The Natural Procedure Of Aging

The elderly population is growing rapidly and now makes up greater than thirteen percent of the United States population. (APA, 1994). With such a record growth, there are different aspects to aging that are still being analyzed. Many may think of reaching late life as a rite of passage, but many face this time with a different view. Through the movie "UP', we are granted an opportunity into view the struggles of an elderly widowed man by the name of Mr. Fredrickson and the challenges in which he faces in his later life. The movie, takes one on a journey through his sorrows and his triumphs until he realizes what the true meaning of happiness is.

There are so many wrinkle creams in the market but make sure as you choose, there is an inclusive ingredient known as tea extracts that will give your skin a radiant look. Apply every day before you leave the house and clean it up before you sleep. This will help your skin to relax and be able to shad of the old skin leaving you with a wrinkle free and radiant

April 6th 1944 in her home in Jacksonville, IL Mary Lee Elizabeth Smith was born. This is my grandma. At 71 years old she is the youngest of 8 children. She herself had 6 kids before having a tubal ligation at the age of 27, which resulted in two adhesions that had wrapped around her colon. Other surgical procedures include getting her tonsils out at sixteen years old, the removal of a benign “knot” from her neck, a cyst removal from under her arm and bunion removal. She currently lives with congestive heart failure, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis.

If there’s one thing I learned after becoming a beauty editor that I wish I knew earlier, it’s that starting an anti-aging routine in your early twenties—aka before wrinkles, fine lines, etc. have cropped up on your complexion—is golden advice. Before, I used to skip right over anti-aging skin care products that promised a reduction in wrinkles over time or plumper, bouncier skin. Retinol? Why on earth would I need retinol, the ultimate anti-aging ingredient, I’d often think to myself. Well let me tell you, those days are long gone. You might not see any signs of aging, but you’re still aging. My new skin care motto is all about preventing problems before they arise, so to my old self I bid good riddance. Bring on all of the wrinkle-fighting, fine line-diminishing, and skin-plumping formulas out

with aging can be exasperating and chronic illnesses even so much more. Taking care of one’s

In the study of aging, our understanding of issues is always colored by the training and perspectives of the researchers whose work we read. The purpose of this paper is to examine the interdisciplinary nature of gerontology. The disciplinary perspectives to be considered are psychological, sociological, and economic.

The respect and appreciation for the diverse community of Earth are essential in the quest for success. Each person is unique and can use this to his/her advantage as a piece of a bigger puzzle. The world would not function without the dedication of volunteers and this is why I have always been inspired to enrich the lives of all ages.

Aging is described as a sequential, irreversible, progressive, and non-pathological process of maturation in an organism and that translates to a gradual decline in the ability to perform activities optimally. Aging is an individual process that can be a period of stress for individuals especially following their retirement (Hiller & Barrow, 2015). The current study sought to understand the process and experience of aging from the perspective of elderly individuals. In discussing matters of aging and retirement, many assume that women are always eager to retire, and adjust well, as compared to their male counterparts (Bauger & Bongaardt, 2016). Many people assume that since women are generally made as homemakers, they are willing and happy to retire while men, whose nature is to be the main source of family income, find it hard to be out of work (Moody & Sasser, 2014). Indeed, there exists very little literature that sheds some light on this area, particularly on the attitudes of each gender towards retirement and process of aging. Given the significance of retirement to this life stage, the study sought to understand the emotions and views of individuals regarding their retirement through the lenses of (1) Physical health and wellbeing, (2) Friends, Family, and Community, (3) Work and leisure, (4) Finances and lifestyles, and (5) Living

As the clock ticks the years roll by, seconds turn to minutes, minutes to hours and before you know it days turn to years. Everyday lived is a new experience, perhaps the older you are the more you have experienced. Life is an ever changing aspect each individual encounters. As individuals grow older things start to diminish or things they once were able to do turn into things they are no longer able to do. In order to become a successful therapist it is important to understand all aspects of the aging process and how each stage effects each individual differently. To further my knowledge of the aging process, I decided to focus on the elder cohort. I interviewed a unique individual with a very inspiring story of how the ever-changing lifecycle has affected her and her everyday life now.

Aging is the most complex and fascinating process. The whole human race, goes through the process of Aging. There are many sides of aging, such as physiological, emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal which in turn affects the social wellbeing of an individual.

Physiological changes occur with aging in all organ systems. The cardiac output decreases, blood pressure increases and arteriosclerosis develops. The lungs show impaired gas exchange, a decrease in vital capacity and slower expiratory flow rates. The creatinine clearance decreases with age although the serum creatinine level remains relatively constant due to a proportionate age-related decrease in creatinine production. Functional'changes, largely related to altered motility patterns, occur in the gastrointestinal system with senescence, and atrophic gastritis and altered hepatic drug metabolism are common in the elderly.

Aging is a phenomenon afflicting the human as a result of growth. According to the website Dictionary (1), aging is " a period of human life, measured by years from birth, usually marked by a certain stage or degree of mental or physical development and involving legal responsibility and capacity”. There are many changes occur on the human body during the aging period. In the beginning of this period the human will have some changes in the situation and the shape of his body, after that he will get some diseases that affect in the health status. Finally, he will forget, forgetfulness because some changes in the memory.

No matter how many theories of aging psychologists, biologists, or doctors create and test, one foolproof method of reducing aging is exercise. Being active whether you put forth ten minutes or two hours can help the bodies organs and cells fight off the inevitable. A recent study performed by Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky provided new information about the correlation between exercise and longevity to support the majority of biological theories of aging.

The aging population is growing rapidly around the world. Although our life expectancy is longer, diagnosis of age-related disorders, such as dementia, and decline in various functions are not becoming less, if not more. It would be particularly informative to focus more research on the aging population in order to minimize the influence of functional decline in late adulthood. Therefore, research supporting a better understanding of the biological basis of the aging brain as well as protective factors against age-related disorders and declines, is critical for the development of prevention and treatment programs to address these aging issues.

The process of aging is one many dread and try to avoid. Arguably even worse than aging are age related diseases that see their onset as people get older. Aging and metabolism have been found to be closely connected. As individuals age, they usually gain weight because metabolism slows and their body composition changes. According to a paper published in Nature, after age 45 the average person loses about 10% of their muscle mass each decade and that mass is generally just turned into fat because their muscles cannot metabolize and use the added calories being consumed. As a result, consuming fewer calories has been proven to consistently extend lifespans and delay age-related diseases in evolutionary diverse organisms, meaning specialized multi-cellular organisms such as humans and animals.
