Do you want to know if you're old? As we age, we all inevitably get older. By looking at some characteristics, we can roughly tell if a person is aging or not. Below I'm going to share three of the salient features of aging and see how many of them you've hit.
The belly becomes larger, which is often referred to as central obesity. It is a sign of aging, it is not only a change in appearance, but also a reflection of the body's internal health. When our belly gets bigger, it means that our body starts to accumulate fat towards the center, which will plant a small seed for various diseases.
Stomach enlargement is closely related to diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. These diseases are the most common health problems in middle-aged and elderly people, and once they occur, it is difficult to ** and requires long-term medication to control. Obesity is one of the important causes of these diseases, especially central obesity.
A bigger belly can also affect our digestive system. Because excessive fat accumulation in the abdomen can compress our internal organs and affect the normal functioning of the digestive system. In the long run, it may lead to problems such as indigestion and constipation. These problems not only affect our quality of life, but also pose a potential threat to our physical health.
As we age, our lungs function gradually weakens, and so does our lung capacity. This is mainly due to the gradual deterioration of blood vessels and muscles in the lungs as we age, resulting in a decrease in the lungs' ability to absorb oxygen and emit carbon dioxide.
If we do regular physical activity and maintain a healthy lifestyle, we can strengthen our lungs and thus slow down this aging process to some extent.
Hearing loss is also a sign of aging. As we age, the cochlear cells gradually degenerate, leading to hearing loss. This is usually manifested by a decrease in sensitivity to sound, a decrease in the resolution of sound, and even symptoms such as tinnitus and deafness.
We can also slow down this hearing aging process by maintaining good lifestyle habits and mindset, as well as using appropriate assistive devices.
The decrease in libido is because as we age, our hormone levels gradually decrease, which can have an impact on our libido. The desire in our youth is easily aroused, but as we age, this desire becomes much weaker.
The decline in exercise capacity is also due to the fact that as we age, our muscles and bones gradually become weaker, which makes it more difficult for us to exercise. Therefore, it is crucial that we maintain a moderate level of exercise and exercise. Proper exercise can help us keep our muscles and bones healthy, while also helping to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.
Similarly, the ability to hold urine decreases as we age, and bladder capacity usually decreases, which means we feel the urge to urinate more easily. If you find yourself constantly needing to go to the bathroom frequently, then this could be the body telling you that you have entered the aging stage.
The above three characteristics may seem commonplace, but to get our attention, by observing and understanding these aging characteristics, we can take better care of ourselves. Let's embrace aging with a positive mindset. Three minutes to talk about culture
