5 Causes of Aging and 5 Tips for Dealing with It

Throughout our lives, changes in DNA increase our biological age, making us much more vulnerable to aging-related diseases. Some toxic substances in our genes are weak: stress, infections, and trauma. Limiting our exposure to toxins and traumas is vital for protecting our genes in the long term.

Five tips for dealing with old age:

1 Slow down. If your walking pace slows down in your forties, it’s a sign that you’re aging faster than expected. Walking is one of the most straightforward exercises to regain strength: five minutes a day, five times a week. Increase the workout to 30 minutes five times a week.

2 Sunspots. It is common to see brown spots on the face, hands, and arms after the age of 50. You can treat them with sunscreen, but you should consult a doctor if the spot is black, its shape changes, or if there is bleeding.

3 Memory problems. Memory changes are associated with aging. However, most cases of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia do not occur before age 65. You should eat healthy foods, keep up with social activities, and play sports to help keep your mind alive.

4 Joint pain. Not all older people experience joint stiffness, but the risk increases with age. After age 45, symptoms usually appear in men and after 55 in women. One hour of exercise a week can eliminate or reduce arthritis.

5 A significant turnaround in size. Body fat tends to accumulate with age. Greater waist circumference is associated with heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Regular physical activity and healthy eating eliminate excess belly and waist fat. Dark green leafy vegetables, calcareous vegetables, and seeds are essential in our diet.

This question has puzzled humanity for generations: Why do we age? As we age, our cells begin to deteriorate, resulting in a decline in our physical and cognitive abilities. Various factors, such as hormonal changes, DNA damage, and the accumulation of toxins in the body, cause this deterioration. Poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress accelerate the aging process. Aging is also related to a decrease in hormone production. With age, hormone production becomes erratic and causes a reduction in energy, libido, and muscle mass.
