As aging is not a linear process, everyone ages differently and at separate periods. The American university has followed people aged 25 to 75 over several years. At regular intervals, she took blood, skin, oral, nasal and stool samples. Thousands of molecules and microorganisms present in the human body, which influence the immune system, cardiovascular health, renal function, the structure of the skin and muscles, have thus been analyzed.
What are the two ages where we take an “old -fashioned”?
By assessing the results, the researchers managed to define two specific ages, which indicate that the body takes a serious stroke of old. And according to their result, biological aging accelerates from 44 and 60 years.
From the age of 44, changes mainly concern the parameters involved in the metabolism of caffeine, alcohol and fat. This could explain certain digestive problems, as well as increased cholesterol as well as weight gain at this age. From this age, wrinkles also appear, corresponding to a faster change in connective tissue.
At 60, changes are linked to the immune system and renal function. This could explain why the risk of infections, cancers, kidney and cardiovascular problems increases from this age. The ability to metabolize sugars also decline, which accentuates the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
What to do to stay younger longer?
If we cannot stop the natural aging process, some tips can limit “these old -fashioned strokes”. This mainly involves the application of healthy practices, such as stopping smoking, drinking less alcohol, eating balanced, exercising physical activity and preserving your sleep. So many elements that allow you to stay young and healthy longer.
