Steps to reverse the aging process

Aging is an inevitable part of nature and no one can avoid it. Aging often begins to occur strongly from the age of 40 onwards, with dramatic changes in the body - from skin color, hair to body. However, we can still slow down, even reverse the aging process through comprehensive health care measures.

Aging is an inevitable part of everyone's life, which can lead to changes to parts and functions of your body. Knowing how aging works will help you to try to reduce or slow down the aging process.

As you age, the blood vessels and arteries in the body become stiffer. Your heart also has to work harder and harder to pump blood. This can lead to high blood pressure and other heart problems.

As you age, your skin will look drier and less supple than before. This is because your skin produces less natural oils as you age.
Also, you also tend to sweat less and lose some of the fatty tissue just under your skin and make your skin appear more fragile. You will notice on the skin gradually appear wrinkles, age spots and small papules.

Old age makes it difficult to see close objects clearly. At this point, you may need glasses to read. Or sometimes the eyes become dazzled when seeing bright light and have difficulty adapting to sudden changes in light. As for hearing, aging can make it difficult to hear conversations in crowded rooms or at high frequencies.

The use of certain medications can make your mouth drier. Dry mouth increases the risk of tooth decay and infection.

As early as your 40s and 50s, your bones start to weaken. They become thinner and more brittle, which also increases the risk of fractures in older adults.
Even many people notice their height drop by 1-2 inches starting in their 40s. This is because the discs in the spine shrink and make you look shorter.
In addition, the joints also show signs of stiffness. The fluid and cartilage lining joints can decrease or wear out with age. When the tissue between the joints breaks down, it can lead to arthritis.

Aging also makes it harder for you to control your bladder, causing urinary incontinence. This usually happens to about 10% of people aged 65 and over.
In addition, many people also report that they leak a little urine every time they cough, sneeze or take a shower. For women, the cause is often menopause. For men, an enlarged prostate can be a contributing factor to urinary incontinence.
Furthermore, you may also notice that your bowel movements are not as frequent as before. Some conditions, such as diabetes, can slow your bowel movements. The use of medications that can make you constipated, including medications for blood pressure, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and depression. In addition, iron supplements or pain relievers containing anesthetics can also lead to constipation.

As we age, the body loses a significant amount of muscle mass, leading to weakness and reduced ability to function.
During menopause, a woman's vaginal tissues become dry, thin, and less elastic. This makes sex less enjoyable. In addition, women's breasts also lose tissue and fat, look smaller and less full than before. For men, aging makes it harder for them to get or keep an erection during sex.

Here are simple steps to help you slow down the aging process effectively, including:

The best thing you can do for your health and longevity is to quit smoking. Smoking is considered a leading cause of disease, from heart disease to lung disorders. All of these conditions can make your aging process faster.
When smoking, nicotine will enter the body and cause blood vessels in the outermost layer of the skin to narrow, reducing blood flow, preventing the skin from receiving enough oxygen and nutrients. In addition, the heat from cigarettes combined with the facial expressions you make when smoking can also cause premature wrinkles, especially around the mouth.

Alcohol can get into every cell, damage genes and cause hepatitis. Women should drink about one glass of wine a day and two for men.

Your body needs a certain amount of time to repair damaged cells. Getting enough sleep is considered the golden key to effective anti-aging, helping you stay healthy and sharp.

To help slow down the aging process, you should cut back on saturated fat and increase the amount of omega-3 fats in your daily diet. You should limit your intake of red meat, cakes or ice cream, and instead increase your consumption of complex carbs, such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
In addition, you can also get healthy fats through fatty fish, such as sardines, salmon and mackerel. These foods can help prevent free radicals from damaging the cells in your body.

You should pay attention to your total daily food intake. Animal studies have shown that limiting calories to about 30% can increase life expectancy. In addition, eating in moderation also helps you maintain a reasonable weight, thereby reducing pressure on the body and preventing signs of aging.

Many studies have shown that a decrease in growth hormone in humans is associated with thinner bones, more body fat and mood swings. While a growth hormone (HGH) supplement can help you build muscle, it hasn't been proven to make muscles stronger.
In addition, the hormone HGH has also been linked to a variety of conditions, including water retention, carpal tunnel syndrome, imbalanced blood sugar levels, and high blood pressure. In addition, the use of hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Some studies have shown that people with a positive view of aging live 7 years longer than others. You should look to the future instead of fearing the dangers of growing old. Mental and cognitive changes will help you stay younger longer.
