Nutritionist Juliana Andrade said that some foods lead to premature aging. Her words are reported by Terra.
First, says Andrade, aging is accelerated by excess sugar in the diet. Among the products that contain it in large quantities, the doctor named cakes, cookies, various desserts and carbonated drinks. Secondly, she called for limiting trans fats in the diet, which can be found, for example, in fast food.
In addition, premature aging can result from eating processed meats such as bacon, sausage and ham, the specialist added. Alcohol also causes it, as it can provoke oxidative stress, dehydration and poor sleep quality. And a good night’s rest is of fundamental importance, since at this time recovery processes occur in the body, the doctor emphasized.

Professor Murad Shakhmardanov said that the 'unusual cold' without fever can be caused by known respiratory viruses such as rhinovirus, coronaviruses, metapneumovirus, adenoviruses and bocaviruses, and that the emergence of a new virus with a different clinical picture requires genetic changes or zoonotic transmission, which are not observed in the current situation.
