We all repeat the same ingrained thing every day, without even knowing it accelerates aging.

What woman doesn’t want to stay young and beautiful for as long as possible? Of course, men do not really want to grow old, especially when there are so many young girls around. However, the current generation of people can be called “old young”. What causes premature aging in our daily habits? About this today and will tell the editors "Site".



If earlier the average age of customers of cosmetic offices was 45+, today this figure is half less. What causes such early aging of the skin and the body as a whole? All kinds of diets and fitness, cosmetic procedures and skin care. Humanity is subjected to various tortures only to preserve youth and beauty. That’s just we do not pay attention to the things that are detrimental to health that we do every day.



Recently, Professor of the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Oregon Jadwig Gibultovich announced the discovery. It turns out that LEDs, which are equipped with our gadgets and light devices, accelerate the aging process of the body. Especially the aging process is affected by the blue light that the devices emit. Moreover, not only skin cells suffer from this light, but also fat cells and sensory neuron cells. That is, the longer we spend time in the monitor and the screen of the phone, the more stress our cells get. And the faster they wear out and die.



The Peels study has not yet been conducted in humans. And so far only on fruit flies, which react to some stimuli in the same way as humans. During the study, the flies were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to blue light from energy-saving lamps for two weeks. The second group of flies was in complete darkness. Due to exposure to bright light, genes responsible for safety from stress began to be produced more intensively. The body of the flies was in a constant intensive state, which led to their premature death.



Peels: Succinate is essential for the production of fuel for the function and growth of each cell. The high level of succinate after exposure to blue light can be compared to the gas in the pump, but does not enter the machine, explained Professor Gibultovich. Another disturbing finding was that molecules responsible for communication between neurons, such as glutamate, are at lower levels after exposure to blue light.



Peels Scientist hopes to continue to investigate this problem. Just in front of people. During the study, the flies were exposed to a very strong blue color. Therefore, damage to the cellular level occurred in the shortest possible time. Screens of phones, tablets, computers and other gadgets emit much less blue color. This, of course, does not so dramatically affect the aging of the human body. But the more time a person spends peering at the monitor, the greater the dose of blue he gets for his skin.



Therefore, to avoid premature aging, you need not only to eat right and take care of your skin. You need to spend as much time as possible outdoors and communicate with family and friends in reality, not on social networks on your phone. How do you slow down the aging process in your body?
