SEC-S16 / W6 | "The Science of Aging👩"
I am really thankful to the team of Healthy Steem for organising another Engagement Challenge for the week 6 in session 16. I am ready to participate in the challenge.
| 👩 What is the medical process behind aging and from which age it actually starts? |
|---|
There are nine major causes of ageing.
There are actually genes called longevity gene. Epigenome decides whether genes are switched on or off where and when they are needed.
The loss of information is the process of ageing in case of human biology. There are two types of information in body. There is the genetic information which is digital.
There are other parts of information in our body which decides what gene to switch on or off in what cell at what time in response to what we eat. And it turns out to 80% of our future longevity and health is controlled by the second part.
Several lifestyle factors have been identified, such as diet, obesity, physical activity, alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, psychological stress, environmental pollutants, and working on night shifts might modify epigenetic patterns.
We start to age at 25 at cellular level.
| 👩 Are you afraid of becoming older and if yes then what are the challanges of aging that are making you afraid from getting older? |
|---|
The blood pressure control
| PRESSURE CATEGORY | SYSTOLIC MM HG (UPPER) | and/or | DIASTOLIC MM HG (LOWER) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elevated Blood Pressure | 120-129 | and | 80 |
| High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage1 | 130-139 | or | 80-89 |
The blood glucose control
| Fasting blood od Glucose | What it means |
|---|---|
| Lower than 100 img/dl | Normal |
| 100 to 125 mg/dl | At increased risk of developing diabetes |
| 126 mg/dl or higher | At increased risk of heat diseases or stroke |
The cholesterol control
UNDERSTAND CHOLESTEROL
It is found in foods from animal sources only.
HDL GOOD
High-density lipoprotein is known as "good" cholesterol
LDL = BAD
Low-density lipoprotein is known as "bad" cholesterol.
| 👩 Write any three nutritional items that can preventing aging?• |
|---|
CREATE A HEALTHY EATING PATTERN
Watch calories and eat smaller portions.
ENJOY
fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, legumes, nuts, plant-based proteins, lean animal proteins, fish and seafood, skinless poultry.
LIMIT
alcohol, sweetened drinks, red and processed meats, sodium, refined carbohydrates like added sugars and processed grain foods,highly processed foods, full-fat dairy products, tropical oils like coconut and palm oil.
AVOID
trans fat and partially hydrogenated oils.
| 👩 Write any three exercises that can makes you looking young even in older age? |
|---|
HOW TO BE MORE ACTIVE
150 MINUTES of moderate aerobic activity (water aerobics, social dancing, gardening)
OR
75 MINUTES of vigorous aerobic activity (Running, swimming laps, jumping ropes)
ADD INTENSITY
Increase time, distance, amount or effort for mons benefit.
SIT LESS
Get up and move throughout the day
American Heart Association
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
MAKE A HABIT
Do something active every day at about the same time, it becomes a regular habit.
I would like to invite three fellow Steemians also to perticipate @eveetim @paholags @drbehram
Thank you for finding time to read my post -@impersonal
Yes friend you did so well and I really appreciate your hard work because I enjoyed going through your article and I love as you enlightened and give me enough knowledge about old age.
Thank you so much for sharing such quality articles you can also engage on my entry through the link below https://steemit.com/hive-168205/@starrchris/sec-s16-w6-or-the-science-of-aging
Thank you for visiting my post
Greetings,
Aging is a natural and inescapable phenomenon that happens to people who are advanced in age.
This is my first time knowing the fact that longevity genes exists. This gene needs to activated in my system as soon as possible. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc are the recommended foods sources needed to slow down aging. Good luck on your post.
Thank you for visiting my post and supportive comment.
As humans, we really need to drink enough water because it helps the body system to function well act very accurate. People hardly drink due to it's scarcity in their area and this is very bad, most of them end up drinking dirty water which is more worst.
I wish you good luck in this engagement challenge
Thank you for visiting my post and good wishes.
Thank you for sharing your insightful participation in the Engagement Challenge organized by Healthy Steem. Your willingness to contribute to the challenge and share valuable information is truly commendable.
Your explanation of the medical process behind aging, focusing on the role of genes and epigenetics, provides a deeper understanding of how our bodies age at the cellular level. It's fascinating to learn about the impact of lifestyle factors on epigenetic patterns and how they influence our future longevity and health.
Your proactive approach to addressing aging challenges through blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol control demonstrates a commitment to maintaining overall health and well-being. By highlighting the importance of monitoring these factors and making lifestyle adjustments, you empower others to take charge of their health as they age.
Additionally, your recommendations for nutritional items to prevent aging emphasize the importance of adopting a healthy eating pattern, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains while limiting alcohol, processed foods, and unhealthy fats. This balanced approach to nutrition is essential for promoting longevity and vitality.
Furthermore, your suggestions for exercises that can help maintain a youthful appearance, such as aerobic activities, increasing intensity, and reducing sedentary behavior, offer practical ways to stay active and healthy as we age. Incorporating regular physical activity into daily routines is key to promoting physical and mental well-being.
Thank you for visiting my post. You have portrayed my post in a more beautiful way.
My observation is that understanding the various factors contributing to aging can empower us to make informed lifestyle choices. For instance, as a health enthusiast, I've learned that factors like diet, exercise, and stress management play significant roles in the aging process.
It's fascinating to learn about the role of information loss in aging. As someone interested in biology, I've come across similar concepts in my studies. For instance, the idea that our genes and epigenetic factors influence how our bodies age underscores the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
As far as I know, aging is a natural process that begins at the cellular level much earlier than we might realize. Reflecting on my own experiences, I've noticed that as I've gotten older, I've become more conscious of the importance of taking care of my health and well-being to support healthy aging.
Good luck
Thank you for visiting my post and understanding my post correctly.
¡Saluds amigo!😊
El envejecimiento forma parte del ciclo de la vida y, aunque hacemos ciertas cosas para que tarde en llegar, de igual manera sucede y, usted detalló muy bien los motivos y, coincido en todos porque, he visto cada uno de ellos en algunas personas.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
Thank you for visiting my post and supportive comment.
Your post into the medical process behind aging are enlightening shedding light on both genetic and lifestyle factors that contribute to the aging process. Its fascinating to learn about the role of epigenetics in controlling our longevity and health. Your readiness to tackle aging head-on by addressing lifestyle factors such as blood pressure blood glucose and cholesterol control is commendable. Your practical tips for maintaining a healthy eating pattern are valuable and actionable. Keep up the excellent work
Thank you for visiting my post.
I can understand that you don't want to be get older before age and this is due to a lot of challenges and concerns that we all should keep in our mind and these are that increase in the blood sugar level blood pressure as well as bad cholesterol in body with the passage of time as we get older due to slowing down off overall metabolism.
As well as when I talk about your nutritional choices then that's great that all process the foods should be avoided and all natural foods including fruits and vegetables should be added in our life for causing delayed aging process
Thank you for visiting my post and understanding the post so well.
Pleasure 😊
Stay engage with others too
Hi friend you've said that there are actually genes called longevity gene. Epigenome decides whether genes are switched on or off where and when they are needed.
The loss of information is the process of ageing in case of human biology.
here are two types of information in body. There is the genetic information which is digital.Aging is inevitable and it is natural,aging cannot be prevented, but a healthy diet can delay aging.
Good luck
Thank you for visiting my post.
Greetings friend, it is good to know through your post, of those nine causes of aging, you have enough information which you share with us steemits, you are valued this information or tips that helps to feed lis knowledge on this subject, as for example when you talk about the epigenome, which decides if the genes are activated or deactivated where and when they are needed, I find it interesting and more when we get closer to the age of old age, something I noticed in your post that did not give answer to if I was afraid of aging, but gave recommendations, be prepared to accept this process does not make us us useless, on the contrary makes us stronger and stronger and at the same time with our example speaks for us, thank you for the tips I got through your post, blessings.
