Wrinkles are a normal part of life that everyone can expect to experience as they age. The process of aging is largely shaped by personal genetic factors and environmental variables such as sun exposure and pollution levels. There are many other issues, however, that can affect the results and speed of the aging process just as much, if not more.
People lead very hectic lives that often leave little room for proper diet and exercise, let alone time to relax. Careers, school, children, social lives, and family responsibilities task practically every waking moment of each day and can result in skin that look much older than it really is. Even when a person makes time for healthy activities and meals, if the stress level is not reduced, the cells in the body can continue to age in an untimely manner.
Chronic stress has been proven damaging to our health in many ways. Studies have actually shown that the structures at the end of our chromosomes, which shorten as we age – called telomeres, also shorten in people who suffer from chronic psychological stress. This shows that premature aging of the cells can be brought about by situations of long-term stress. Cell deterioration is directly responsible for shortening life span. Keep in mind that aside from skin looking wrinkled, internal organs are more susceptible to disease and rapid aging reduces brain function as well.
Keeping stress under control is a worthy endeavor and should include overall healthy lifestyle practices. By learning to reduce stress by keeping life in perspective and to prioritize activities and responsibilities, a person can go a long way in eliminating the negative effects of stress on the aging of their skin. When a person feels less stressed, they typically have an easier time sleeping and maintaining motivation to exercise and eat healthy foods. It is certainly worth the effort to reduce the amount of stress you are experiencing in your life.
Many techniques can be employed to reduce stress, and yoga is a very popular one. By concentrated and focused breathing, yoga works to rid stressful thoughts from your mind while you place all of your effort on holding your body in specific moves. Bubble baths and reading are also effective ways to unwind and regain perspective, while some people prefer to spend time with family and friends. Whatever it is that helps you to eliminate chronic stress, just make sure you set aside some time to do it and you will see almost immediate improvement of your stress-induced wrinkles.
