The social topic of social aging and delayed retirement has attracted everyone's attention in recent years, and the discussion about it is also endless. From a health perspective, we are more concerned about the aging process that occurs in the body, and more concerned about how old it is to really age. However, the new regulations marked by the United Nations World Health Organization on age classification recently surprised us! According to its regulations, a person's life should be divided into 5 stages, 0-17 years old is a minor, and 18-65 years old is a young person ... Netizens cried and laughed, according to this division, you and I can easily stay young forever, and the three generations of young people in the future are simply not dreams!

Perhaps WHO has its own logical thinking on the division of age, or perhaps its release refers to more latitudes, such as human quality, average life expectancy, social value and so on. However, from the perspective of the functions of the body, age is only a cold number. We cannot turn a blind eye to the real "degenerative processes" (i.e., aging) that occur physically. To take a simple example, programmers who are over 60 years old, although they are still young in age division, can their bodies really withstand high-intensity work like eighteen or nineteen-year-olds?
We have to admit the fact that each of us has been with us since the moment we are born, and birth means death, which is a philosophical problem, and we will not read too much without professionalism here. From the perspective of health, our body from birth, the tissues, organs, systems began to grow and develop, and when it matured, it will immediately enter the aging process, like a parabola.
It is difficult to accurately calculate the top of this parabola, because the time for each organ to enter aging is different, and each human body is different, the living habits are different, especially some bad living habits play an accelerating role. However, it is generally believed that 25 years old is a watershed in life, and the human body enters a period of decline at the age of 25.
Of course, 25 years old is just a generally recognized concept, and everyone should not feel that less than 25 years old is that the body is young. In fact, in addition to the accelerating effects of bad habits (such as smoking, drinking, staying up late, overeating, etc.), some organs age earlier than we think. For example, our brains, lungs, skin, etc., have entered the aging process after the age of 20. After the age of 20, you will find that your skin is getting worse and worse, it will become more and more difficult to learn new knowledge, and sometimes you will become breathless when you walk...
If the aging of the brain, skin, and lungs is difficult for us to detect, then the aging of some organs after the age of 30 is enough for most of us to experience deeply! For example, after the age of 30, the change in hormone levels, the hair sac contracts, the hair begins to fall out, and the white hair begins to appear; after the age of 30, the rate of decomposition of muscle tissue is greater than the rate of formation, weight loss becomes difficult, the skin looks no longer full, and the sense of balance becomes worse; after the age of 30, the hearing also begins to decline...
We often hear people say, "Before the age of 30, people look for illness, and after the age of 30, people look for people", when they were young, they did not understand such words, but after the age of 30, they found that once the youth passed, it was really no longer coming. I remember when I went to school, whether it was playing games or catching papers, even if I stayed up all night, after a little rest the next day, I was still full of energy. And now, staying up all night, I'm afraid that there is no three or two days is not adjusted, which is a good embodiment of aging.
In the face of irresistible natural laws, what we can do is to live well in the present, and start our own "anti-aging" plan as early as possible, slowly correct bad living habits, quit smoking and alcohol, eat lightly, start to pay attention to the nutritional value of food, do not stay up late, make a regular exercise plan, regular physical examination... The sooner these start, the sooner your body will benefit.
