The first thing I felt was the "stiffness" of the joints. Wearing the leg restraints and elbow restraints in the experience teaching aids, the reporter felt that the two legs could not be bent, and the arms would not listen at all. Wearing clothes, an action that we can proficiently close our eyes to complete, has now become one. A very difficult thing: the two arms cannot be extended, and the maximum level can only be raised 30 degrees, and it is impossible to lift the head at all.

Second, the feeling of aging is "curved". Do you know what it feels like to be aging?

Tie tightly to your spine, and under its effect, your back must bend; on both sides near your neck, there is an extended baffle on each side. Their existence makes it impossible for you to turn your neck at will.

Third, the feeling of aging is "fuzzy". Wearing blindfolds and earplugs, the reporter's eyes were dim, as if in a sandstorm, he could only see things directly in front of him. The clock on the wall that I could see clearly just now, not only can't see the hands, but also feels that the distance is farther than before. The earplugs made the reporter almost disoriented, unable to tell where the sound was coming from.

Aging starts at the age of 30

"Actually, aging does not come suddenly. Although the symptoms of aging you experience are a bit exaggerated, in reality they do appear gradually as we age. We have to let our bodies adapt slowly. People should adapt to aging, not fear it. Dr. Huang Youpeng, a member of the Society of Clinical Immunology of the Swiss Federal Academy of Medical Sciences, director of the Beijing Institute of Anti-aging Life Sciences, and has been studying anti-aging subjects in Europe for many years, told reporters. Human aging begins at the age of 30.

Before the age of 30, people are in the growth and development period and gradually mature; after the age of 30, the body begins to go downhill, and cells age at an average annual rate of 1%-5%; after the age of 50, the speed is faster; after the age of 60-70 Full aging.

"A healthy person gradually loses 40% of his large muscle groups from the age of 65. This will make him feel strenuous at work and get tired quickly. Huang Youpeng said that starting from this period, as the tendons atrophy, your waist and legs will feel stiffness and pain, and your physical strength will drop rapidly. As the cartilage plates in the joints of the whole body gradually become thinner and the bone density decreases, the joints will feel pain when moving.

Eyes age from 40 years old, and it is very hard to observe things up close. Then, the eyes are less able to adapt to different intensities of light and are more sensitive to glare. Around the age of 55, hearing begins to age, the ear canal wall becomes thinner, the eardrum thickens, and it becomes difficult to hear high-frequency sounds. The internal organs age at different times. Generally speaking, the heart begins to age after the age of 40, and the gastrointestinal and digestive system begins to experience aging symptoms, such as indigestion or senile constipation, from around 55 years old.

The more you move, the slower you age

"Everyone is very different from one person to another. Some people bend their backs, hunch back, and lose their teeth before the age of 60, but some people are still not deaf or dazzling even after they are 90 years old. "Professor Zhang Guoxi from the Institute of Geriatrics, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences reminded that as long as the following three points are achieved, aging is not so terrible.

Change living habits such as diet and daily life. "A German study found that elderly people living in nursing homes who receive comprehensive care have a higher mortality rate. This shows that as long as the elderly do not completely lose their ability to take care of themselves, they still have to strive to do more by themselves, such as housework, otherwise the body will age faster. Zhang Guoxi said that in addition, after the age of 50, you must ensure sleep. With the decline of kidney function, the number of times the elderly wake up at night will increase. If you always run to the toilet, it is easy to cause insomnia. It is better to put a spittoon at the head of the bed so that you can continue to sleep immediately after you urinate. Attention should also be paid to diet. For example, honey can be used instead of sugar. Honey is a simple sugar and will not cause a large amount of insulin secretion after eating, and blood sugar will not rise quickly.

Do more exercises
To
Some people think that as long as you keep exercising, you can delay aging. There is nothing wrong with this theory, but you must choose the right sport. For example, climbing a mountain can exercise and absorb fresh air, but the elderly have a high incidence of bone and joints, and their joints are fragile. When climbing a mountain, the weight of the whole body must be placed on the knee joint, which is very unhealthy. Exercises that are truly suitable for the elderly will not cause too much burden on a certain part of the body. The best exercises to reduce the burden are swimming and Tai Chi. In addition, some simple bed exercises are also load-reducing exercises, and they are easy to perform. Accept aging and peace of mind.

Li Juan, director of the Research Center for Geriatric Psychology, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out that aging is a process that everyone must go through. For people who are just entering old age, adjusting their mentality is a prerequisite for a happy old age. Learn to accept the fact that you are aging and accept the changes that occur in your physiology. For people who have just retired, they must find ways to give themselves new sustenance, such as picking up some hobbies when they were young. For young people, understanding the feeling of aging in advance not only reminds everyone to pay attention to the body in normal times, and makes aging come later, but also allows people to understand and care for the elderly. When helping the elderly, use an equal mentality instead of a charity or giving mentality. This is true respect for the elderly.
