The effect of aging is visible on both health and skin. After the age of 30 to 35, many anti-aging symptoms like wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and loose skin start appearing. This is very common, but some people use anti-aging products to reduce or prevent them. There are many anti-aging creams, serums and other skin products in the market, which are used as per the need. Some medicines and injections are also included in this, but this can harm health.

The topic of anti-aging medicine has been a topic of discussion for the last few days. Actually, actress Shefali Jariwala died due to cardiac arrest. After this, anti-aging pills and skin glow tablets were found in her house. It is being said that Shefali used to take anti-aging medicines, which include some injections and medicines.

And the skin can be made healthy and glowing even without these products. In such a situation, let us know from the experts about the disadvantages of anti-aging medicines and how to look young naturally without any medicine in old age.

What are the health risks of anti-aging drugs?

Dr Sandeep Arora, a dermatologist at Apollo Spectra Hospital in Delhi, said that if anti-aging medicines are taken without the advice of a doctor or in the wrong way, then it can cause serious damage to health. Some medicines contain hormones, steroids or other chemicals that interfere with the body's natural system, which can damage the heart and liver. Apart from this, the hormone balance can be disturbed. Regular consumption of these can also cause blood pressure, cholesterol or heart related diseases.

At the same time, applying anti-aging products like creams or serums externally on the face normally does not pose any serious risk, unless they contain harmful chemicals, if your skin is not very sensitive or you do not have an allergy problem. Everyone's skin type is different, so before using any new product, it is important to do a patch test and consult a doctor/dermatologist. Choose herbal or certified brand products and use medicines or supplements only under the supervision of a doctor, only then it is safe for health.

How to keep skin young naturally?

Dermatologist Dr Sandeep Arora says that with age, wrinkles, dullness and spots start appearing on the skin. But with the right skin care, you can keep the skin glowing and healthy. Clean the face twice a day with a mild face wash, apply moisturizer and use sunscreen twice a day, even if the sunlight is less.

To keep the skin healthy, take a diet rich in antioxidants. Include peanuts, walnuts, blueberries, carrots, beetroot, tomatoes, amla and citrus fruits in the diet. Be it winter or summer, drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated, because dehydration makes the skin look dull. Avoid applying products with too many chemicals such as bleach, hard face packs etc. This can damage the skin. Facial yoga or light massage is beneficial to keep the skin healthy.

How to keep your heart healthy?

Dr Amar Singhal, Director, Interventional, Clinical and Critical Cardiology and Electrophysiology at Shri Balaji Action Medical Institute, Delhi, said that a healthy lifestyle not only protects you from diseases, but also slows down the aging speed of the body. For this, you need to take care of some precautions like exercising for at least 30 minutes daily and adopting activities like yoga, cycling or swimming.
