Avoid toxins
Even though research in this area is still in its early stages, it suggests that the environmental toxins we’re exposed to daily might be aging us faster. So avoiding toxins as much as you can is a fantastic anti-aging habit.
Researchers call these toxins “gerontogens.” Some instances of gerontogens are benzene from car exhaust and industrial emissions, and arsenic in groundwater. Other studies suggest that BPA, a chemical found in some plastic materials, may also accelerate aging.
So it might be wise to stick to using BPA-free plastic. Cigarette smoke is also unquestionably a gerontogen given all the research demonstrating how it can age your body and face.
Quitting smoking is the most critical anti-aging habit a person can make. But that technically goes for any age. Besides, smoking causes internal damage to your blood vessels, genetic code, and multiple organ systems.
