9 foods that may make your face look old

Young Age But Face Looks Old, 9 Foods May Be the Cause

When we grow up, each of us will naturally take care of our appearance as best as possible, whether to meet the beauty standard in society or for our own satisfaction.

Sometimes there are also some people who are seen as more mature than their age, causing confusion.

Maybe someone has experienced it, even though they are only in their 20s but they are considered old when they look at their faces. It's really painful to face, especially when you have to be reprimanded in front of people. Either way, the face looks old maybe because the skin is dull, not radiant and various other problems.

However, did you know that diet is also one of the causes of the face looking old from age? There are 9 foods that may be the cause of skin that looks older than age.

1. Sweet, sugary

As is known, frequent consumption of sweet and sugary foods can affect health if it is not well controlled. Worse, it can also cause you to look older than your actual age with the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.

Therefore, you need to limit sweet and sugary foods such as donuts covered in cream, cakes and sweets.

2. Alcohol

For the uninitiated, drinking alcohol in excess can accelerate the aging process.

Not only that, it is also very dangerous to the liver because its toxins can cause various wrinkle problems, as well as reduce skin elasticity.

3. Salt

Don't be unaware that foods that contain high amounts of salt are foods that cause the face to look old. Chips, potatoes and canned food are examples of foods high in sodium.

Salt will retain water and the effect can be seen in puffy eyes.

4. Burning Effect

There is no denying that many of us like to eat baked or grilled dishes. However, you need to avoid eating parts that have black spots that are burnt.

Also called charred or black char, it contains pro-inflammatory hydrocarbons that can cause collagen in the skin to be damaged.

5. Processed Meat

Meanwhile, regularly eating processed foods will also cause a person's face to look older.

This includes foods such as sausage, bacon or burger meat that have a lot of sulfites (sulfides) and other preservatives that can trigger inflammation in the skin and accelerate aging.

6. Red Meat

As we know, we need collagen to get younger, healthier and more elastic skin.

Therefore, eating red meat such as beef in excess can actually hinder the process of collagen production in the body.

7. Fried Food

Many people really like it, fried food such as potatoes and fried chicken is indeed one of the main causes of facial aging problems.

Any food fried in oil can increase inflammation throughout the body including the skin.

8. Spicy Food

Some may think that spicy food is good for health but you have to know that it can also make you look older than your age. Especially for women who are experiencing menopause.

More worryingly, individuals suffering from rosacea, which is a condition that causes red skin, will be more at risk when eating spicy foods. This is because it will worsen the condition of a person's skin.

9. Caffeine

Not only that, caffeinated drinks are also one of the causes because they are diuretic. It rejects or removes water from the body which can cause dehydration and reduce body moisture.

That condition can cause damage to the skin and make you look older.

The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Division (NPRA), Ministry of Health (KKM) Malaysia has canceled the notification of six cosmetic products because they were found to contain scheduled poisons.

The products in question are Flashhskinzz Moist Sunscreen, Serene Treatment Cream, Tempias Hawa Master Recovery Skin Rskin and Karisma Preventing Day Cream, which each contain mercury.

In addition, two other cosmetic products involved are SL Two Turmeric which contains mercury and Betamethasone 17-Valerate and SL Two Bird's Nest (Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Betamethasone 17-Valerate).

Mercury is prohibited in cosmetic products because it can be harmful to health, causing damage to the kidneys and nervous system and can interfere with the brain development of young children or fetuses.

For products containing hydroquinone, tretinoin and betamethasone 17-valerate, the product is a drug that must be registered with the Drug Control Authority and should only be used with the advice of a health professional.

Hydroquinone can cause redness on the applied skin, discomfort, unwanted skin color changes, the skin becomes hypersensitive, can inhibit the pigmentation process (depigmentation) which reduces the skin's protection from harmful ultra violet rays (UV) and can increase the risk of skin cancer.

In addition, unsupervised use of tretinoin can cause redness, discomfort, soreness, peeling, and hypersensitivity to the applied skin.

Betamethasone 17-valerate can cause the part of the facial skin that is applied to become thin and prone to irritation, acne, changes in skin pigmentation and increase the risk of being absorbed into the blood circulation system which can have harmful effects.

The body's immune system and sleep quality increase

There was a 15% increase in the body's immune function, a 50% increase in sleep quality and a 30% reduction in depressive symptoms.

While people who did not reduce their use of social media did not show any change.

Meanwhile, people who were asked to make no changes spent longer on their social media, up by 10 minutes.

More surprisingly people who were asked to do nothing but social media increased their use by 25 minutes a day.

bug repellant is not for cockroaches

Cockroaches are often a weapon for amateurs to deal with the threat of cockroaches in the house. Available in a variety of options, shapes and colors, bug repellant is believed to be effective in warding off these uninvited guests.

With its very strong smell, bed bug medicine is usually placed in a hidden space or crevice, for example in a closet, cabinet or under the bed.

It is also an option, again 'amateur', as a 'perfumer' to get rid of unpleasant odors in the bathroom or toilet.

But, does the flea medicine work to get rid of cockroaches? Is its effectiveness proven or do we just buy it because many people say it works? One more thing, what does a moth mean?

So if it's not for cockroaches, what kind of insect is the bedbug medicine for?

As its name suggests, this type of poison is suitable for insects called Gegat. Ever heard of an insect called gegat?

Gegat or his other name is Silverfish or bookworm. Most people often mistake this insect for a centipede.

Maybe some have never seen this insect, but in fact there are many of them in our home area. It can be said that the number is the same as cockroaches.

This insect is a pest in the Crawling Insect Pest category. Although this insect is not poisonous, but it can damage many things that are close to our house.

Bedbugs like to live in humid and cool areas. Not only that, it can eat various materials such as fabric, wood, wallpaper, food waste and so on.

One of the most common places where these insects are found is in old books. This insect is said to like the glue part of the paper and frozen part the most.

Furthermore, this silverfish is reported to move fast and is good at sneaking, just like a spy. These small insects are difficult to defeat, if we only use aerosol sprayers like the usual method.

Pesticides are not 'cures' for cockroaches

This medicine is made from Dchlorobenzina or Naphthalene (Naphtalene, C10H8). Both types of these materials are types of fuel.

The smell produced from this moth medicine is actually a gas that is the result of the sublimation process of this substance.

This material will carry out the sublimation process and the gas from the process will be spread throughout the nearby area.

Usually, this moth or silverfish will be affected by this gas, even if this insect hides near the folds of clothes or paper in storage.

In addition to moths, this medicine also has an effect on several other insects such as butterflies and houseflies. No wonder, if this moth medicine is called 'mothball' among English speakers.

The effect of flea medicine on cockroaches?

In fact, the gas from this insecticide does not have a significant effect on cockroaches. This is because this insect that humans hate the most has immunity to poison. That's why, cockroaches can just eat this medicine.

If you don't believe it, try putting this medicine on. Look at the number of cockroaches.

The use of this medicine is actually not very good for our health. Especially for people with G6PD disease.

His effect on food is quite strong. That's why when we put flea medicine near food storage, the food will have a slight taste and smell of flea medicine.

Not only that, this annoying animal also 'bequeaths' that resistance to its children.

It may be, this may also be a reason that can support the claims of some who have seen cockroaches eat medicine without any problems.

Drug users are not good for human health

The use of this medicine is actually not very good for our health. Especially, for those suffering from G6PD (Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) disease.

This substance can cause excessive hemolysis experienced by the baby. However, babies with G6PD disease will experience more severe haemolytic anemia.

Hemolysis can occur in these babies even just by dressing them in clothes kept in a drawer containing bug repellants.

Therefore, as a preventive measure, parents are advised to avoid using mosquito repellent if there are babies under 3 years old at home.
