As a person ages, signs of aging will usually begin to appear on the skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, several factors that can cause aging are smoking, not protecting the skin from the sun, and not using moisturizer.
In addition, of course there are also several other habits that can make the skin wrinkled and aged quickly. One of them from bad drinking habits.
Launching from CNN Indonesia, here are some drinking habits that can actually make your skin wrinkle quickly. Listen!
1. Prefer to Drink Packaged Juice

Have you often chosen to drink bottled juice instead of fruit, beauties? Hmm, don’t let you think that packaged juice has the same content as real fruit or fresh fruit juice.
The reason is, even though the packaged juice label often states that the drink contains 100 percent real fruit, don’t immediately believe it. Because packaged juices contain high added sugar. If you often consume it, of course this will make your skin wrinkle fast!
If you are getting bored of drinking water, you can add pieces of lemon, strawberries, mint leaves, or other fruit to add flavor.
2. Often Drink Soda

Too often drinking carbonated drinks, can also make your skin old quickly, you know! This is because soft drinks contain high sugar and also trigger many health problems.
Quoted from Eat This, Not That!, dietitian Edibel Quintero said that apart from triggering weight gain and causing various diseases, drinking too much carbonated drinks can also increase the risk of premature aging.
According to the American Journal of Public Health, soda has also been shown to actually accelerate the aging process of cells in the body.
3. Drink Beverages with Artificial Sweeteners

Don’t think that replacing sugary sweets with sugary sweets is better. Of course not Beauties, the damage done is the same.
Dietitian Mindy Haar says that many people are turning to drinks with non-nutritive sweeteners like sucralose (Splenda). In fact, this type of drink contains more calories than soft drinks.
4. Often Drink Alcohol

People who have a habit of drinking alcohol will find it difficult to maintain a youthful and fresh appearance, because this can make the skin wrinkle quickly.
“Alcohol can cause more accidents, as well as falls and fractures which have a more damaging effect as we get older,” says Dr. Haar.
In addition, excessive alcohol consumption is also associated with several types of cancer and liver damage. In women, alcohol can exacerbate pre-existing osteoporosis, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
5. Drink Less

It is important to ensure that the body stays hydrated throughout the day. Because lack of fluids will also make someone look old faster.
“Adequate hydration is important throughout life, because water provides an environment for metabolic reactions, as well as a building material for body parts, including the skin,” explains Haar.
Meanwhile, recent research published in The Lancet reveals that chronic dehydration is a major factor in accelerating the aging process, and even shortening lifespan through chronic illness or premature death.
