The problem of age-related changes has been worrying mankind since ancient times. Obviously, people age differently, with some looking young in old age, while others older than their age.
Gerontology is a science that studies the laws of aging of living organisms.
Aging reasons
The changes that the skin and other parts of the body undergo depend on time and environmental influences. Aging is associated with a lack of water in the body and an unbalanced diet, lack of exercise, frequent overwork and stress.
Affect the body, especially the skin, climatic factors, these include heat, cold, wind. Heating, electricity, etc. matter. Aging is accelerated by an unfavorable environment.
In addition, the causes of human aging include the presence of free radicals (decompose the body from the inside), which are the cause of many diseases, such as atherosclerosis, cancer and others. The loss of the cell's ability to reproduce itself can also be attributed to such reasons.
Different aging rates
The reasons that people age in different ways are rooted in thinking, stereotypes, and demeanor from childhood. If a person is busy with a business that he likes, goes in for sports, travels a lot, he does not have time for boredom or blues, he feels young, and old age is in no hurry to come. The more positive a person has, the more he enjoys life, shows love, the later old age comes. When a person constantly shows dissatisfaction, criticizes everyone and blames other people for his failures, he grows old much faster.
If a person strives to be as young as possible for as long as possible, then he definitely should not abuse alcohol, chemicals and drugs that cause addiction.
Scientists from the UK have proven that aging depends not only on age and environment, bad habits, but also on a person's genetic predisposition. Their discovery, backed by research, could fundamentally change the way physicians approach health and the treatment of diseases that come with age. Perhaps scientists and doctors will eventually be able to identify people prone to early aging, and develop various preventive measures to avoid this.
But you need to understand that a person himself can do a lot to preserve youth: do gymnastics or exercise every day (improve metabolism, increase blood flow), take walks in the mountains (height activates the bone marrow), eat high-calorie meals rich in vitamins and minerals, reduce sugar consumption, give up tobacco and alcohol, train the brain by reading, learning something new, sleep a lot (in a dream, the body cells regenerate, as well as the release of growth hormone), temper.
