Njega zrele kože iznutra i izvana

Zrela koža treba odgovarajuću prehranu iznutra i izvana. Evo naših najboljih savjeta za njegu kože kako bi vaša koža izgledala najbolje.

Očuvajte zdravu kožu pravilnom prehranom

Vi ste ono što jedete i jedno od prvih mjesta koje pokazuje loša prehrana je površina vaše kože, bez obzira na godine. Stanice kože stvaraju se u unutarnjem sloju kože, gdje se moraju zadovoljiti hranjivim tvarima koje preostaju nakon što su vitalniji dijelovi tijela dobili svoj udio. Dakle, trik za dobru njegu kože je osigurati da dobijete dovoljno hranjivih tvari koje vaša koža treba – uz pružanje njege izvana.

Vitamini za njegu kože

Vitamin A neophodan je za stvaranje novih stanica kože i održavanje normalne kože. Dobri izvori vitamina A su:

Jetrica, jetrica, masna riba, jaja, margarin, mlijeko, maslac i sir.
Voće i povrće s puno boja, poput mrkve, brokule, paprike, kelja i marelica.
Riblje ulje i drugi omega-3 dodaci.

Vitamin C pomaže u proizvodnji kolagena, koji je važan građevni element normalne kože. Dobri izvori vitamina C uključuju:

Citrusno voće poput naranče i kivija.
Bobičasto voće poput jagoda i crnog ribiza.
Paprika, brokula, rutabaga, špinat i rajčica.

Jednostavni savjeti za njegu zrele kože izvana

Koža također ovisi o pravilnoj njezi izvana. Starija koža će trebati dodatnu vlažnost i treba je tretirati nježnije od mlađe kože.

Evo naših najboljih savjeta:

Hidratantno čišćenje

S godinama koža postaje osjetljivija i lako dehidrira, zbog čega je važno koristiti blago, hidratantno sredstvo za čišćenje koje ne uklanja zaštitne lipide s površine kože.

Nježni piling

Piling nekoliko puta tjedno uklanja grube, mrtve stanice kože koje mogu spriječiti vašu hidratantnu kremu da djeluje učinkovito i daje vam zdrav sjaj. Ali tradicionalni pilinzi mogu izgrebati površinu vaše kože i oštetiti je. Trebali biste izabrati nježan piling za lice koji sadrži, na primjer, enzime koji otapaju mrtve stanice kože umjesto da ih uklanjaju.

Puno, puno vlage

Kad ostarite, potrebna vam je dodatna vlaga, često više nego što mislite. Stoga se počastite dobrom hidratantnom kremom, po mogućnosti onom s hijaluronskom kiselinom i marljivo je i izdašno koristite ujutro i navečer. I ne zaboravite piti vodu – svježa voda je dobra za vašu kožu i zdravlje.

Krema za sunčanje

Nikada nemojte preskočiti kremu za sunčanje! Sunce uzrokuje oko 90% znakova starenja, poput bora i staračkih pjega. Zapamtite, vaša preplanulost je privremena, a vaše bore zauvijek. I da, preplanuli ste čak i ako kožu zaštitite kremom za sunčanje. Samo traje malo duže, ali zauzvrat dobivate dublju dugotrajniju boju.

What is good health?

Body changes in later life call for changes in your diet

Do you have a good lifestyle?

Lifestyle simply means the way in which you live. Health and lifestyle go hand in hand. You might feel you have a good lifestyle if you are physically active, eat healthily and generally experience a sense of wellbeing. Conversely, if you want good health you should also have a good lifestyle.

Physical activity is the major contributor to a good lifestyle, but diet, drugs, stress, sleep and social conditions are also play an important role. Being able to use the body properly to avoid injury also affects lifestyle. Physical activity can also prevent depression and help you to recover more quickly from mental illness, both of which obviously affect your lifestyle.

How does the aging process affect your immune system?

Diet can be a difficult topic for many. Perhaps you eat too much or too little or maybe you find it hard to know what foods to combine to have a balanced diet. It’s also important to eat food that contains important vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, omega-3 and antioxidants. On top of all this, you also need to get enough energy, protein and the correct fatty acids. The requirement for these nutrients changes throughout your life. When you are older you also have different requirements than children and younger adults. Women also have different requirements than men. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers also have special requirements.

When you get older, you lose muscle mass and your body requires less energy and therefore less food. You may lead a less active life than you did before, which is why you require less food. However, your need for minerals, vitamins and other nutrients remains the same. Of course, there are plenty of healthy and active older people, but when you reach 70 to 80 years of age, it’s easier to become ill, especially during flu season.

Some steps you can take to improve your lifestyle and health are to:

eat a healthy and varied diet
stay active
watch your weight
avoid too much alcohol and don’t smoke
get enough sleep
think positive
practise good hygiene

What is good quality of life?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines quality of life as a state where the individual can realise their potential, cope with normal stressful situations, work in a rewarding and positive way, and be able to contribute to others and society.

Quality of life is a wide and somewhat diffuse concept that includes joy in, and a desire for, life. These are values that are rather felt than measured, which in turn are based on personal environment and choices. Quality of life doesn’t necessarily depend on being healthy or sick. It’s the moments between worries, sorrows, problems and ailments that matter. For example, if you have a chronic illness, a feeling of mastery can be important when talking about quality of life.

To sum up, quality of life is a combination of health, lifestyle, networks and social support. It’s about experiencing joy, meaning in life, satisfaction, security and a sense of belonging, as well as being able to use your strengths. It’s also about feeling interest in life, coping with everyday situations and a being committed to something or someone. If you have good quality of life, you will be able to cope better with the inevitable stressful situations in life.
