If climbing the stairs, walking, or any other daily activity comes with great difficulty, it can happen not only because you’re out of shape and neglect exercising on a regular basis, but it can also be a
sign of a difference between your “official” and biological age.
After 40 years, the muscle volume begins to decrease. These are natural processes that can be slowed down by exercising regularly and can be accelerated by neglecting physical activity.
- How to prevent: choose activities that you like so you don’t have to force yourself every time. It can be yoga, dancing, riding a bicycle, or anything else you want to do. In everyday life always try to be active: instead of using the elevator, climb the stairs or choose to walk instead of taking a bus.
5. Noticeable hairloss
Loss of 50-125 hairs a day is considered to be normal for a healthy adult. But if you begin to notice more and more hairs on your brush and that the parting in the middle of your head becomes wider, then you should consult a doctor.
In most cases, signs of early baldness appear because of hormonal issues. With rapid aging, noticeable hair loss can also be observed in other parts of the body.
- How to prevent: choose the right hygiene products, try to enrich the diet with products rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and protect your hair from the sun.
6. Sleep disorders
Sleep disorders alone aren’t related to aging, but they’re the result of the influence of factors connected with aging.
People who are older than 60 years old may experience some common physiological changes when it comes to their sleep cycle. They may have trouble sleeping through the night and they may start to wake up earlier. This happens due to an age-related increase in the level of cortisol, which can cause feelings of anxiety during sleep. Signs of accelerated aging in the body can include sleep problems.
- How to prevent: yoga or swimming can help deal with stress and reading a book before going to sleep is more helpful than scrolling through your phone or watching TV.
When early signs of aging occur, you should immediately consult a doctor. Preventive measures can only delay the consequences of the problem without really resolving it. Please, keep in mind that self-medication doesn’t work in most cases.
