Aging

As we age, it is inevitable that our bodies will change. Becoming a senior does not mean you should expect to become sedentary. Many seniors live active lives and even busier than ever. Here are some facts about aging.

1) As we age, our eye color gets lighter.

2) As we age, we worry that we are becoming more forgetful. Memory loss and confusion are not a normal part of growing older.

3) As we age, falls become an increasingly common reason for injuries and death. Sight, hearing, muscle strength, coordination, and reflexes can decrease as we age. Your balance can be affected by diabetes and heart disease, or by some medications.

4) As we age, our skin changes. Sunlight is a major cause of the skin aging wrinkles, dryness, and age spots. Use sunscreen and wear a hat.

5) After 40, your eyesight starts to weaken and eventually you may require bifocals and glasses. Near 60, some people develop cataracts and macular degeneration. Your hearing will decline with age but women will always hear better than men.

6) Aging can make it more difficult for you to regulate your body temperature. This is why we sometimes see older people wearing sweaters in the summer months and having trouble adjusting to changes in temperature.

7) Aging is a natural process. While you may be physically slower you can still expect to be mentally alert as you age. Engage your mind by reading or other actives tha are mentally chaenging
