In 2019, it was published in the top international journal "Nature Medicine".
One study found that aging does not occur at a uniform rate, and there may be a sudden physiological turning point of "quantitative change to qualitative change".
And at these 3 points in time, you may suddenly feel old for a moment!
Turning point 1: After the age of 34, the risk of various diseases begins to increase
After the age of 34, we are not only experiencing aging, but also facing more diseases. The most obvious change for many people is that they have become fatter, have high blood lipids, and have a thicker waistline. At the same time, the indicators of the physical examination also began to be abnormal, and the risk of various diseases began to increase.
Turning point 2: After the age of 60, the body enters the aging stage in an all-round way
Although many people are not satisfied with being called an elderly person over the age of 60, many people do feel it obviously. Not only physical aging, but also mental health will change significantly.
Turning point 3: After the age of 78, the "expansion period" of healthy life expectancy will begin
As of the end of 2018, the average life expectancy in China was 77 years old, but there were about 8 years of survival with illness. More than 1800 million older people suffer from chronic diseases, and 75% of them suffer from one or more chronic diseases.
Therefore, the most important thing at this time is to pay attention to the management of chronic diseases and try to improve your healthy life expectancy. At this age, it is actually regarded as the "expansion period" of life, when you are young, the foundation is better, and when you are old, the ability to "expand" will be stronger.
Although no one can stay young forever, they can age a little slower. There is also a timeline for human aging, and if you can prevent aging early, then you will be younger than others.
Prevent brain aging.
Use your brain diligently
Feeling like your brain is reacting more and more slowlyMemory is also getting worse and worse?The ability to Xi new knowledge is also declining
Maybe it's the brain aging!The so-called brain aging is actually related to our sub-health problems such as stressful life, staying up late for a long time, going to bed late, and brain fatigue.
The brain is an organ that is used in and out, and regular use of the brain will make the cerebral blood vessels dilate in many places, and the brain tissue has enough blood and nutrient supply, thus providing a material basis for delaying brain aging.
Prevents liver aging
Maintain your weight
It is often said: Obesity makes people old!This is not without basis.
A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PANS) found that obesity accelerates the aging rate of an individual's liver, with a 10 increase in body mass index (BMI) increasing the epigenetic age of the liver by 33 years.
Prevent lung aging
Quit smoking promptly
Tobacco is the main cause of lung diseases, not only active smokers, but also passive smokers who smoke "second-hand smoke" and "third-hand smoke" for a long time, and the incidence of lung diseases is also higher. Long-term exposure to "secondhand smoke" also increased the risk of COPD by 48%.
One of the most important ways to slow down lung aging is to quit smoking. As long as you quit smoking, your body can benefit, and the sooner you quit smoking, the greater the physical benefit.
Prevent muscle aging
Exercise in moderation
Muscles follow the principle of "use in and waste out", therefore, if you do not exercise for a long time, sit for a long time, you will have muscle loss, atrophy, and functional deterioration, which is also the main reason for the lack of muscle in young people.
To keep muscles from losing, you must first exercise appropriately, carry out aerobic exercise plus resistance training, such as dumbbells, tension bands and other strength training, but be sure to do what you can to avoid strain. At the same time, adjust your diet to ensure adequate intake of high-quality protein.
Prevents bone aging
Get plenty of sun
The occurrence of osteoporosis is closely related to the accumulation of basal bone mass and bone loss with age. If you can accumulate a good bone mass foundation when you are young, and lose less when you are older, your bones will naturally be stronger.
Bone preservation is inseparable from calcium supplementation and vitamin D sun exposure.
Prevention** aging
Take good sun protection
If you want to make your ** aging a little slower, the secret is - protect from light and sun.
In the aging process, photoaging is the most important cause of aging. Direct sunlight will not only make people darker, but also accelerate water loss and aging, aggravate freckles, and may breed wrinkles.
This may seem contradictory to the previous one, so the key is to master the time and the quantity.
For example, if the sun is fierce in summer, or when you go to outdoor activities such as hiking and going to the beach, you must do a good job of sun protection, especially for your face. In winter, you can get more sunshine at the right time.
There is no silver bullet to effectively delay aging, the most important thing is to fight against your desires, don't be too lazy, and don't be too greedy.
