Why breast sagging happens to ladies and how to prevent it
The major reason why female breast sag is because of the gradual weakness in the ability of ligament known as the Cooper's ligament to hold the breast firmly, a loss or reduction in collagen and elastin has been shown to also play a contributing role.
Once the Cooper's ligament is weak, the breast falls. That's the primary factor that leads to a sagged breast.
Other factors that can also contribute to breast sagging indirectly is loss in collagen and elastin due to aging.
Collagen and estrogen deficiency, multiple pregnancy and menopause, larger size of the breast (this puts greater pressure and tension on the Cooper's ligament).
Habits like smoking which causes increase in oxidative stress leads to faster aging with loss in collagen also enhances sagging of breast.
High BMI (Body mass index) which is as a result of overweight or obesity also contributes to breast sagging.
At times, breast sagging can be simply genetic i.e as a young lady, you could have sagged breast at early onset.
So it all depends on the individual, but avoid habits that can favour it...
Things that causes wrinkles and how to prevent them
Do you know that a wrong sleeping position can also cause wrinkles???
When you sleep with your face pressed against the pillow repeatedly, it compresses the skin.
Over time, this compression can leave your skin weakened in some places and causes wrinkles to appear. Changing your sleeping position can help alot, preferably sleeping on your back.
Fine lines are what you can call baby wrinkles and once you begin to notice it, It's a sign that your skin is under undue duress (what science terms as oxidative stress) and requires appropriate attention.
Don't forget, fine lines that are unattended to can develop into Wrinkles. Below are some useful suggestions to tackle this problem:
Protect yourself from the sun : Since sunlight is basically unavoidable, wear protective gears like sunglasses and most importantly use sunscreens.
They will help protect your eyes and skin by filtering out harmful UV rays, hence, you don't always have to frown or squint your face under sunlight.
Eat right: Take lots of fruits and vegetables rich in natural antioxidants like vitamin A, C, E. Antioxidants protects the skin from oxidative stress.
Protein rich meals should be included in your diet (aids collagen synthesis and other cellular activities). Eat foods rich in saturated fatty acids especially Omega 3 fatty acids( e.g. salmon, nuts, avocados).
Omega 3 fatty acids has anti aging properties- it helps to keep the skin healthy, soft and reduces moisture loss.
Try to reduce your sugar intake because increased sugar level in the blood can bind and reduce the quality of collagen through a process called glycation and it also may encourage the inflammation and release of enzymes that breakdown of proteins.
We will continue next with the others way to avoid early skin wrinkles formation... keep in touch.
How wrinkles on the face begins to form
With the passage of time, Aging which is an inevitable natural life process sets in, equally affecting the body tissues but one organ where this process is quite evident is the skin.
Skin aging can either be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic skin aging is beyond the control of the individual (genetically controlled) and it is in line with the normal course of aging associated with increasing age.
Studies have shown what happens during the normal aging process:
The first is an ominous reduction in the production of two essential proteins that makes up the skin- collagen and elastin (Collagen makes the skin firm by giving it great tensile strength while elastin gives the skin elasticity so that no matter the stress put on it, it can always return to its original form).
The second thing observed is the loss of fat cells which gives the skin bulk form (this causes the skin to sag).
Probably you didn't know, fat cells also play huge role in maintenance of the smooth nature and firmness of the skin.
The third thing that is observed, is the loss in the ability of the skin to retain moisture. This ultimately leaves the skin dry all the time.
The final thing observed is a reduced production of new skin cells to replace worn-out cells. The skin looses its regeneration power. The two above culminates to having a scally and dried skin.
we will continue with how this wrinkles are formed also learn and understand why people have wrinkles at early age.
