“Old and old, this old man has cold legs. He gets cold at every turn, and he can’t keep himself warm when he sleeps for a long time at night.”

“That’s right, I These eyes, I can’t see things clearly now, the shadows are heavy, don’t you think it’s strange.” People say old is old.

Aunt Liu, who was passing by, also echoed. “My waist has been in pain for a few years. Sometimes it’s sore and swollen. It’s uncomfortable when I’m old, eh.”

“That’s right, my son Let me go to the hospital, I said this is because I am old and not sick, so seeing a doctor won’t help.”

Old Chen said in a mocking tone: ” You can’t accept it.” The three of them laughed.

One, 60-year-old is fully aging, like installing an “accelerator”

From birth, people’s life is constantly aging. Some people say that the body begins to decline at the age of 30, and some people say that people who are over 60 are old people. So, when exactly does aging begin?

It turns out that aging does not happen at a uniform rate. At 3 age points, you may find yourself getting old all at once. A 2019 study published in the journal “Nature Medicine” pointed out that at the age of 34, 60 and 78, there will be three “cliff-style” aging turning points.

Researchers analyzed changes in protein levels in the blood of 4,263 people aged 18-95 and found that 1,379 proteins changed with age, and The peaks occurred at 34, 60 and 78 years old, respectively.

After the age of 60, you may often feel powerless, whether it is physical or mental, there are changes. Health Times describes that after the age of 60, the body has entered the stage of aging in an all-round way. If you don’t pay attention to health care, 60 years old may become a node from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Second, people tend to age, and there are usually four major manifestations

“Old age” is a fact that no one wants to face, because old age means changes in appearance, physical decline, and shortened life expectancy. When you find yourself exhibiting the following 4 major manifestations, you should pay attention, it may be a signal of aging, and you should take timely intervention measures to delay the speed of aging.

1. Gastrointestinal signals

at a certain age, the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract decline, It can be clearly felt that the speed of gastrointestinal peristalsis is not as fast as when you were young, and the digestive ability is gradually weakened, and symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating and constipation often appearabdominal discomfort.

2. Facial signal

With age, The soft tissue in the nose area gradually loses its elasticity and the nose appears to have been squeezed and may become flattened and the nostrils more prominent. At the same time, large poressometimes also means that the skin is gradually aging. With the continuous loss of collagen, the skin loses its support and gradually becomes dry and loose.

3, height signal

When you get to a certain age,height seems to get shorter inexplicably, this is because with age Growth, the discs in the spine weaken, thin, and shorten. In addition, back may also become more and more hunched as the muscles in the back become slack and unable to pull back and the spine It will naturally bend forward, resulting in a hunchback.

4. Foot Signals

The feet will also have obvious signs of aging, One is the arch of the foot is collapsed, the ligaments are loosened, and the dorsum of the foot is flattened; /span>, thick calluses and corns may also grow.

Third, when these symptoms appear, don’t mistake them for old age

< span>However, in daily life, some people often have some symptoms that they mistaken for their own aging. In fact, it may not be related to aging, but is caused by disease. We must be vigilant and not miss any clues and let “aging” take the blame. For example:

·The dark shadow in front of the eyes is foggy

When you reach a certain age, your eyesight will continue to grow. When descending, sometimes there will be a dark shadow in front of you, as if there is a layer of haze, blocking the line of sight. This situation may be caused by floaters, cataracts or vitreous hemorrhage, and you should seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid delaying treatment.

·Running nose and sputum often with blood

For the elderly, due to the continuous decline of the body’s immunity, it is easy to runny nose and phlegm when there is a large temperature difference. However, if there is a runny nose and expectoration, And if there is blood in the sputum, it is also accompanied by symptoms such as headache, unilateral nasal congestion, hoarseness, and vision loss, so you should be alert to whether there is a skull base tumor.

·Lower abdominal pain and soreness in the lower back

Older, the waist is not good, especially for Older women may experience lower abdominal pain and soreness from time to time.It should be noted whether it is related to pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse is a degenerative disease, and the main focus is on prevention. You can usually do more pelvic floor muscle exercises to avoid overwork. If the situation is more serious, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

·Cold numbness in the lower limbs while walking

If you often feel cold in your legs and feet, muscle soreness, Numbness, take a break after walking for a short distance, and be alertlower extremity arteriosclerosis and occlusion. Lower extremity arteriosclerosis and occlusion are easily confused with leg aging or lumbar disc herniation. It is common in the elderly with hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and other diseases. You should learn to distinguish and not simply think that it is a manifestation of aging.

Fourth, aging is inevitable, follow the mentality of academicians

Aging is inevitable, and everyone will eventually age. What does Han Qide, honorary chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, think?

When people age, not only the physiological function declines, but also the progression of certain diseases may be accelerated. With the general decline of immunity, the ability to resist infection decreases, and the risk of cancer, dementia and other diseases increases, and often multiple diseases may coexist.

Therefore, some elderly people may take seven or eight kinds of medicines a day, or even a dozen kinds of medicines, which poses a safety hazard. Drugs have toxic side effects, and there may be superimposed reactions between drugs and drugs, and the effects of drugs may conflict with each other. The academician said that in seeing a doctor, the elderly must distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions and pay more attention to systematic analysis.

Academician Han Qide said that in the face of aging, we can make a difference and coexist peacefully with it. We can prevent premature aging caused by unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking, drinking, sedentary, etc., and quit bad habits. At the same time, advocate a healthy lifestyle.

The academician mentioned that starting 3 years ago, he has to do it 2-3 times a week After the fitness training, I can feel that my physical condition is constantly improving, and it seems that the speed of aging has slowed down.

In addition to the physical level, it is also important to learn to face aging at the psychological level. Some people feel that they are useless when they are old, and they are unhappy all day long. Some people have a good attitude and maintain the love of life. Different attitudes will affect the quality of old age. Academicians believe that young people are good for young people, and old people are good for old people. When we reach a new stage of life, we must open our hearts to accept and feel, let go of the past, and welcome our longings. Live!
