If you have one of these seven habits, you are destined to be ten years older than your peers

Staying young forever is the dream of many girls. It is not difficult to realize the dream. You just need to develop good living habits. However, you should be careful to avoid the following bad habits.

1. Sitting for a long time

Studies have found that sitting for long periods of time slows down metabolism, and if this continues for a long time, one is more likely to face the threat of high blood pressure and diabetes. In contrast, people who get up and move around every once in a while are less likely to develop metabolic syndrome.

Psychologists say that even if you go to the gym every day, but spend all your other time sitting in a chair, it can still be considered sedentary. It is recommended that office workers develop the habit of standing at all times, such as standing to make phone calls or attend meetings; after sitting for a long time, they should stand up to expand their chest, stretch their waist, and move their neck.

2. Lack of sleep

Lack of sleep may reduce the body's ability to regulate glucose, while reducing leptin secretion and increasing ghrelin secretion, making people more likely to feel hungry and indirectly causing abnormal fat metabolism. It is recommended to get at least 7 hours of sleep every day.

3. Not washing hands frequently

Adenovirus is a common virus that can infect the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and other organs. It can cause cell metabolic dysfunction and is often transmitted through coughing, sneezing and unclean hands. Therefore, washing hands frequently can avoid the risk of viral infection and protect metabolism.

4. Always drink too much

Excessive alcohol intake can put a burden on the liver, leading to lower metabolism and more prone to fat accumulation. However, a study by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, the United States, found that drinking a small amount of low-alcohol wine can speed up blood circulation and promote metabolism. Therefore, avoid drinking too much. Drinking wine in moderation can help your metabolism.

5. Not washing fruits and vegetables carefully before eating

The toxic substances contained in pesticide-contaminated foods will be stored in fat cells after being ingested into the body, interfering with energy metabolism and slowing down the metabolic rate.

It is recommended that when washing fruits and vegetables, the best way is to rub them under running water for half a minute. You can also add some flour to the water, soak and rub them before rinsing. It is best to rinse leafy vegetables several times.

6. Diet is too "refined"

Always eating refined rice, refined noodles, cakes, biscuits and other processed foods will lead to vitamin B and E deficiency, and will reduce the intake of trace elements such as potassium, zinc and iron, thereby affecting the body's metabolism.

Foods high in high-quality protein, such as fish, shrimp, beans, etc., can promote metabolism. Whole grains such as oats and buckwheat are rich in dietary fiber, which can lower cholesterol, clean the stomach and intestines, and help maintain normal metabolism.

7. Never eat spicy food

Studies have shown that capsaicin in chili peppers stimulates metabolism, speeds up the activity of body cells, and helps control weight. You may want to eat some spicy food regularly according to your taste, such as chili, mustard, pepper, etc.

It is best to eat some cool foods when eating spicy food, such as duck meat, fish, bitter gourd, lotus root, etc., which can clear away heat, promote body fluid, nourish yin and moisten dryness. It should be noted that people with yin deficiency constitution, real heat constitution and other conditions that are prone to getting angry should eat chili peppers in moderation.
