HOW TO RESIST AGING FOR A BETTER LIFE
Even though it is a natural process that we will all eventually face, aging is a mysterious phenomenon that can only be truly understood if its experienced. Because of the infinite organic changes that place in the body during aging, it's hard to pinpoint aging as one, unique event.

Like all organic substances, a shelf life is assigned to every living creature. Just like food can go bad overtime, so is the case of the human body. You can store cereal for over a year - its shelf life. Store it incorrectly however, and its shelf life will be reduced. Whether the cereal is stored properly or improperly, its taste and texture will change as time goes by. Why is this? The cereal, like the human body can exist under specific conditions. After its shelf-life reaches a certain point, the cereal's composition changes. If it is not protected while in storage, it can turn foul before its assigned shelf-life is over.

The human body was deigned to endure over 100 years of life. Nevertheless, specific lifestyles can seriously modify the true life expectancy of a human being. Today, humans' life expectancy averages around 75 years of age. The difference lies in the effects of the world we live in today, which is filled with chemicals, pollutants, preservatives, and other synthetic products that alter our body's endurance and life span. Aside from the detrimental effects of common environmental factors, aging is also ruled by genetic factors passed down by generations of family history. Hereditary traits play a crucial role in how an individual will age, and they are especially important after the age of 30, which is when the aging process beings to take place. At this time, hereditary traits are more likely to develop as the body's preparation is reduced. In air of reduced immune function, disorders can develop more readily.

To simplify the definition of aging, it's a phenomenon occurs in our bodies as soon as we stop developing, and it increases exponentially as time goes by. Aging consists mainly of the deterioration of body tissues as a result of wear and tear on the body throughout the years. While everyone ages differently, the effects of aging are the same in all of us. To best preserve our bodies, it's all about identifying how we are aging so as to tackle our aging weaknesses. * Understanding Aging Ahhh, the matter of aging. How can we understand this unstoppable demon that attacks us inside out? How can we accept this fatality? Just the thought of aging can make anyone stop on their tracks. Although we were always told that "one day we will also grow old," as teenagers we couldn't help but think that we had all the time in the world. But it's true; we are starting to age. How can we ignore the creases around our eyes? Or our youthful complexion and tone fading away? It's hard not to think of how aging will affect us in the long run, and if we are, in fact, prepared for its effects.

But aging doesn't have to be as scary and unpredictable as it seems. In fact, with a bit of knowledge and guidelines, facing the changes brought on by aging can be quite easy. Because aging affects the body inside and out, it is important to understand our bodies, including how they work and what they are made of. An intricate process in itself, aging affects every single one of our organs. To shake the unpredictability of this process, thorough knowledge of the structure and function of our organs is the first step.

In future newsletters, we will address the way aging affects each individual organ, and we will also go over the structure and function of that organ. Once we've gone through the essentials, you will know exactly what to expect. Aging is an inevitable process that we are all bound to go through eventually. Because of its way of limiting our bodies and minds, getting old can be perceived negatively. But remember that with age also comes knowledge, understanding, and wisdom - three aspects of life we all pursue, but that can only be mastered with old age.

Stay tuned for future newsletters to better understand aging as it comes. The more you learn about it, the more you will be able to enjoy your achievements and wisdom without having to wonder what's next.
Aging affects every inch of our bodies. Aging is a slow deterioration of cells, which takes a toll on our vital organs, functions, bodily tissues, and brain. Aside from its physical effects, aging also affects our emotions, which are shaped by years of responding to stimuli in specific ways. The aging body goes through a series of changes that have direct impact on how it will later function. As we age, the main organic changes are a follows:
Don't miss it:
(1) Vessels' blood carrying volume is reduced, due to calcification and collagen deposits in veins, arteries, and capillaries feeding the entire body. Blood flow is thereby reduced, along with the oxygenation of bodily tissues.
(2) The heart's blood-pumping chambers gather layers of connective tissue that diminish its capacity and holding volume. Blood flow is also reduced and oxygenation diminished.

(3) Lungs lose the elastic recoil that allow for the proper exchange of oxygenated and deoxygenated air. As a result, air remains in the bottom of the lungs, diminishing the amount of oxygen entering the blood. The tissues within the lungs also loose their functioning ability, reducing the amount of available oxygen even further.
(4) The digestive tract loses its readiness to absorb nutrients and becomes blocked with the growth of intestinal flora and yeasts that prevent proper absorption.
Take a look at:
(5) The neurons in the brain die over the years, and nerve connections become less and less functional. Electric synapses between nerves and neurons are reduced and the response to stimuli is delayed.
(6) The skin's ability to stretch and flex is significantly inhibited in air of the physical changes that take place within its layers. Suffering dehydration and diminished production of collagen and elastin, the skin is more prone to sagging and wrinkling, acquiring a dull appearance and roughening in texture.
1) Smoking: Smoking accelerates the accumulation of calcium and fat deposits in the arteries and capillaries. It reduces the body's ability to carry blood by replacing the hemoglobin with a mutated form that binds better to carbon monoxide, as opposed to oxygen. Aging significantly affects our lungs' ability to acquire oxygenated air, and since the heart's ventricular capacity to store blood is also diminished with age, smoking can dramatically accelerate the effects of aging. Smoking sometimes mimics the aging process by dehydrating the skin and increasing the appearance of pores and fine lines.

2) Drinking Alcohol: Drinking increases our cells' ability to bind to fat, increasing deposits in arteries and veins. It also affects our liver, disintegrating its surface and causing scar tissue to replace these parts. Liver cirrosis occurs after a significant amount of scar tissue forms on the surface of the liver, preventing it from effecting its cleansing job correctly. The formation of connective and scar tissue on our organs is a natural process that is also brought on by age. As drinking severely increases scar tissue production around the liver and dehydration of tissues, this habit will undoubtedly accelerate the aging process.

3) Sedentary Lifestyle: Exercise has been proven to be a wonderful way to maintain healthy function of the body. It aids in the balancing of electrolytes and hormones within the body, enhances our resilience to stress, and improves our mood with its production of endorphins.
Don't forget:
Exercise also maintains muscular and neural function, activating neural synapses regularly and building an important muscle memory. Maintaining muscle memory is essential to slowing down aging. If muscles are not used regularly, the connections between the nerves and myofibers within the muscles are lost. This causes a lack of response to stimuli, eventually resulting in the premature death of unused myofiber cells composing the muscle.
"Older people find it hard to move." Because of changes to the construction of muscles, joints, and bones, a gradual degeneration of tissue occurs in the aging body. As a result, movement of limbs and joints can become restricted and the aging individual can find it painful to move, bend, or flex joints.
Don't forget:
"Older people think slow." The brain also suffers as the body ages, diminishing in nerve connections as time goes by. As a result, the aging brain takes a longer time to respond to stimuli, sometimes lacking a response altogether in air of brain cell death. "Older people smell funny." As the skin changes its structure, it also acquires a different scent. Skin goes through thinning and decreased flexibility, as well as dehydration and unevenness, when we age.
Don't miss:
"Older people lose their memory." As part of the aging of the brain, the ability of the frontal lobe and hippocampus to function is limited. These two areas play a vital role in the retention of memory. As the nerve endings become damaged and neurons die off, the capacity to retain specific memories is reduced. Because of this, older people are known for having memory problems, especially with short-term memory.
Remember to go to:
"Older people find it hard to hear." Aging is a general phonemenon that affects every single part of our bodies. The hearing organ is also inhibited as age takes it toll. As the years go by, the vessels within the ear suffer from calcification and collagen depositing, which inhibits the individual's ability to respond to sound stimuli and register sound waves of specific pitches. The bones within the ear also deteriorate with time, along with the ear drum, which loses its vibrating ability as it ages.
