Have you ever had this experience, when you walk down the street and see some young people, you sigh at your age and feel that you are old? Have you ever felt that when you do something that is usually easy, you feel strained and feel that you are old?
Actually, you don't have to worry too much, these are normal aging phenomena and are a process that everyone goes through. What changes will occur in our bodies after the age of 70, what do these changes mean, and how should we deal with them?
First, the height will be shortened
The shortening of height is mainly caused by osteoporosis, intervertebral disc degeneration, joint cartilage wear, muscle atrophy and other reasons. As we age, the body's bones and soft tissues gradually age, losing their elasticity and stability, resulting in a decrease in the body's support, resulting in a decrease in height. In general, the height of men will be shortened by 3-4 cm, and the height of women will be shortened by 4-6 cm.
The shortening of height will not only affect our appearance, but also our health. Shortening of height increases our risk of bone diseases such as fractures, spinal curvature, low back pain, and cervical spondylosis. The shortening of height will also affect our cardiopulmonary function, leading to problems such as increased blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and susceptibility to infections.
Second, the skin will sag
The laxity of the skin is mainly caused by the decrease of collagen and elastin fibers, the loss of subcutaneous fat, and the lack of moisture and oil.
As we age, the skin of the human body will gradually age, losing its original structure and function, resulting in sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles. In general, women's skin will be more sagging than men's skin because women's skin is thinner, more sensitive, and more affected by hormones.
The laxity of the skin will not only affect our appearance, but also our health. The laxity of the skin will reduce our skin's defenses, making us more susceptible to external irritants and infections, leading to inflammation and damage to the skin.
The laxity of the skin will also affect our psychological state, making us more prone to low self-esteem and depression, affecting our quality of life. Skin laxity is a common change in the body after the age of 70, we don't have to worry too much, as long as we take care of it, we can slow down the sagging of the skin and keep the skin healthy and beautiful.
3. Vision will deteriorate
The decline of vision is mainly caused by the aging of the eyes, the deformation of the eyeball, the cloudiness of the lens, and the degeneration of the retina. As we age, the human eye will gradually lose its original ability to adjust and sensitivity, resulting in vision decline and visual impairment.
In general, vision loss can manifest as problems such as myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Vision loss not only affects our quality of life, but also our safety and health.
The loss of vision will reduce our ability to read, write, work, play, etc., making our lives inconvenient and uninteresting. Decreased vision also increases our risk of accidents and dangers, making us more susceptible to accidents such as falls, collisions, mising, and even blindness or death.
Vision loss is a common change in the body after the age of 70, we don't have to worry too much, as long as we take care of it, we can slow down the decline of vision and keep our eyes healthy and bright.
Fourth, hearing will decline
The loss of hearing is mainly caused by the aging of the ear, the degeneration of the cochlea, the hardening of the eardrum, and the accumulation of earwax. As we age, the human ear will gradually lose its original sensitivity and conduction ability, resulting in hearing loss and hearing impairment.
In general, hearing loss can manifest itself as insensitivity to high-frequency sounds, allergies to low-frequency sounds, and difficulty in locating and distinguishing sounds. Hearing loss not only affects our communication and entertainment, but also our safety and health.
The loss of hearing will reduce our ability to speak and socialize, make our communication unsmooth and incomprehensible, and affect our interpersonal relationships and psychological state. Hearing loss can also increase our sense of danger and loneliness, making it easier for us to miss important information and warnings, and more difficult to enjoy entertainment such as music and television.
