Preface
There is a saying that after the age of 60, life has officially entered the countdown.
As we age, the function of various organs in the body will also decline, and after the age of 60, we will enter the old age period, and aging is an inevitable problem for everyone.
As people age, they will experience hearing and vision loss, memory loss, and a series of physical changes. If you notice these 5 changes in your body, it proves that you are really old.
After the age of 60, these 5 places will change significantly
1. Hair
First of all, hair is the most obvious feature we can see, when people are young, there are many black and bright hair, but once people are old, their hair will become gray and thin.
At a certain age, the organs gradually age, the human scalp will also age, and after the hair follicles gradually shrink, the melanin will also decrease, which will lead to the gray hair that grows, and there will also be signs of hair loss.
If you notice gray hair and severe hair loss after the age of 60, this is a normal phenomenon.
But if gray hair appears at the age of thirty or forty, then it is necessary to consider whether there are some pathological factors.
In addition to normal aging, gray hair will grow, and there are many factors that will also grow gray hair, such as genetics, lack of trace elements, excessive mental stress, etc.
2. Facial skin
Aging is also reflected in the facial skin of the human body, when people are young, the facial skin is very delicate, shiny, and has a certain elasticity.
As the human body ages, the elasticity of the skin will also decrease, and the face will become dry, which is caused by the loss of oil.
At the same time, the skin of the face will gradually become saggy, due to the gradual loss of oil in the deep layers of the skin, without the support of oil, the skin will also show a sagging phenomenon, and at this time, the gap on the face will gradually increase, and the forehead lines, nasolabial folds, and eye bags will become very obvious.
Wrinkles and enlarged pores are the most important parts of aging, and in addition to the loss of oil, the collagen in the skin will also be lost.
However, there are also many bad Xi that can cause collagen loss and increased wrinkles, such as long-term exposure to sunlight, exposure to polluted environments, and long-term smoking and smoke.
In this case, it will irritate the pores of the skin, which will cause blood vessels to constrict or lack oxygen to the pores, and the collagen in the skin will be lost rapidly, so the aging rate of the skin will be accelerated.
3. Teeth
After the aging of the human body, the teeth will also age, and the phenomena of tooth aging include widening of the gap between the teeth, loosening of the teeth, and abnormal sensitivity of the teeth.
Teeth are the hardest thing in the human body, and if you find that your teeth are experiencing these conditions, then it means that you have entered the aging stage.
The enlargement of the gap between the teeth is mainly due to the atrophy of the gum tissue and the loss of calcium in the teeth, after the gum tissue shrinks, the gum tissue around the teeth will become loose, causing the tooth opening to slowly expand.
The gap between the teeth will also become larger, and after too much calcium loss over time, the teeth will begin to loosen and fall out.
Another point is that the sensitivity of teeth after aging is relatively high, and when the elderly eat some spicy and irritating, excessively cold and hot foods, it will irritate the gums and cause the gums to swell and sore, and the sensitivity to these foods will increase.
4. Eyes
People's eyes are one of the main organs of communication with the outside world, and when the eyes begin to gradually become blurry and unable to see clearly, vision decreases significantly, which is the most common phenomenon in degenerative aging in old age.
If it is not acquired due to some factors caused by myopia, then it is normal for vision to change after the age of 60.
Secondly, due to the excessive loss of adipose tissue in the skin in old age, the eyeballs will also appear to sunken inward, which is caused by the reduction of fat around the orbits.
These physiological changes in the eyes will also lead to a decrease in light and dark adaptability, color vision changes and changes in visual field in the elderly, and gradually produce the phenomenon of presbyopia, so it is necessary to wear reading glasses at this moment.
5. Relaxation of body muscles
As we age, our body functions shrink and the amount of muscle in our body decreases, resulting in weakness and imbalance.
Growth hormone in the human body has a great impact on the growth and function of muscles, once people reach old age, growth hormone will be lost rapidly, which will affect the growth of muscles, and the phenomenon of relaxation will occur.
There are also many elderly people who do not like to exercise when they get older, and the body muscles are not stimulated and exercised, which will also lead to muscle loss.
If you find that after the age of 60, there are some mobility difficulties, such as falling easily when walking, not being able to lift heavy objects, or breaking bones due to certain factors, it means that your body has been fully aging.
And in this case, it will also greatly affect your quality of life.
Aging is inevitable for all of us, and everyone wants to be young all the time, but it is undeniable that aging is irreversible.
Since you can't stay young all the time, there are many ways to help us slow down the rate of aging.
1. Maintain a reasonable diet
Balanced diet and reasonable nutrition are the most basic measures to delay aging, and reasonable diet refers to ensuring that the nutrients in the food are complete and appropriate in the daily diet, which can effectively meet the daily needs of the human body.
The nutrients required by the human body mainly include protein, minerals, vitamins, etc., which are ingested through food, so a reasonable diet plays a very important role in the health of the human body.
Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and meat and eggs.
Daily intake of sufficient nutrients can reduce the occurrence of diseases, thereby delaying the aging of the body.
2. Maintain proper exercise
Life lies in exercise, exercise can help to strengthen muscles, and you can do more aerobic exercise every day.
First of all, running can promote blood circulation, speed up the body's metabolism, and effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Long-term running can effectively enhance the antioxidant enzymes in the body, and the elimination of harmful substances in the body through fat burning can help delay aging.
Aerobic exercise also includes swimming, cycling, mountaineering, jogging, etc., which can improve cardiopulmonary function and enhance one's own resistance.
The elderly can choose aerobic exercise suitable for themselves according to their preferences, which can not only enhance their physical fitness and improve their quality of life, but also effectively prevent aging and prolong life.
