Aging is a simple and unavoidable fact of life. However, we all age differently and in our own ways. What some people do not fully understand is that it is possible for some to age a bit faster than others. This, of course, is natural too, but it is important to know why this happens. With some factors being genetic and others purely based on lifestyle, here is why some people age faster than others.

However, we all age differently and in our own ways.
What some people do not fully understand is that it
is possible for some to age a bit faster than others.
With some factors being genetic and others purely
based on lifestyle, here is why some people age
faster than others
HEALTHY AGING
GENETICS AND LIFESTYLE

3. Studies have shown that people with thicker skin show fewer
signs of aging. Dr. Liotta explains having thicker the dermis
means cells are more densely packed together and more
compact, making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.
DNA determines whether you were born with thick skin and
typically people with more melanin-rich skin like Hispanics,
Mediterraneans, Asian-Americans, and African-Americans
more likely to have thicker skin. Thicker skin showing fewer
wrinkles is also the reason people tend to see more wrinkles
on their forehead or under the eyes since that is the skin is
thinnest.
THINNER SKIN
THIS DOESN’T MEAN TAKING CONSTRUCTIVE
CRITICISM BETTER THAN OTHERS.

4. NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER
Aging does not have to solely depend on genetics. Someone can look much
younger on the outside but are aging fast on the inside. Often times, those who
are not drinking enough water are not aging as gracefully as others. Water will
keep the brain more hydrated and healthier. The older people get, the more
difficult it is to absorb nutrients in the gut, which is why staying hydrated can lead
to a healthier gut, too. By always drinking water and staying hydrated, people are
less likely to feel the signs of aging such as fatigue, foggy thinking, headaches, and
constipation.

5. UNDER-ACTIVE
BRAIN
IT ISN’T JUST ABOUT AGING PHYSICALLY,
BUT MENTALLY AS WELL.
Studies have shown that, while neurons remain
finite, brainy activities stimulate new connections
between nerve cells and have the potential to
generate new cells.
This type of activity for the brain helps it develop
neurological “plasticity” to build up a functional
reserve that provides a hedge against future cell loss.
This can be achieved through doing word puzzles,
math problems, or anything that requires manual
dexterity as well as mental effort.
