Why is it said that white people age faster?
It's not about getting old faster, it's about looking old.
Whites, because they live mainly in areas with insufficient sunlight.
That's why sunlight is often needed to synthesize vitamin D.
But UV rays tend to age the skin quickly
So it looks old.
Human aging is categorized into photoaging and age aging, which cannot be resisted; photoaging is skin aging due to UV damage to the skin, which can be slowed down by avoiding light and applying sunscreen! Because Caucasians have fewer pigment particles within their skin, they are not as protected from UV rays as people of color, who have more pigment particles.
First of all, I personally don't agree with the "white people age faster" argument. I admit, there are reports in the media that Liu Ye and his white wife look like mother and son, and that Hathaway is aging at the age of 37. Such reports fit our inner vanity, so they are widely circulated. But we have to realize that people are in very different states at different moments, and maybe the shooting point is just when they are in a bad state, so this is really something that only people who have been around can judge. And media reports, is the purpose and selective very big, the day before also said a star looks old, today and said she how beautiful, is not a day also back to the child.
There is no evidence to support the conclusion that white people age faster. The strongest evidence for aging faster is a shorter life expectancy. According to the National Center for Health Statistics and Vital Statistics, life expectancy at birth in the United States in 2009 was 81.2 years for white women and 76.4 years for white men, compared to 77.6 years for black women and 71.1 years for black men. Whites are apparently currently outliving blacks. Data for yellow people in the US is not reported, but according to several East Asian countries, it is not higher than in the US, which is known to have a lower life expectancy than several countries in Western and Northern Europe. So when it comes to life expectancy, please believe that there is no such thing as white people aging faster. As for the brain, the heart, the circulatory system, the digestive system, which race ages faster, there are no reports on that either.
I know, you want to talk about the "skin" system, white people age faster. However, according to my observation over the past 10 years, many white people around me who have reached retirement age have skin that looks about the same as that of a 50 year old, and they all look very young. I know, you're trying to say that we're referring to the "30s and 40s" stage. All I can say is, well, maybe. And even if they do, it's not because they're aging fast, it might have something to do with their love of the sun. If you look at Gates before and after he retired, he looks like he's gone from a middle-aged man to a senior citizen because he's on vacation. White people don't necessarily age faster than other races if they are in the same environment, even if it's their skin. So really, give up on this kind of talk, there's no scientific basis for it.
This is related to the inherent DNA genes of white people, and has a lot to do with the western diet and living habits. White people prefer to eat meat, sugar, dairy and other high-calorie foods, for dietary fiber-rich vegetables eat less, which results in a diet that provides the body with a variety of original elements is not balanced and unreasonable. Accelerated the body's metabolism and the speed of aging.
From an emotional and relatively objective judgment, it is true that Westerners really do look older than Easterners, and the difference is not small, so why is that?
Genetically, some experts have pointed out that Western Caucasians generally carry a variant of a gene that affects skin aging (this gene is called "MC1R"), and this gene variant makes it more difficult for Western skin to secrete the relevant hormones to repair the damage of the years on its own, which in the long run leads to a more fragile skin that is less resistant to wrinkles, sagging, and other aging problems. The result is weaker skin that is less resistant to wrinkles, sagging and other aging problems.
On the other hand, it has also been pointed out that most Westerners are taller and bigger, and will certainly look more mature in front of the more petite and delicate Orientals, and that smaller people generally give the illusion of being close to "teenagers" and "children".
In addition to the figure, the Oriental face shape is also relatively Westerners are more rounded and full, creating the effect of a baby face; while the cheekbones are more prominent, the face of the angular Westerners are relatively more mature.
In general, the Oriental people are indeed blessed with "anti-aging" genes in their innate conditions. Perhaps the method of immortality that Emperor Qin Shi Huang tried so hard to find back then is actually in the body of each and every one of us Chinese.
The BBC has a science article that says there are two factors that contribute to the aging of human skin: chronology and light exposure. One of them is chronological which no one can do anything to stop, and light exposure, which does have something to do with the color of the skin.
The darker the skin, the more melanin it contains, and Asian skin produces a yellowish color of melanin. Melanin absorbs and scatters more light, thus protecting the skin more from the sun's UV rays. This is why fair-skinned people are more prone to sunburns and why light-skinned people age faster.
Scientific research experiments done as early as the last century, the different colors of skin into several levels of research, Asian skin on the speed of light aging is slower, many Asians in the 50, 60 years old before there are obvious wrinkles.
There is also a saying in America, 'black don't crack', used to describe blacks as less wrinkled and younger than whites.
However, while darker skinned races do have an advantage as far as wrinkles are concerned, the same is not true when it comes to the other signs of skin aging.
The most common signs of aging skin are wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity. As we age, the skin is constantly changing, becoming thinner, drier, and more fragile due to the thinning of the dermis layer within the skin. Skin fat disappears from the cheeks, chin, and under the nose, causing the skin to sag.
So it makes scientific sense that oily skin is less wrinkled than dry skin and that fat people look younger than thin people.
However.
Darker skin is more prone to aging spots, which are dark and brown patches on the skin.
While Asian skin is slow to wrinkle, it is also prone to sagging jowls, sunken cheeks, and the accumulation of bags under the eyes.
So, our Chinese skin wins in delicate, out of wrinkles slow, but sagging, lack of apple muscle, bags under the eyes in the direction of aging, is not going to stop. Maybe now you look closely at a 40-year-old Asian actress photo, there may be no wrinkles, but the overall silhouette will still have the feeling of aging it.
The truth is that none of us escapes aging; sun protection slows photoaging and moisturizing improves appearance, but eventually, our skin reveals its age.
Ways to slow down aging?
None other than: sun protection, sleep, exercise, healthy eating, drinking water, and not smoking.
To emphasize, it's just the Nordic branch of the Caucasian race, with thin subcutaneous fat and a thin stratum corneum, combined with a love of tanning to a wheat color, that just looks old! No problem with the body!
I don't know, what data do you have to base your conclusions on? At least life expectancy per capita doesn't support your claim.
With great height and weight comes a great burden on the heart.
Different races, different dietary structures, white high-fat, high-calorie eating habits, the heart is capricious. Easily aging!
