AGEING: A POWERFUL TOOL OF TIME

Ageing is the process of becoming older.In humans, ageing represents the accumulation of changes in a human being over time, encompassing physical, psychological, and social change. Reaction time may slow with age, while knowledge of world events and wisdom may expand. Ageing is among the greatest known risk factors for most human diseases: of the roughly 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds die from age-related causes.

Ageing begins as soon as adulthood is reached and is as much a part of human life as are infancy, childhood, and adolescence. The causes of ageing are uncertain as it is a natural process that cant be put to a stop or denied.However with the advancement in technology the mortality rate has decreased much as now many diseases which were the cause of early human deaths can now be cured.

Many persons consider ageing to be a sin in their life as they think that now they have aged they cant do that much of fun that they usually did in their teenage or early 20's. But this all is a physcological thing. It all depends on that person how he or she takes his or her ageing .

These all are the physcological things that one has to keep it in mind while going through his or her life span. But there are some ageing effects that everyone faces and no one can deny that. 

Some of these effects are as follow :

• Hair turns grey with age. Pattern hair loss by the age of 50 affects about half of males and a quarter of females
• Around a third of people between 65 and 74 have hearing loss and almost half of people older than 75.
• Fraility, defined as loss of muscle mass and mobility, affects 25% of those over 85
• Atherosclerosis is classified as an ageing disease. It leads to cardiovascular disease ( for eg. strokes and heart attacks) which globally is the most common cause of death.
• Wrinkles develop mainly due to photoageing, particularly affecting sun-exposed areas (face)

These are some of the effects that can't be ignored. In the lapse of ageing a person must take care of himself to live a healthy life. For this the person must be regular to exercise, health check-ups and all.

He or she must should take his or her medicines on time and the last and the foremost thing is that the person should adopt an optimistic approach towards life and should never feel alone.

REMEMBER: SOME PEOPLE ARE YOUNG AT 90 AND SOME OLD AT 18, IT'S ONLY HOW YOU SEE LIFE AND MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT EVEN IN YOUR END DAYS.
