      • Slide 1 of 21: How you age is mostly up to your genetics, but there are also a number of factors that can influence how quickly it happens. Here are 20 behaviours that can actually accelerate the aging process, and how to avoid them.

    Not Drinking enough water ages you fast

    • Slide 2 of 21: Smoking deprives the skin of oxygen, and can lead to the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, as well as deep forehead wrinkles.

      Smoking deprives the skin of oxygen, and can lead to the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, as well as deep forehead wrinkles.

    • Slide 3 of 21: While some research has found that moderate alcohol consumption has a protective benefit, there are just as many that show it can help accelerate the signs of aging. As well, more than one drink a day is associated with a decrease in lifespan, and can lead to neurodegenerative decline, increased body fat, and sleep problems.

      While some research has found that moderate alcohol consumption has a protective benefit, there are just as many that show it can help accelerate the signs of aging. As well, more than one drink a day is associated with a decrease in lifespan, and can lead to neurodegenerative decline, increased body fat, and sleep problems.

    • Slide 4 of 21: Sun damage is the No. 1 cause of wrinkles, with tanning being particularly harmful. Always apply a moisturizer with SPF to help keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays.

      Tanning

      Sun damage is the No. 1 cause of wrinkles, with tanning being particularly harmful. Always apply a moisturizer with SPF to help keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays.

    • Slide 5 of 21: While we know that a diet high in sugar isn’t good for our health, it’s also bad for our skin. When you eat sugar, it damages the collagen and elastin in your skin, leading to wrinkles as well as dry and loose skin.

      Eating too much sugar

      While we know that a diet high in sugar isn’t good for our health, it’s also bad for our skin. When you eat sugar, it damages the collagen and elastin in your skin, leading to wrinkles as well as dry and loose skin.

    • Slide 6 of 21: As skin ages, it loses its elasticity, so weight fluctuations can result in loose skin. Try to maintain a steady weight to avoid the appearance of aging.

      Going through weight fluctuations

      As skin ages, it loses its elasticity, so weight fluctuations can result in loose skin. Try to maintain a steady weight to avoid the appearance of aging.

    • Slide 7 of 21: Another way that weight can affect aging is in your appearance. Being underweight reduces the natural fats in the facial structure, while too much weight can create poor muscle tone, among other health issues. Both of these extremes lead to an older appearance.

      Being too thin/heavy

      Another way that weight can affect aging is in your appearance. Being underweight reduces the natural fats in the facial structure, while too much weight can create poor muscle tone, among other health issues. Both of these extremes lead to an older appearance.

    • Slide 8 of 21: Fruits and vegetables contain a number of antioxidants that help in the appearance of youthful skin. By not getting enough in your daily diet, you are essentially accelerating the aging process.

        • Slide 9 of 21: Chronic stress is one of the things that accelerates aging the most, and results in increased facial wrinkles. It also affects the choices we make relating to diet and exercise, which can have a direct impact on our appearance.

          • Living with chronic stress

            Chronic stress is one of the things that accelerates aging the most, and results in increased facial wrinkles. It also affects the choices we make relating to diet and exercise, which can have a direct impact on our appearance.

        • Slide 10 of 21: Research has found that depression makes you age faster by accelerating brain shrinkage. Take your mental health seriously and seek treatment for low mood as soon as you notice something’s off.

          Ignoring depression

          Research has found that depression makes you age faster by accelerating brain shrinkage. Take your mental health seriously and seek treatment for low mood as soon as you notice something’s off.

        • Being antisocial

          Studies show that having a strong social network can help ease the aging process. By being antisocial, you’re missing out on the health benefits of friendships.

          Slide 12 of 21: A daily “cuppa joe” isn’t likely to affect your aging too much, but excess caffeine intake lowers dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone that keeps appearance youthful and helps to reduce inflammation.

          Getting too much caffeine

          A daily “cuppa joe” isn’t likely to affect your aging too much, but excess caffeine intake lowers dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone that keeps appearance youthful and helps to reduce inflammation.

           

        •  

          Slide 13 of 21: Every night your delicate facial skin spends seven to nine hours pressed against your pillowcase. Cheap cotton cases restrict your skin from smoothly moving. Opt for a higher thread count or silk pillowcase for a more beautiful night’s rest.

      Every night your delicate facial skin spends seven to nine hours pressed against your pillowcase. Cheap cotton cases restrict your skin from smoothly moving. Opt for a higher thread count or silk pillowcase for a more beautiful night’s rest.

       

       

       

        • Slide 15 of 21: Not only are plastic straws bad for the environment, they’re bad for your health. Using a straw to drink can lead to lip lines and wrinkles surrounding your mouth, so sip your beverages right from the glass to reduce the aging impact.

        • Slide 16 of 21: The sun’s UV rays can not only damage your skin, they can damage your eyes as well. This can lead to a host of problems such as cancer and cataracts, not to mention fine lines around the eyes. Wear your sunglasses—even on cloudy days—for best protection.

        • Slide 17 of 21: Not exercising is one of the fastest ways to age your body. Challenge your balance to help prevent falls as you age, and add bone-saving and muscle-building resistance training into your schedule to reap the health benefits.

        • Slide 18 of 21: Your mouth and teeth are one of the most visible areas of aging, so don’t skip out on your brushing sessions. Brush twice daily, floss, and see your dentist at least once a year to keep your pearly whites looking their best.

      Your mouth and teeth are one of the most visible areas of aging, so don’t skip out on your brushing sessions. Brush twice daily, floss, and see your dentist at least once a year to keep your pearly whites looking their best.

        • Slide 19 of 21: Research shows that eating a diet that’s too high in fat (or too low) can accelerate the aging process by putting oxidative stress on your cells and making skin lose its lustre. Stick to a diet with moderate fat intake—and prioritize good fats—for best results.

      Eating too much/too little fat

      Research shows that eating a diet that’s too high in fat (or too low) can accelerate the aging process by putting oxidative stress on your cells and making skin lose its lustre. Stick to a diet with moderate fat intake—and prioritize good fats—for best results.

        • Slide 20 of 21: It can be a catch-22 as people wear makeup to help them look younger, but it can actually make you look older as it strips the skin of its natural oils and clogs the pores. Be sure to remove makeup and wash your face before hitting the sheets for the night.

      • Slide 14 of 21: Your daily posture can affect how you age, with “tech neck” affecting younger and younger people. Constantly leaning your head over your cell phone, laptop, or other device rounds the upper back and can lead to arthritis.

        Your daily posture can affect how you age, with “tech neck” affecting younger and younger people. Constantly leaning your head over your cell phone, laptop, or other device rounds the upper back and can lead to arthritis.
