skin aging process

No matter how old you are, you may be asking yourself 'How long will I live? " or 'How long will I live well? " Interestingly, in view of efforts to document the oldest person on Earth for some time until now. As a result the number of people aged over 100 years is very, very small.

Aging Process
Naturally, our body will deteriorate with age body. In subsequent years, many important functions begin to operate at a level that is not optimal. There are three main factors that affect the body's aging process. First, when we get older, the number of daily errors caused by cell reproduction increases. Body into forming new cells, but the new formation of cells that do not work for the body. And with the more advanced age, percentage of body cells which are not useful this becomes greater. Under certain conditions (worse), sometimes useless cells / This function does not actually interfere with normal cellular processes. The second part of the aging process associated with cell damage that causes the shortening of DNA.

Process called apoptosis or eventually trigger a programmed cell death. Over time, a healthy increase in DNA damage causes cell death is accelerated, and our old bodies can not produce cells fast enough to compensate. This process is most visible and obvious in our skin, our old skin becomes thinner. The third part of the aging process is to involve the natural decline in function / quality of the oxidative enzymes in our body such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione perxoidase, this makes us less efficient antioxidant defense with aging.

Free radicals
So how do we age? The most prominent theory accepted by the scientific community is "Free Radical Theory of Freedom." Free radicals are molecules with one electron in the outermost orbit which really need to pair up with other things (elements) which have electron. With an average life one-billion-per-second, the electron is very powerful to override our body. By attacking cell DNA, free radicals destroy the cell, causing healthy cells to die prematurely. When we were young, our natural antioxidant defense system which is functioning well with "clean up" free radicals before they can cause damage. However, when we age, antioxidant defense system becomes less efficient due to reduced oxidative enzyme. Increased free-radical damage on a regular basis and also trigger the symptoms of many diseases of aging. Why our cells become vulnerable to free radical damage? First, daily energy production by mitochondria of cells to produce increased amount of free radicals as a byproduct. The second reason is because the use of core DNA to make mRNA that produces the protein, followed by repairing and roll back into the chromosomal DNA. This activity often leads to errors in the process of repair, and damage would damage the DNA. External free radical attack are also influential. This attack comes from the sun (including UVA and UVB rays), pollution, stress, smoking, etc.. Smoking one cigarette produces trillions of free radicals.

Aging Skin
You may be surprised to know that, every day each skin cells can be exposed to more than 73,000 damage attack. Our skin cells experience more severe damage because they are part of the external and internal organs exposed directly. Free radicals are unstable molecules vibrate in the skin, after years of attacks these free radicals, each collagen, which is an important structural element of the skin, become weaker and eventually collapse and cause the skin to form wrinkles. Over time our skin becomes thinner and thinner. Basically, the more and thicker skin cells so the healthier your skin, and the fewer wrinkles you will get.

Slowing the aging process.
Now, how do we slow aging? From the results of the study the scientists for years, experts have concluded that you need to protect your DNA from both outside and inside. So, if you want to live to 100 years or at least improve your quality of life, his tips, you must change your lifestyle which is more healthy (balanced diet, exercise teratus, positive attitude). Use a "From the inside out" to health and beauty.
