AGING

 


Aging is probably caused by a combination of factors. Some theories suggest that cells have a limited life span, while others say that it is the result of a defect and damage. Some theories suggest that aging is caused by genetic reactions, mutations, or chemical reactions. Aging is normal, but following a healthy lifestyle can help you to live longer. Habits like eating well, exercising regularly, and wearing sunscreen can reduce the risk of infection and improve your quality of life.

Think of aging as "what happens to our bodies over time." This definition covers many of the processes that the human body goes through as it ages (unlike the signs of aging, such as gray hair and wrinkles). Some aging is caused by the body; such growth causes children to pass through puberty. Aging can also accumulate, such as the onset of skin damage due to excessive sun exposure. Aging is ultimately a combination of physical changes in our bodies and the natural factors to which we are exposed. Although the latter is often beyond our control, some aspects of the environment can be reversed and can even affect the aging process.

What is biological aging? The basic premise of biological aging is that aging occurs as it gradually accumulates damage to various cells and tissues in the body. Also known as life or working age, biological age differs from year to year because it takes into account several factors other than the date of birth. The actual number falls into various aspects of biological development. Some of these include; chronological years, genes (for example, how quickly antioxidant defenses enter), way of life, nutrition, diseases, and other conditions. Using these guidelines and various mathematical models, medical professionals can determine how old your “body” is. Although chronology is a factor, you may not end up with the same biological age as your chronology. For example, if you are a 28-year-old man who does not exercise, eats only a high-fat diet, and has smoked five packs of cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, you may be biologically more than 28 years.

Science has discovered amazing things in the field of human interest, something we all want to know - can we slow down the aging process, live longer, and if so, how? It is a topic of high technology. However, we can provide you with powerful clues that will help you to slow down the aging process and increase your chances of having healthy aging. What determines your 'age' of living things? Our parents set reasonable rules for us when we were young, believing that we would love to see a certain age. We walk around with a view to our little realization that we have a predetermined time that is between 60-90 years. But there is no definite speed at which one can grow old because we are all very different. Some people look good and are always young - old, wrinkled! Some, with a little luck, look older than their age. The biological age of our bodies is a reflection of our physical, mental, and spiritual journey in our lives. In perfect conditions, our bodies can live for 125 years! Look at the two different lists below, the chances of aging are seen when you compare such significant differences in lifestyle. The first person has all the qualities needed to complete the process of aging and to survive into adulthood. Lifestyle factors that promote longevity; He regularly participates in exciting exercises. Happy work and tolerates ‘healthy’ stress. Often a happy relationship with a spouse and children. An active member of the community, enjoying many friendships. You want to learn new things and enjoy personal growth. Add to the diet vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. You feel a sense of purpose in life. If your life reflects these qualities it means you have acquired the traits that significantly slow down the aging process and increase your chances of survival until you reach adulthood with good health. Lifestyle factors that do not promote longevity; stable life, obesity or overweight, inability to withstand pressure, isolation - working and living alone, few friendships, poor or limited job opportunities, a constant diet of nutritionally deficient food (junk food). He harbors resentment, anger, fear, lack of purpose and self-interest, lack of stability and routine. If this list is like you it means you are getting old fast! It is time to take action and make some changes if you want to improve the quality of your final years. It can be hard work to make changes in your lifestyle, however, by taking things one step at a time and being consistent in developing new lifestyle habits - you will see the difference over time, and your body, friends, and family will thank you.

How to age healthily? You can take several steps to try to improve your biological age. From any age, including 70+ can help. Here are some ways in which you can grow old; exercise or engage in physical activity, everyone, especially those with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis, can benefit from regular exercise. In young adults, exercise increases the amount of blood the heart can pump to each heartbeat (stroke volume) and lowers the heart rate at rest. Exercise helps older adults to have better heart and lung function, which can increase endurance and reduce fatigue. The types of exercise you can try include the following; exercise reduces the risk of falls, which are a major cause of injury in older adults. Exercise helps to build muscle, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis later in life.

Exercise endurance helps your breathing and heart rate to improve, which in turn improves lung and heart, and cardiovascular health, and benefits your circulatory system. Examples of exercise are swimming, walking, and cycling. Stretching keeps your body relaxed, allowing you to continue your daily activities without aches and pains. Be aware of nutrients in your diet; although more research needs to be done on factors to determine the age of organisms, studies have shown that there is a clear link between nutrition and your life expectancy. Fully aware of what includes healthy eating and consulting nutritional labels when buying food may help improve your life expectancy.
