Human aging is getting older chronologically, socially, and physically.
Our point of interest is in the phisycally aging process. Growing older is inevitable, but it can be made slower as it should be, or rapidly if we are ignorant of our health exercise and diet. For instance, gradual loss of bone tissue can be prevented by weight bearing exercises which help to increase bone mass and bone density. This will prevent fractures, and osteoporosis. Our bones are alive and respond when stimulated, by increasing bone mass. Any weight-bearing exercise will stimulate your bones. Not only that, but also anything that involves impact , like running, jogging, walking, dancing, etc. Routine exercise is a great way to stimulate your bones to be stronger.
- Chronologically, some people with a same birthday, will grow older to 49, 50, 51 and so on together and at the same time.
- Socially, there are people which are so childish at their 30 or 40 but there are people which are so wise and mature in thinking despite their relatively young age.
- Physically, all person will experience the aging process differently, depend on how we treat our body, health and fitness. Because of fitness exercises, a guy at 50 can appear younger than his fat belly friend who is only 45.

How
about aging impact on muscle ? Muscle too will decrease about 0.5 to 1 %
a year, if you leave it without exercises. This muscle atrophy or a
decrease in the size of the muscle, will go along with muscle tissue
quality reduction and a replacement of muscle fibres with fat, and
degeneration of the neuromuscular junction. Exercise is very important
to avoid muscle atrophy. It is also important not only for muscle but
the entire musculoskeletal system, neuromuscular responsiveness,
endocrine function, bone and bone joint, all need lifelong exercises.
Physical
exercise is the only way to prevent muscle and bone tissue lose over
time. It will enhance physical fitness and wellness, strengthening
muscle and cardiovascular system. Frequent and routine exercise will
augment the immune system and prevent cardiovascular disease, obesity
and diabetes. Physical exercise will improve body appearance with slim
waistline and body contour.
Tips to slow-down aging
- Exercise Your Brain
The brain, like
the rest of the body, needs exercises. Simple math, playing a special
brain games, knitting and learn a new languate, can exercise the brain.
Brain exercises do not produce new neurons but creating new connections
between them. Interconnections will keep the neurons live longer, but
lack of connections will eventually make a neuron cell die. When we 75,
10% of our neuron have died. So it is very important to use our brain
intensively and extentively, otherwise the cells will die rapidly, and
in turn, the brain develops the Alzeheimer Disease. So, keep on using
your brain cells, otherwise they will gradually lose their connections
and die eventually.
- Eat Well
Consume five
servings of fruits and vegetables, and three servings of whole grains
daily for vitamins and minerals each day as recommended by the U.S.
government. Take complex carbs like oatmeal, whole wheat bread, and
wild rice. Drink sufficient water, between 5-8 glasses or more to avoid
dehydration.
- Joyful and Forgiving Spirit
Religion or
spirituality has a positive effect on physical health and in fact, help
reduce suffering, bitter feeling, hate, by joyful, compassion and
forgiving others. Joyful heart will make your face more vibrant, and
confident to face life’s difficulties. Happiness by means of
spirituality will makes you healthier and slow the aging process.
- Exercise
Exercise is a
must-do to slow to fight the aging process. It prevent loss of bone
tissue and muscle atrophy (muscle size decreasing). It also prevent the
degradation of musculoskeletal system, neuromuscular responsiveness,
endocrine function, bone density and bone joint.
Hundreds of studies show that exercise combats the loss of stamina, muscle strength, body balance and osteoporosis that increases with age. Exercise should be practice consistently and in lifelong period. You can join a fitness class and attend the exercises !

- Maximize Your Intake of Antioxidants
Free radicals
which contribute to the onset of age-related diseases, have to be
obliterated by antioxidants. Take fruits and vegetables like tomatoes,
carrots and spinach as carotenoids, and blue and purple berries for
flavonoids. There are many classes of antioxidants that work
synergically, so they have to be taken from several kind of fruits and
vegetables.
- Sleep
Adequate sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle :
- A study in 2011 found that people that have enough sleep tend to live longer
- People with adequate sleep tend to have a sharpen attention
- People who have not enough sleep tend to have obesity problem.
