As the years go by, the body grows more painful, and actual age and body age are different!

Aging happens naturally, but the <speed of aging> can be controlled depending on what you do?!

To welcome the New Year in 2020, let’s check where my body age currently stands and find the <rejuvenation switch> inside my body to learn all about how to turn body age back.

Can body age be reduced?!

Body age refers to the overall health status of various vital functions such as the heart and vascular system, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system. Regardless of calendar age, depending on how you manage yourself, body age can appear 10 years older or, conversely, 10 years younger. You may think the cause of body aging is influenced by genetics, but 25% comes from genes and 75% from environmental factors. In other words, it depends on how you manage yourself in everyday life. Then, let’s find out how old your body age is right now with a test~!

To rejuvenate body age? Body age and skin age are the measures!

It has been confirmed that when the skin is in good condition, the biological age is also young. However, if you suffer from a high fever, heat aging can occur, and heat can further reduce skin elasticity. Here is an easy way to check your skin elasticity.

Take a photo once from above and once from below to check your skin elasticity!

Why does skin sagging occur?

In particular, for middle-aged women, over the five years after menopause, collagen decreases by 30%, reducing skin elasticity. In experiments comparing women with low estrogen (female hormone) and women with high estrogen, a clear difference was observed.

A special tip to turn back skin age, revealed!

1. Lemon water rich in vitamin C

Collagen and moisture are essential components for the skin. To provide moisture, you need to drink plenty of water. While drinking water, it is good to add lemon, which can also replenish vitamins, and drink lemon water. Lemon helps prevent aging and supports collagen formation, which helps skin elasticity. Also, one serving of lemon contains 130% vitamin C, which is beneficial for the skin, so we recommend drinking lemon water.

2. Pomegranate that increases moisture and elasticity

Pomegranate, a beneficial ingredient enjoyed by beauties from East and West, can help lower the body age of middle-aged women. Inside pomegranate is a component called ellagic acid, which acts as a substitute for female hormones. It helps prevent aging through antioxidant effects, removal of active oxygen, and anti-inflammatory action. If you consistently consume the recommended amount of pomegranate, hyaluronic acid improves by about 500%, and collagen-degrading enzymes are inhibited by 98%, preserving skin elastic fibers. It is also especially helpful during menopause and helps prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and skin aging.

Pomegranate helps with dieting and vascular diseases too, so consistently consume the recommended daily amount and return to a younger body age! Don’t worry that men will become more feminine if they eat it—it is also good for men, so please consume it~ But do not eat pomegranate seeds! The recommended daily amount is 1 to 2 fruits when eaten as fruit, and about 70 ml is appropriate for pomegranate juice. Children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers who are sensitive to estrogen hormones should be cautious and consult their primary doctor before consuming it!
