As you see those signs of aging creeping in slowly on your face- dark circles, sallow skin, wrinkles, you rush in for surgeries, fillers and treatments (both electronic and chemical). But, you ignore the simplest and probably the most effective anti-aging treatment available right under your nose- your regular good night sleep.
Sleep helps the body restore and regather its energy. It is during sleep when the majority of the day’s accumulated free-radicals are disarmed as the brain releases anti-oxidant hormones such as melatonin, as well as reparative hormones such as Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and restorative neurotransmitters such as GABA. While sleeping, the body not only releases these healing nutrients but also absorbs them the most. It is for this reason, that all the antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and hydrators, calcium and minerals, creams and lotions are advised to be consumed before retiring to bed.
Yes, sleep is your anti-aging prescription because when you sleep, your body is able to reduce its concentration of cortisol, a hormone that is always present in our blood in some amount. Keeping the level of cortisol constantly high can increase your stress levels, which leads to (among other things) increased facial tension causing deep wrinkles. Not only that, but cortisol is a diuretic, causing the loss of water from our bodies’ tissues. To add on cortisol lowers our bodies’ immune functions, reducing their ability to fight off infection, inflammation and free-radicals. Worse enough, cortisol inhibits the body’s ability to produce collagen, meaning the rate at which skin wrinkles and loses its elasticity will increase.
So, it you are working on your anti-aging prescription, put the sleep on the top of all other doses.
