2. AgingAging
Aging or ageing is a process that
accumulates changes in organisms or
objects over time. Human aging process
involves multidimensional changes on
physical, psychological, cultural and social
levels. This comprehensive guide provides
information on various health and lifestyle
subjects associated with aging, longevity
and old age.

5. What Happens
To Us As We
Age?

6. Trillions of cells in our body are
constantly changing, some get
destroyed or die and at the same
time new cells are formed every
minute, this accounts to our
body's growth. Birthdays are an
important event in everyone's life
that measures our age

7. What Happens to Our
Brain as We Age?

8. Some brain regions shrink, while
others remain stable as we age.
Aging of the brain also impairs
the ability of the brain to encode
or decode new memories and
facts, while processing speed and
reflexes decline.

9. What Happens to
Our Skin and Hair
as We Age?

10. This part of aging is visible and very
prominent. Our skin begins to develop
wrinkles and dark spots (normally
tagged as age spots also). The ability
of skin to produce oils reduces
resulting in dry and lusterless skin.
Hair becomes thinner than normal and
the changes in hair color from gray
initially to turning white eventually
marks aging.

11. What Happens to
Our Bones as We
Age?

12. The friction between the joints
increases (that is the lubrication
is reduced) causing pain while
moving. The bones also become
porous and there is a gradual yet
constant loss of density and
strength. Bones are reservoirs of
minerals like calcium and
phosphorus, but during the
process of aging there is a typical
depletion of these minerals
making bones fragile and weak.

13. What Happens to
Our Hearing and
Vision as We Age?

14. The retinas become thinner than usual
in aging eyes, the sharpness that
should be achieved in viewing objects
at a distance is impaired, objects
placed at a distance appear blurred.
The irises get stiffened, hence, the
pupils become less responsive and
more sensitive to glare. Eye problems
like cataracts and glaucoma are
common as you age. Aging also leads
to hearing loss. The eardrums thicken,
making hearing more difficult than
usual

15. What Happens to
Our Heart as We
Age?

16. As we age the blood vessels lose their
elasticity and the fatty deposition on
the artery walls makes the arteries
smaller or rather narrow the space for
the blood flowing through it. All these
factors make the heart work harder
than usual to pump the blood to other
parts of the body. The result is
hypertension, cardiac arrest,
arteriosclerosis and other serious
disorders.

17. Although aging comes in with it's
own discomforts like aches,
pains, sags and forgetfulness;
regular exercise, practicing
relaxation techniques, keeping
stress under control and taking
good care of your body and brain
can ensure more active and pain
free old age.

18. Wrinkles Around the MouthWrinkles Around the Mouth
Wrinkles around the
mouth is one of the
classic signs of aging,
and unfortunately, are
inevitable. However,
there are a few
techniques, which do
not cure the problem,
but do help in
improving it...

21. Wrinkles around the mouth, or as
popularly known as smile lines,
indicate the skin has started losing its
elasticity. With age, the skin tends to
grow thinner and less elastic. It even
becomes drier than before. The natural
oil that is produced during youth, is
produced less as the person ages. This
makes the skin go drier with time

22. factors which add to the effects factors which add to the effects
of aging of aging
The most common of them is exposure to ultraviolet
light. UV light destroys the collagen and elastin fibers
in the skin, without which the skin starts sagging and
wrinkling before time. Wrinkles around the mouth
from smoking is also common. Smoking worsens the
process of wrinkling by affecting the blood supply to
the skin, which in turn, manifests in the form of
wrinkles, not only in the facial area, but also in other
parts of the body, including the inner arms. One more
cause of wrinkles, which may be strange to know, is
associated with smiling, squinting and other facial
movements and expressions. Every time you make an
expression, it adds to the process of the skin losing its
elasticity. However, know that frowning has more
impact in causing wrinkles than smiling.

23. What to Do About Wrinkles around the Mouth?What to Do About Wrinkles around the Mouth?
One simple remedy for reducing wrinkles around mouth is to
massage coconut oil to the affected area, daily before going
to bed.
Prepare a face mask that would require yogurt (2 tsp),
lemon juice (½ tsp) and honey (½ tsp). To increase the
efficacy of this mixture, you can also add a few vitamin E
capsules to it. Use a cotton ball to apply this mixture to the
wrinkled area of the skin. Wait for about 15 minutes before
rinsing off. This is an inexpensive home remedy for wrinkles .
Applying lemon juice around the mouth also helps in
reducing fine lines.
Everyday before going to bed, massage the wrinkled areas
with any face cream, in an upward direction. This method
even helps in reducing wrinkles around the eyes .
Even rubbing pure castor oil around the corners of the
mouth helps in improving the appearance of wrinkles.

24. Measures to Reduce WrinklesMeasures to Reduce Wrinkles
prolonged exposure to the sun is one of the most common reasons
to develop premature wrinkles around the mouth and other parts of
the face
Day in and day out, the skin gets exposed to air pollution, the
effects of dry climate, dust, dirt, etc. Using proper cover against all
these elements also aids to your effort in preventing the onset of
wrinkles
Pay attention to your diet. No matter what you treat your skin with
externally, if your diet is not a healthy one, all your efforts will go in
vain. Chose a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly
those which are rich in antioxidants. Omega 3 fish oil is also a great
dietary option which goes in favor of a healthy and glowing skin.
Don't let your skin go dry. The drier the skin becomes, the more
wrinkled it will be. One of the simplest ways to not let your skin go
dry is to drink plenty of water (at least 8-9 glasses of water). Apart
from this, you can use products which help in keeping your skin
moist,

25. Use Lip Balms or Gels
Dryness results in shriveling up of cells around the lips,
causing them to wrinkle. Keeping the lips moist and
hydrated is important to prevent them from drying and
wrinkling. Thus, one should get a lip balm or lip gel and
apply it daily, even before going to bed. This keeps your lips
moisturized and hydrated.
Avoid Upper Lip Waxing
Since upper lip threading or waxing pulls the skin of the
upper lip a lot, frequent threading will conduce to lip
wrinkles. To avoid this, it is better to have a permanent hair
removal treatment done (laser treatment), so that one's
upper lip skin will not have to be stretched and pulled every
now and then. This will reduce the onset of lip wrinkles.
Read more on how to get rid of wrinkles naturally.
Regular Exfoliation
We all know how dead cells need to be cleared off the skin
periodically. Same goes for the lips as well. The lips have to
be cleared of their dead cells every two weeks. Exfoliation
will reveal the soft, beautiful skin beneath and will keep
them moist and hydrated. To exfoliate your lips take some
olive oil in a bowl and add some sugar to it. Add enough to
form a paste and gently rub this paste onto the lips with a
washcloth in circular motions. Then slowly wash off the
paste with tepid water and apply lip balm.

26. Growing Old Can Be Beautiful Growing Old Can Be Beautiful

28. some people can enjoy their late years. One of the
conditions is that they don’t struggle with regrets. Most
regrets come not from the wrong things we did, as we would
normally expect, but from things they had the opportunities
to do but they did not.
Most elder people rejoice with the fact that they have lots of
children and grand-children and this brings a lot of
satisfaction in their life. Some studies show that a thing
which leads to fulfillment for a great part of the elders is
spirituality, or the connection with God.

29. Aging ProcessAging Process

30. Every morning you rise up from bed and the
first thing you do is, observe yourself before
the mirror. Today, the morning was fine, but
your reflection expressed something
different. Few wrinkles and few strands of
gray hair make you wonder, 'am I aging?'
and you try to stretch your jaw to ensure if
the laughter lines have actually gained
prominence. The aging signs, thus, cannot be
missed out and you wish, 'if only I could
ignore'. It's difficult to imagine ourselves
growing old although the aging process is
inevitable and some or the other day every
human being undergoes this natural
phenomenon.

31. Aging Process - CausesAging Process - Causes
1. Cellular Changes:
Cellular multiplication slows down with age.
The rate of formation of T-lymphocytes of the
immune system decreases with age. This
makes the body susceptible to diseases.
Thus, immune breakdown triggers the human
aging process, as the body is now vulnerable
to a large number of diseases.

32. 2. Genetic Factors:
The genes associated with the
mechanism of programmed cell
death or apoptosis also affects
aging in individuals

33. 3. Environmental Factors:
Environmental stress associated with
exposure to excessive heat and light trigger
the activity of aging genes. Constant
exposure to toxins and poisons accentuate
the aging process. Poor oxygen conditions
and malnutrition are also responsible for
early aging.

34. 4. Health Conditions: There are certain genetic
disorders that completely change the phenotype of
an individual. Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome, Down
Syndrome and Werner’s Syndrome make human
beings look much older than their age.
Osteoporosis and arthritis are the main factors
governing aging process in women. The toxins
produced in Parkinson's disease degenerate the
neurons that hinders the memory of brain. In
Alzheimer’s disease, a substance known as
amyloid is produced that destroys the brain cells.
All these interferes with the normal aging process.

36. 5. Unhealthy Lifestyle: Aging process in men
is mainly brought about by over consumption of
alcohol and heavy smoking. Lack of exercise,
inadequate rest or sleep, mental stress show
symptoms of early aging. Other factors like
regular consumption of excessive spicy food and
caffeine renders an old look. Sloth and sluggish
lifestyle makes one feel old.

37. embracing old age with a positive
attitude shall always make you
feel young and for this reason,
Mark Twain has wisely spoken,
"Age is an issue of mind over
matter. If you don't mind, it
doesn't matter".

38. Sagging JowlsSagging Jowls

39. Sagging Jowls CausesSagging Jowls Causes
Aging
It is mostly the advancing age that is responsible for
the sagging jowls. Muscles generally start losing their
elasticity in the mid 30's but if regular exercises are
done you can postpone the appearance of sag.
Sagging jowls may be seen more prominently in the
early 50's.
Genetics
If you start getting sagging jowls at an early age;
possibly, the cause is genetic. If your elder family
members have developed sagging jowls when they
were pretty young then it is a hereditary factor. Doing
some exercises for sagging jowls might help prevent
early aging.

40. Being Overweight
It is also your weight that matters a lot when it some to a
saggy skin. More the weight, more are the chances of the
skin tissues spreading out. So hit the gym and do some
exercises before you start getting a sagging neck and
jawline.

Exposure to the Sun
Heavy exposure to the sun can lead to skin damage. Also,
the skin tissues might start drooping at a relatively early
age. Use a sunblock and wear a scarf or hat whenever you
are out in the late afternoons. Protect your skin from the
sun's heat; this will help in reducing sagging jowls.

41. Smoking
There are chances of getting sagging jowls
if you smoke a lot. Smoking can lessen the
flow of blood towards the skin. When the
flow of vitamin A and other essential
nutrients to the facial skin reduces, the
process of aging speeds up. Hence avoid
smoking to protect your skin from an early
sag.

42. Facial Exercises for Sagging Facial Exercises for Sagging
JowlsJowls
Lift your chin and turn your head towards the right
until you feel a stretch, now gradually turn your
neck towards the left and stay in that position for
about 3-4 minutes. Repeat this at least 5 times a
day, starting with 2 in the beginning.
Turn your head towards the right, look up and
move your lips up as if you are eating something.
Relax and after a few minutes look down and
repeat the same lip movement. Do this more than
15 times a day. It will help keep the skin tight.

43. Best Cream for Sagging Best Cream for Sagging


There are a lot of creams that are believed to be
good in curing sagging jowls. But no cream is the
best cream for sagging jowls as none of the
ointments can remove off all the excess sag from
your face. But, you can try using a good sunblock
or antioxidant creams. Use of peel offs or scrubs
can also help postpone aging. Also, sleep for 7-8
hours everyday and drink a lot of water. If you
want to lift sagging jowls in a single go, you could
go for a sagging jowls surgery.

44. Hairstyles for Sagging JowlsHairstyles for Sagging Jowls

As said above, sagging jowls is something that cannot be chucked
overnight. Even the exercises take time to work. But till then, no
need to worry, as cleverly styling your hair can help you hide the
sagging skin. Here are some sagging jowls hairstyles that can come
to your help. Opt for a hairstyle that will keep one's attention
towards your forehead instead of the jaw. This will make the
sagging jowls less obvious. Going for fringes that can curl up on
your forehead is also a good idea. A side-swept, blunt or straight
fringe or any other hairstyle with bangs that suits you face structure
can hide the sagging jowls to some extent. Also, fringes can conceal
the rumpled look of your forehead. Choose a short haircuts wherein
your hair hangs will fall near the chin area. If you have long hair, tie
it up in such a way that it enhances hair volume near the forehead
area, giving you a younger look, while also hiding the sagging skin.

Fine lines under
eyes, for some, is
good news as they
love the happy,
smiley look it gives

appearing, women
start losing their
sleep over it. These
fine lines under eyes
are the first sign of
aging

46. Causes of Fine Lines Under Causes of Fine Lines Under
EyesEyes
As one ages, the elastin fibers and
the collagen present in the skin
around your eyes and mouth starts
breaking down. Your skin also starts
losing its moisture content, and it
also loses the ability to renew itself as
compared to earlier. Hence, you end
up with dry skin, which is like a haven
for wrinkles and fine lines

These horizontal lines keep on getting pronounced
and more visible with your flexing of the neck. You
may notice vertical lines on your neck. They also

reason behind their appearance is not aging but
sunlight exposure and sleeping patterns. Whatever
be the cause, neck wrinkles spoil your physical

count of 10 is sufficient to begin with.

62. Aging Skin: Elasticity in Aging Skin: Elasticity in
Aging SkinAging Skin

63. Avoid Sun Exposure
. The sun's harmful UB and UBV rays drain all the
water from the skin, increase the melanin levels
and thereby give the skin a very leathery and
stretched out look. Continuous exposure leads to
loss of skin elasticity. Not only does one face
danger when they are out in the sun, but the sun's
rays can cause havoc, even when one is indoors.
Therefore it is necessary to use sun protection in
the form of sun screen for the skin (SPF 30 or
more). Also make sure that you cover all parts of
your body when in direct contact with the sun's
rays and avoid stepping out during hours when the
sun's rays can inflict the most damage (11 am - 4
pm).

64. Exercise Regularly
Doing some form of exercise is such an important factor to
prevent the loss of skin elasticity, that there can be volumes
written on it. But for now, a brief overview.
Exercising helps flush out all the toxins from your body,
improve blood circulation (extremely important for skin care
), supply more oxygen and nutrients to the body and
regulate the hormones. Hormonal imbalance can wreak
havoc in your body and the direct result will be seen on your
skin. The skin will look paler and loose. Exercising will also
improve muscle mass, which is an important factor in
restoring and maintaining skin elasticity. One other major
advantages is that it will lead to the metabolism of vitamin D
and therefore lead to improved skin health.

65. Quit Smoking
If you don't then there's one thing there taken
care of. But for those who do, try to give up
smoking and it will show results. You might not
feel any loss of skin elasticity while you are in your
youth, but smoking will cause the aging and
damaging of the skin to hit you faster. Smoking
causes the blood vessels to constrict, thereby
preventing proper intake of oxygen and other
nutrients essential for the body to maintain
elasticity of skin

66. Intake of Healthy Diet
There are certain foods for skin elasticity restoration and
improvement that can be included in your diet. These
contain essential minerals and vitamins like vitamin E and C.
Here are some of them:
Strawberries
Blackberries
Corn
Egg yolk
Artichoke hearts
Broccoli
Flaxseed (Omega fatty 3 acids)
Water
Dark green leafy vegetables
The general advantage of including these foods in your diet
is that they will provide you with the essential antioxidants
to fight free radicals, along with amino acids, vitamin E,
vitamin C and folic acid, and will supplement you with a
bounty of collagen (which is responsible for skin elasticity).

67. Human Life ExpectancyHuman Life Expectancy

68. Human Life Expectancy
Human life expectancy is defined as 'the average age that a
group of new born people would reach, if they are subjected
to the age specific death rates in a particular year'. Human
life expectancy is also considered as the expected number of
years of life remaining, at a given age. Mostly, human life
expectancy at birth is taken into consideration. Aging is an
unavoidable factor of human life. The life expectancy of a
group of individuals may vary according to the criteria used
to select the group. Human life expectancy is usually
calculated separately for males and females. According to
the CIA World Factbook, Macau has the world's highest life
expectancy of 84.4 years. Here is a table showing average
human life expectancy in the countries which top the list
made by the United Nations (2005-2010) and also the
countries which have lowest human life expectancy.

70. Factors Influencing Human Life Expectancy
The human life expectancy is different in different
parts of the world because of the differences in public
health, medical care and diet. Wars, starvation and
spread of the diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, etc.
are responsible for much of the excess mortality in
poorer nations. Climate, economic circumstances,
gender also have an effect on human life span and the
way data is collected may also influence the figures.
Life expectancy is also affected by exposure to high
levels of air and water pollution. It is a fact that well-
educated professionals working in offices have a high
life expectancy, while coal miners (and in prior
generations, asbestos cutters) do not. Other factors
affecting the life expectancy are genetic disorders,
mental illnesses, physical illnesses, obesity, stress,
access to health care, diet, exercise, tobacco smoking,
drug use and excessive alcohol use.

Neck lift surgery is performed by the
cosmetologists, and it can no doubt improve the
look of the neck. However, like other types of
surgery, this one also poses certain risks,
including the risk of swelling, surgical scar and
nerve injury, if the nerves of the skin and muscle
tissues get damaged, while pulling the skin by the
surgeon.

78. Skin Care for Sagging SkinSkin Care for Sagging Skin
Use a skin care product that can stimulate the production of
collagen and elastin, and protect it from the harmful free
radicals. Skin care products that contain vitamin A, E and
coenzyme Q10 can prove excellent for making the skin firm
and supple, while protecting it from free radical damage.
On the other hand, products that contain copper peptides
and bio active form of keratin, known as cynergy TK can
help to accelerate the production of collagen. Skin care
products with hydroxy acids can help to exfoliate the dead
skin cells, and promote the generation of new cells. Another
active ingredient in a large number of anti-wrinkle or anti-
aging creams is 'phytessence wakame'. It is the substance
that can stimulate the production of hyalunoric acid, which is
also required to maintain the elasticity of the skin

The oldest man in America passed away on Saturday at the
age of 112 from congestive heart failure.
George Francis lived through three centuries and was
witness to everything that occurred during that time. Francis
lived through both world wars (World War 1 and
World War 2), as well as the advent of the automobile, the
telephone, the television, computers, and the election of the
first black president in U.S. history.
Francis was born in New Orleans in 1896 and was brought
up under the repression of the Jim Crow South. He was
denied the right to fight in World War I because of his race.
He would quit school in the sixth grade to start boxing and
would eventually become a chauffeur, an auto mechanic and
a barber. His wife died of cancer in 1964.

86. Francis is survived by his four children - three daughters and
a son. He also has 18 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren,
and 16 great-great-grandchildren. Those kinds of numbers
must make family gatherings especially interesting.
His son, Anthony Francis, said that his family always
attributed his father's longevity to his physical and mental
toughness. He also said that his father was especially
excited about the election of Barack Obama and he
explained in recent interviews that he was a strong believer
in the peoples' duty to vote in America.
Now that George Francis has died, the oldest man in
America is Walter Breuning of Montana. Breuning is 112
years and 98 days old. The world's oldest person is Maria de
Jesus of Portugal - she is 115 years and 109 days old.
