Physical aging is a disease that can be stopped, slowed down, and even reversed. For a healthy, youthful skin at all times…
If life is a gift given to all of us once, every moment we live is valuable. Physical aging is the result of cellular wear and tear due to external factors and accelerated cell death, and is basically explained by the "free radical theory". In summary, external factors such as UV, smoking, unhealthy diet, alcohol, air pollution, exposure to radiation and a stressful life away from physical exercise disrupt the healing-repair mechanisms at the cellular level and lead to an increase in free radicals. Free radicals are the archenemy of DNA in the cell nucleus and cause DNA degradation and premature cell death. We call the increase in cell death and decrease in the production of new healthy cells "aging". Our skin is the mirror of the aging process. Born on the same day and exposed to different physical ageants, UV, cigarettes, alcohol, radiation, etc. A dermatologist can easily tell which physical diseases two exposed individuals are prone to, their habits and what kind of life they lead, just by examining their skin. So our skin tells our real body age, it tells you…
Dermatology Specialist Dr. What does Özge Banu Öztürk Başsoy recommend for a healthy young skin and body?
Avoid intense sun exposure!
Aging can be slowed down, stopped and youth can be prolonged. If 90% of skin aging is caused by UV, the best anti-aging is actually "correct sun protection"... Love your own skin, protect it from the sun and avoid tanning. So you can always have young, bright, firm, blemish-free skin.
“Don't blush. Do not sleep under the sun between 10.30-16.00. The rash is actually a first-degree sunburn. Sunburns are the most important risk factor for spots and skin cancers!”
“Stay in the shade and cool places, sun-derived infrared rays cause loss of elasticity in the skin and increase in vascular diseases due to the heat effect on the tissues.”
“Sun every day. Apply your protective cream at least 2 times with an interval of 4 hours to prevent the formation of sunspots. Without applying sunscreen until 09.30 in the morning and after 18.00 in the afternoon Sunbathing will also prevent vitamin D deficiency.”
Every high dose of UV we receive initiates the early death of millions of cells in our skin, our largest organ, with the "free radical theory". As skin cells die, the production of new healthy cells is prevented. In addition, our skin is our largest immune system organ and the decrease in healthy immune cells suppresses general immunity. General immune suppression invites diseases of the entire system.
The World Health Organization attributes the increased frequency of some diseases such as tuberculosis and cancer to the suppression of general immunity as a result of the depletion of the ozone layer due to global warming and the increase in UV exposure.

Antioxidants are some minerals, proteins and vitamins that prevent the formation of free radicals at the cellular level and protect the cell.
