- Experts have warned about the risks of disguising diseases with an external gloss
Many people try to hide the outward signs of health problems with cosmetics, procedures, and expensive items, but this disguise does not eliminate the causes of malaise and can lead to the development of chronic diseases. All the details are in the Izvestia article.
The effects of chronic stress
The modern rhythm of life forces people to save time on routine medical examinations. According to Olga Shuppo, the scientific director of the Grand Clinic, working in survival mode for several years depletes the body, which provokes the development of hypertension, heart failure and type II diabetes.
Prolonged ignoring of fatigue and lack of sleep leads to visible changes: the appearance of visceral fat, puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. The next stage is the depletion of the adrenal glands, which manifests itself in muscle flabbiness and chronic malaise.
Masking the symptoms
Many patients try to mask the external manifestations of diseases instead of treating their causes. Shuppo noted that popular diets and botox abuse can worsen the situation, negatively affecting thyroid function and biochemical reactions in the body.
"The effectiveness of thyroid function is already decreasing with age and under the influence of stress, and botox can also worsen the problem," said Shuppo.
The role of dopamine in consumption
Dmitry Yagudin, founder and head of the D.R. Yagudin International Neurouniversity, Doctor of Psychology, explained the desire for external gloss by the neurobiological features of the brain. Buying expensive items or cosmetic procedures provides instant dopamine, while long-term investments in health require discipline and overcoming the fear of diagnosis.
"Appearance becomes not an adornment of life, but a protection from meeting it," Yagudin said.
The psychologist emphasized that using beauty as anesthesia prevents a person from objectively assessing their inner state. Ignoring body signals leads to the transition of anxiety into the stage of the disease, which cannot be hidden with cosmetics.
