How To Prevent And Repair Aging
Aging is an inevitable and unavoidable phenomenon in every person’s life. Though we all like to look fresh and young forever, aging will tiptoe in to our lives with time. We have to take this change sportingly or else it will be a cause of depression for us. In other words, time will play its menacing role on us and there is no respite from this. But for some people aging takes place prematurely and this can bring much distress in to their lives. The factors triggering premature aging include excessive sun exposure (photo-aging), dry skin, poor sleep, alcohol abuse, stress, poor nutrition, inactivity, allergies, exposure to toxic chemicals and metallic substances, Werner’s syndrome (a genetic disorder), excessive exposure to cold weather etc. Aging includes the following signs and symptoms:
