Dr. Yan Zuohua, Doctor of Health Management in L'excellence Medical Beauty, said that the new concept of skin care should be taken into account from the inside out. Because of the differences of individual innate genes, acquired living habits and contact environment, the differences of individual aging situation will be reflected, so the concept of conservation must also be changed, which is different from the previous treatment limited to symptoms. Modern advocates the concept of integrated medical care, taking into account internal and external health conditions, emphasizing personalized and precise medical care, and paying attention to the recovery and maintenance of physical functions. Before choosing the maintenance method that suits you, I suggest you know the following points and establish the correct maintenance method:
Understand the causes of skin aging
Dr. Yan Zuohua said that generally speaking, the most direct and irreversible influencing factor is age. With the growth of age, the hormones in our body will change, the ability to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid will gradually weaken, and the ability of cell metabolism will also decline. In addition, exposure to the environment that will age the skin will make the skin's repair ability worse and worse, and problems such as fine lines, roughness and spots will gradually appear.
In addition, genetic differences are also an important influencing factor. Different genes will affect skin repair and anti-aging performance, such as water retention capacity, collagen metabolism rate, resistance to free radical attack and ultraviolet radiation, skin allergy and so on. And these abilities will have different performances under the influence of genes.
Carefully choose the skin care products that suit you, and accurately resist aging.
Facing the exquisite skin care products on the market, the ingredients and formulas are also varied. Only by choosing skin care products suitable for your skin and physique can you maintain them effectively, otherwise it may cause harm to your skin. Therefore, it is a preparation for consumers to evaluate their own situation and choose skin care products.
Dr. Yan Zuohua said that you can first understand your own characteristics through genetic testing. At present, there are more than 4000 genes related to human skin. Through the means of skin gene detection, we can help to understand our innate skin quality, advantages and disadvantages, and then cooperate with professional doctors to evaluate and strengthen our weaknesses, so as to accurately find the most suitable maintenance method for ourselves.
Internal aging index of the body: telomere
Telomere is located at the end of cell chromosome, and its function is to protect the integrity of chromosome. With the growth of age, every time a cell divides, telomeres will be shortened until there is no way to protect chromosomes, and cells will go to apoptosis, which is the reason for the aging of the body.
However, Dr. Yan Zuohua said that the length of telomeres can actually be maintained or even improved through good living habits, and healthy life planning is the way to fight aging. Telomere index detection, which is very popular now, can help to understand the age of body cells, and then have the opportunity to delay telomere shortening and live a healthy youth from the inside out in the following ways.
Exercise:
Proper aerobic exercise can prolong telomeres, and it is recommended to take 45 minutes three times a week. If you don't like aerobic exercise, you can also try high-intensity interval training popular in recent two years.
Mediterranean diet:
People who often eat beans, nuts, seaweed, fruits and dairy products have longer telomeres. Antioxidant foods help maintain telomeres, such as citrus, berries, apples, plums, carrots, leafy vegetables and tomatoes.
Omega -3:
Proper omega-3 fatty acids have a good effect on maintaining telomeres. You can eat omega -3 skin care products or fish oil, and you can also eat food such as fatty fish, drupe, flaxseed, flaxseed oil and leafy vegetables.
Relieve stress and keep an optimistic attitude;
When stress comes, it will show anxiety, fear, anxiety and other reactions, making telomeres shorter; Relatively speaking, with excitement, confidence and hope, telomeres will be longer. So as long as we face the challenge optimistically, our bodies will be healthier and younger.
In addition to making appropriate adjustments in daily life, we should also cooperate with the consultation and suggestions of professional medical teams, provide personalized health management services according to health conditions and examination results, and find out the most accurate and effective skin care and maintenance methods to fight against physical aging.
