Negative Effects On Aging

The process of aging has been around as long as life itself. All living organisms pass through three broad stages from conception to death, which are maturation, maturity and aging. Aging affects everyone because nearly everyone has the potential to grow old and all the societies in which we live have older members (Macdonald, 1997). Gerontology is the use of reason to understand aging. The term was used to refer to the scientific study of aging, but nowadays it includes the study of aging using views from other disciplines such as humanities, social policy and human services. To correctly understand aging,

Humans are born already aging. There is know way to stop the process of getting older. As people age it is important that services and rescores are set up to

Fruits and vegetables, fresh, raw, juiced, frozen, and organic whenever possible. 4 servings a day of each. Look for free-radical-fighting, antioxidant-rich citrus, peaches, nectarines, and berries and dark green leafy and cruciferous vegetables.

The good news is, we are not victims of the aging process like our parents and grandparents believed. We do not have to surrender our health, freedom and independence once we hit “a certain age.” Instead, we can make healthy choices on a daily basis that will keep our bodies and minds working optimally so we can enjoy our lives fully.

A diet high in antioxidants, are not only good for anti-aging and inflammation, but amazing for your overall health

Antioxidant rich foods are also extremely important. Antioxidants are found in other plant based foods, essentially those which contain large amounts of vitamin C and vitamin E. Foods such as blueberries, strawberries, lemons and limes fall into this category. Of course there are many others. Green tea is also very high in antioxidants and is a great drink to consume multiple times throughout the day.

These are the five most nutritious foods you can eat. So if you are ever in the need for nutrition try these

In the course of evolution man has lost his ability to produce some powerful antioxidants such as beta carotene and vitamin C in your body. Are preserved, however, other antioxidants (Eg melatonin) That inactivate free radicals and thus form a powerful defense system against them.

1. Images of aging in our popular cultures, TV ads and magazines etc. show that aging is factor that is always unpreventable for all of us but we cannot prevent aging and everyone will convert into an old age person. Most of TV ads and magazines are about beauty and about maintenance of younger age such as ads about skin care creams, anti aging creams, anti-marks and anti wrinkle creams, perfumes, lip sticks etc. all are for younger people. We see very less commercials and ads of products which are for older adults. So aging is somewhat considered as negative and everyone want to prevent from it by looking younger for long period of time. According to Chen (2001), few people communicated that aging means change, loss, and not having the

This theory is called the Cellular Aging where “the cumulative effect of stress and toxins, [are] causing first cellular damage and eventually the death of cells” (Berger 690). Fortunately, these causes of aging can be modified through eating foods rich in antioxidants to reduce the damage created by free radicals, and practicing mental fitness to keep the brain sharp. Calorie-Restriction, the method of "limiting dietary energy intake . . . while consuming sufficient quantities of vitamins minerals and other important nutrients . . . [can also slow cellular aging]" (Berger 691). However, Berger states that such method does not work for everyone because the specifics of diet are crucial. Restricted-diet might help other creatures, but it doesn’t guarantee that it will slow down the human aging

Natural Antioxidants are abundant in fruits and vegetables such as, apples, blueberries, broccoli, cherries, cranberries, Grapes, spinach, and Spirulina a blue-green algae.

Although the body can produce some antioxidants we rely on exogenous sources, such as those in our diets to asses all the antioxidants we require (National Cancer Institute, 2016). Antioxidants are important has the help protect against free radicals which are unstable and very reactive, free radical damage can result in cell mutating into cancerous cells (Whitney, et al. 2014). Fruits People who consume a diet high in fruit have been shown to have a reduced relative risk of cancers in the digestive tract, stomach and urinary tract (La Vecchina et al, 2001). Fruits such as berries have been linked with the reduced risk of some degenerative diseases (Manganaris, et al. 2014). This is why I still would recommend that people should not exclude whole foods such as fruit from their diet simply because the contain naturally occurring sugars, as they will be missing out on potential sources of vitamins and

Every moment, second, minute, hour, and day go by you get older. You cannot stop aging no matter what you do. It is something that everything that lives does.

Antioxidants are agents which scavenge the free radicals and prevent the damage caused by them. They can greatly reduce the damage due to oxidants by neutralizing the free radicals before they can attack the cells and prevent damage to lipids, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and DNA (Fang et al., 2002).

Chocolate has two groups of antioxidants called flavonoids and polyphenols. Antioxidants fight against free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unbalanced compounds created by the natural cellular processes in the body and from environmental toxins. Antioxidants are compounds including vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that neutralize free radicals and protect the body from their damage. The substances in antioxidants counteract with the damaging normal effects of the body’s process of oxidization. Research shows that antioxidants help in preventing the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts.
