Medical Video: 52 Year Old Ageless Beauty From China Shares Her Anti-aging Secrets!
When you look in the mirror and see that there are pimples on your face, you must feel upset. Yes, everyone will bete and don't like pimples, on the face or on other parts of the body, because it will only make their appearance "tarnished". But it turns out that acne isn't as bad as you might think. Did you know that acne can prevent you from experiencing premature aging. So don't be afraid to have zits because this will keep you young.
Where did this discovery come from?
This statement came from a study conducted by researchers from King’s College London. In this study, researchers involved as many as 1205 twins. Then the researchers asked the respondent's acne history, carried out a physical examination and sampled their genes.
From the results of the study, it is known that people who are ever spotty actually show fewer signs of aging, even none at all, when compared to people of the same age, which is rarely spotty. This sign of aging is for example wrinkled and dry skin
Why does acne make a person younger?
Although until now it is not yet clear why acne-prone people tend to be younger than those without acne, but the researchers concluded that there might be more oil production produced by people with acne. However, from the results of biopsies and gene examinations performed, it is known that this event is influenced by differences in gene structure.
Of the total respondents who have had pimples before, it is known that there are different forms of DNA in their bodies. Someone who has acne tends to have telomeres that are longer than people who have never had acne. Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes - a collection of DNA-DNA - that function to protect DNA from the aging process.
Actually telomeres will shrink and break naturally when the age of the body's cells gets older, this is what causes the cells to die. This condition will automatically occur and is a marker of the aging process.
The DNA of people with acne tends to be more youthful
In people who have telomeres longer, as in groups that have had acne, the cell death process takes longer. Long telomeres make DNA more protected.
Cells consist of collections of DNA and can die from damaged DNA. When long telomeres can protect DNA, the cell's 'life' will be better protected and prevent cells from dying in a short time.This makes a person ageless and prevents aging.
Several other studies also state that telomeres length represents a long biological age. In addition, short telomeres are proven to be associated with a decrease in the ability of the immune system and reduce a person's bone density.
