Anti-aging sport : a sports coach's secrets for keeping skin young and toned
Aging is inevitable, but aging well is a choice - Anti-aging sport
At a time when healthy living is becoming a major prevention tool, we met with Marc-Antoine, a certified sports coach, to demystify the link between exercise, skin, anti-aging supplements, and aging. Together, we reviewed the most frequently asked questions from our community about anti-aging.
1. Is sport really anti-aging ?
“Yes, provided it is well practiced”, emphasizes Marc-Antoine.
Regular physical activity stimulates blood circulation, improves tissue oxygenation, and strengthens deep muscles, helping to slow skin sagging. Exercise also activates collagen production, a key element for skin tone and preventing skin aging.
2. What are the exercises to stay young ?
"There's no single exercise, but rather an effective combination," explains the coach. He recommends focusing on :
-
Moderate cardio (brisk walking, swimming, cycling)
-
Muscle strengthening (circuit training, Pilates)
-
Mobility and yoga
“The body needs diversity to stay young,” adds Marc-Antoine. “The real secret is consistency, not performance.”
3. Is face yoga really effective ?
"Good news : yes, it's effective", provided you practice it regularly. It strengthens facial muscles, improves lymphatic drainage, and fights sagging skin. Combined with a course of anti-aging supplements, its effects can be increased tenfold.
4. Does high-intensity physical activity accelerate aging ?
"Yes, if it is not moderate", says Marc-Antoine.
Intense physical activity without sufficient recovery can increase oxidative stress, which is responsible for premature cellular aging. This can lead to :
-
Duller skin
-
Accelerated skin sagging
-
Chronic fatigue
-
A weakening of natural defenses
5. Does intensive cardio age the face ?
"Intensive cardio, especially without proper supervision or nutrition, can cause a loss of facial volume", warns Marc-Antoine. This can accentuate :
-
The hollowed features
-
Sagging skin
-
A tired and less toned appearance
He concludes : “Cardio is not the enemy of youth, but should be practiced in moderation.”
