6 Habits That Age You Faster
1. Eating too much added sugar
→ Excess glucose can promote glycation, which can damage proteins like collagen and elastin.
2. Sleeping poorly or at irregular times
→ Sleep disruption can interfere with recovery and is associated with markers of biological aging.
3. Eating ultra-processed foods too often
→ Higher UPF intake is associated with poorer metabolic health and emerging evidence links it with accelerated biological aging.
4. Sitting for most of the day
→ Too much sedentary time is associated with less favourable markers of biological aging.
5. Staying stressed all the time
→ Chronic psychological stress may influence inflammation, cellular senescence, DNA damage and other aging pathways.
6. Regular or excessive alcohol intake
→ Higher alcohol consumption has been associated with accelerated biological and epigenetic aging.
