Seven Matters Will Unconsciously Make You Old
让你不知不觉变老的7件事

1.Your pillowcase
1.你的枕套

Obviously, getting enough sleep is always a good thing. But that pillowcase of yours is a different story. Experts say it can take moisture away from your body which, in turn, can age skin. What's worse, your pillowcase also can leave wrinkles and fine lines on your face. To fight the problem, you should buy a silk pillow cover. Silk contains amino acids that are very similar to those found in your moisturizers. As such, they actually don't draw moisture from your face the way other pillowcases can.

显然，充足的睡眠总是一件好事。但是，你的枕套是另一回事。专家说它能把水分抽离你的身体，从而老化肌肤。更糟糕的是，你的枕套也可以在你脸上留下皱纹和细纹。应对这一问题，你应该买一个丝质枕套。丝含有氨基酸，非常类似于在你的保湿霜里发现的东西。因此，它们实际上并不从你脸上吸收水分，而其他枕套可以。

2. Smiling
2.微笑

You may look nice with a smile on your face, but that grin -- as well as other facial expressions such as squinting -- actually can create more wrinkles and fine lines. Skin loses flexibility as it ages and doesn't have the capacity to spring back into place like it did when you were younger.

你脸上带着微笑会看起来很友好，但那笑容——以及其他面部表情如眯眼——实际上会产生更多的皱纹和细纹。随着年龄增大皮肤失去弹性，无法再回到年轻的时候的状态。

3. Central Air And Heating
3.中央空调和供暖

Low-humidity environments such as those created by central heating and air conditioning can lead to dry skin. And dry skin makes wrinkles more pronounced -- even though it doesn't actually cause wrinkles. Best to warm or cool your body by putting on or taking off layers of clothing rather than turning up the heat or air conditioner.

低湿度的环境中，例如那些由中央供暖和空调创造的环境会导致皮肤干燥。皮肤干燥使皱纹更明显——尽管它实际上并不产生皱纹。最好通过加减衣物来使你的身体暖和或凉快，而不是打开暖气或空调。

4. Drinking from bottles and through straws
4.通过吸管喝瓶装水

It may be hard to believe but, yes, the puckering process of drinking from a bottle or through a straw -- just like any repeated muscle motion -- can lead to fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Face cream can help. But dermatologists tell those who are prone to fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth to avoid straws altogether.

这也许很难相信，但是，是的，从瓶子中喝水或通过一根吸管的曲折过程——就像任何重复的肌肉运动，会导致嘴巴旁边的细纹和皱纹。面霜可以有帮助。但是皮肤科医生告诉那些嘴部容易起细纹和皱纹的人要完全避免吸管。

5. Watching TV
5.看电视

After the age of 25, every hour of TV you want shortens your life by 21.8 minutes. Really, truly. Or so says a 2011 study by researchers in Australia. Indeed, those who watch six or more hours a day of TV apparently live 4.8 years less than those who don't watch TV. In the end, watching TV may be on par with other risk factors such as obesity.

25岁以后，你每看一小时的电视就会缩短21.8分钟的生命。真的，真的。2011年澳大利亚的研究人员做的课题中也这样说过。事实上，那些一天看六个小时以上电视的人比那些不看电视的人明显少活4.8年。最后，看电视可能也会伴随着其他危险因素如肥胖。

6. Sugar
6.糖

No doubt sugar is bad for your waistline but eating sugary foods also can harm the collagen and elastin needed to keep your skin smooth and youthful. Experts say you should replace foods high in sugar with low-glycemic carbs like whole grains. Why? Because the body processes them more slowly, which limits the loss of collagen and elastin.

毫无疑问，糖不利于你的腰围，但吃含糖的食物也会损害那些需要来保持皮肤光滑年轻的胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白。专家说你应该用全谷类的低糖碳水化合物来取代高糖食物。为什么?因为身体消化它们更为缓慢，从而限制了胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白的损失。

7. Holding Things In
7.抓住不放

Mad at your bank's customer service representative? Keeping that anger inside isn't a good thing. Or so say studies that show clamming up makes you four times more likely to die earlier than those who don't bottle things up.

对你的银行的客服代表很生气吗?将愤怒埋在心里不是一件好事。或者这么说研究表明拒不开口让你早死的概率是那些不把事情憋在心里的人的四倍。
