't be partial to food, picky eaters or overeating. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that it is most beneficial to choose local and seasonal food according to people, time and place.
(3) Chinese medicine has a saying that "long-term vision hurts blood, long-term standing hurts bones, long-term walking hurts tendons, long-term lying hurts gas, and sedentary hurts meat". Doing an action for a long time will definitely hurt the muscles and bones that support this action. Therefore, we advocate dynamic rest, that is, changing posture frequently to exercise. Chinese medicine advocates a good way of exercise: slow, relaxed, sustained, dynamic and static coordinated, step by step exercise, such as Tai Chi, yoga, walking.
Aging is something we must face, but as long as we can find suitable health care methods and stick to it, aging will be delayed and our health will be better protected.
