Signs of Early Aging? Cut This Out of Your Diet in 2022

Are you one of the many that crave your afternoon caffeine boost in the form of a sugary, bubbly beverage? As adults, we know that soda isn’t the best choice of beverage, yet the taste and energy boost are hard to pass up. But new research is uncovering that soda may do more than perk you up and expand your waistline. Current Nutrition Reports recently shared that drinking sugar-sweetened drinks like soda impacts your gut bacteria, causes inflammation, and increases oxidated stress. Do you know what all those things have in common? They’re causes of early aging. In fact, researchers from the University of California San Francisco shared, “For a daily consumption of the current standard 20-ounce serving size for sugar-sweetened sodas, this corresponds to 4.6 additional years of aging.”

CT Post: New Year, New Technologies: Esana’s Plastic Surgeons Reveal the Best Non-Invasive Anti-Aging Technologies for 2021

Heading into the new year, many of us are having the same thought: after 2020, I need an upgrade. Seeing our faces staring back at us from our screens this last year had many of us realizing just how much we’ve aged. In the past, some may have turned to injections or plastic surgery to help reverse the signs of aging, and while these treatments are effective, they carry certain physical risks and recovery times.

Times have changed. Now there are multiple non-invasive, effective anti-aging treatments with little to no necessary recovery time offered by plastic surgery centers and select MedSpas around the country. Ultherapy, Morpheus8/Fractora, and Evoke are 3 treatments that fight the effects of aging—sagging skin, wrinkles, and sun damage—without the use of scalpels or injections.

In this decade it is important to make sure your skin product regimen is correctly tailored for your skin. Retin-A based products (such as our Esana Essential) would be important to stop small lines from forming and to maintain collagen production. Sun avoidance is also necessary to prevent looking like a dried leather bag in the future. For some women, early forehead or frown lines may need Botox treatment to reverse and prevent them from etching the skin.Continue Reading Sound advice for your aging face
