It’s not a secret that women live longer than men. This seems like good news for the females yet there is one thing that they didn’t expect. It turns out that women age faster than men. And it’s no surprise, females, there are plenty of reasons for this....
WOMEN SUFFER FROM STRESS MORE THAN MEN: According to Scientific research, women are more prone to mental breakdowns, especially if they are work-related; besides, the hormonal difference is what explains it all.
Hormone fluctuations are associated with depression. What is more, Seasonal Affective Disorder affects women more than men.
Women often multitask so they do more at the same time, employing mental, emotional and physical strength all the time. Constant stress inevitably leads to early aging.
WOMEN WHO HAVE GIVEN BIRTH AGE FASTER: According to a research, it was proven that pregnancy makes you look 11 years older. The thing is, women who have given birth have shorter telomeres than those who have never had a child.
The shorter your telomeres are the older you look. Telomeres get shorter each time a cell copies itself, but the important DNA stays intact. Eventually, telomeres get too short to do their job, causing female cells to age and stop functioning properly.
Therefore, telomeres act as the aging clock in every cell.
Besides, stress during pregnancy is not uncommon, which also speeds up the aging process of all females during pregnancy.
MALE SKIN ARE THICKER: According to dermatologists, male skin is 25% thicker than female skin. The percentage may vary from person to person but the general figure remains the same .
A man's skin thins gradually with age, while the thickness of a woman's skin remains constant until about the age of fifty and will thin SIGNIFICANTLY after menopause. Collagen density is the ratio of collagen to the thickness of the skin. Men have a higher collagen density than women, regardless of their Age . So their skin tend to be firmer and tighter.
HORMONE LEVELS: Estrogen is responsible for a youthful female face while testosterone is typical in men.
High levels of testosterone slow down aging. Although estrogen also serves as an anti-aging hormone, its production declines faster than that of testosterone. That is why women are the first to get wrinkles.
In developed countries, post menopausal women get hormonal therapy to slow down aging.
MENOPAUSE TAKES TOLL: The loss of hormones during menopause speeds up the aging process. When women go through menopause, their bodies stop producing as much collagen as they used to. This causes the loss of the skin’s elasticity.
Do you believe women age faster than men? Do you look young for your age, females?
HERE'S MY TAKE: WOMEN should limit their stress as much as possible, eat more nutritious foods instead of junks. Fruits and vegetables are great for skin. Sleep well and soundly and use good skin care product, not the harsh ones. Natural skin care products are great.
Stay away for harsh weather conditions. Sun weakens the skin when exposure is too much and causes the face to age faster.
Exercise moderately and smile often. Don't be strict on yourself. Some exercises will make you look old.
Don't go on birthing too many children, the stress takes it toll on your cells.
Also, marry well for your own peace. A wrong marriage will age you faster than you imagine. ☺ ☺ ☺.
