Plastic surgeon reveals the exercise that can age your face faster

Although the benefits of exercise are well-documented, one workout has the potential to age your face prematurely, according to a plastic surgeon.

Dr Gerald Imber, a New York-based plastic surgeon who frequently shares anti-ageing tips and advice on TikTok, revealed that long-distance running can lead to a “gaunt, old face”.

Dr Imber says there are exercises that are better for your body and for preventing premature ageing: “No impact or low impact aerobics is really the way to get your exercise”.

Running elevates stress hormones, so yeah, naturally you’re going to look older than your real age.

Probably also due to the intense sun exposure that avid outdoor runners endure. Probably well above average exposure over time.

I love running, but I wouldn't do it very often. now I've not done for quite a while, when I still did regularly, it was 1ce-2ice a week, or less. I would love to do it again, and I intend to, but I don't believe that overdoing it is any good, and I don't need any Doctor to tell Me this-my Friend did a lot of running and now has problems with his knees. thank You for the video nevertheless; thank You for validating what I think. regards.
