Sleeping under six hours daily increases cortisol and accelerates visible aging within three years.

Skipping protein at breakfast reduces collagen production and speeds muscle and skin breakdown.

Sitting longer than eight hours daily slows lymphatic drainage causing puffiness and faster facial aging.

Constant phone scrolling lowers blink rate, worsening dry eyes and early crow’s feet formation.

Eating refined carbs nightly spikes insulin repeatedly, accelerating glycation and permanent skin sagging.

Ignoring sunscreen indoors exposes skin to blue light damage that accelerates pigmentation and wrinkles.
