Health: Aging of Our Body Parts

Good to know about the sign of aging ... and we should really take care of our body and not do more harm to it ...
WE all accept that getting older is inevitable, and now leading clinicians have revealed the exact age when different body parts start to decline, most alarming being the brain and lungs.

French doctors have found that the quality of men's' sperm starts to deteriorate by 35, so that by the time a man is 45 a third of pregnancies end in miscarriage.

Here, with the help of leading clinicians, Angela Epstein tells the Daily Mail the ages when different parts of the body start to lose their battle with time.

BRAIN - Starts ageing at 20As we get older, the number of nerve cells - or neurons - in the brain decrease. We start with around 100 billion, but in our 20s this number starts to decline. By 40, we could be losing up to 10,000 per day, affecting memory, co-ordination and brain function.

GUT - Starts ageing at 55A healthy gut has a good balance between harmful and 'friendly' bacteria. But levels of friendly bacteria in the gut drop significantly after 55, particularly in the large intestine, says Tom MacDonald, professor of immunology at Barts And The London medical school. As a result, we suffer from poor digestion and an increased risk of gut disease. Constipation is more likely as we age, as the flow of digestive juices from the stomach, liver, pancreas and small intestine slows down.

BREASTS - Start ageing at 35BY their mid-30s, women's breasts start losing tissue and fat, reducing size and fullness. Sagging starts properly at 40 and the areola (the area surrounding the nipple) can shrink considerably.

BLADDER - Starts ageing at 65Loss of bladder control is more likely when you hit 65. Women are more vulnerable to bladder problems as, after the menopause, declining oestrogen levels make tissues in the urethra - the tube through which urine passes - thinner and weaker, reducing bladder support. Bladder capacity in an older adult generally is about half that of a younger person - about two cups in a 30-year-old and one cup in a 70-year-old.

LUNGS - Start ageing at 20Lung capacity slowly starts to decrease from the age of 20. By the age of 40, some people are already experiencing breathlessness. This is partly because the muscles and the rib cage which control breathing stiffen up.

VOICE - Starts ageing at 65Our voices become quieter and hoarser with age. The soft tissues in the voice box (larynx) weaken, affecting the pitch, loudness and quality of the voice.A woman's voice may become huskier and lower in pitch, whereas a man's might become thinner and higher.

EYES - Start ageing at 40Glasses are the norm for many over-40s as failing eyesight kicks in - usually long-sightedness, affecting our ability to see objects up close.

HEART - Starts ageing at 40The heart pumps blood less effectively around the body as we get older. This is because blood vessels become less elastic, while arteries can harden or become blocked because of fatty deposits forming on the coronary arteries - caused by eating too much saturated fat. The blood supply to the heart is then reduced, resulting in painful angina. Men over 45 and women over 55 are at greater risk of a heart attack.

LIVER - Starts ageing at 70This is the only organ in the body which seems to defy the aging process.

KIDNEYS - Starts ageing at 50With kidneys, the number of filtering units (nephrons) that remove waste from the bloodstream starts to reduce in middle age.

PROSTATE - Starts ageing at 50The prostate often becomes enlarged with age, leading to problems such as increased need to urinate, says Professor Roger Kirby, director of the Prostate Centre in London. This is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia and affects half of men over 50, but rarely those under 40. It occurs when the prostate absorbs large amounts of the male sex hormone testosterone, which increases the growth of cells in the prostate. A normal prostate is the size of a walnut, but the condition can increase this to the size of a tangerine.

BONES - Start ageing at 35'Throughout our life, old bone is broken down by cells called osteoclasts and replaced by bone-building cells called osteoblasts - a process called bone turnover,' explains Robert Moots, professor of rheumatology at Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool. Children's bone growth is rapid - the skeleton takes just two years to renew itself completely. In adults, this can take ten years. Until our mid-20s, bone density is still increasing. But at 35 bone loss begins as part of the natural ageing process.

TEETH - Start ageing at 40As we age, we produce less saliva, which washes away bacteria, so teeth and gums are more vulnerable to decay. Receding gums - when tissue is lost from gums around the teeth - is common in adults over 40.

MUSCLES - Start ageing at 30Muscle is constantly being built up and broken down, a process which is well balanced in young adults. However, by the time we're 30, breakdown is greater than buildup, explains Professor Robert Moots. Once adults reach 40, they start to lose between 0.5 and 2 per cent of their muscle each year. Regular exercise can help prevent this.

HEARING - Starts ageing mid-50sMore than half of people over 60 lose hearing because of their age, according to the Royal National Institute for the Deaf.

SKIN - Starts ageing mid-20sThe skin starts to age naturally in your mid-20s.

TASTE AND SMELL - Start ageing at 60We start out in life with about 10,000 taste buds scattered on the tongue. This number can halve later in life. After we turn 60, taste and smell gradually decline, partly as a result of the normal ageing process.

FERTILITY - Starts ageing at 35Female fertility begins to decline after 35, as the number and quality of eggs in the ovaries start to fall. The lining of the womb may become thinner, making it less likely for a fertilised egg to take, and also creating an environment hostile to sperm.

HAIR - Starts ageing at 30Male hair loss usually begins in the 30s. Hair is made in tiny pouches just under the skin's surface, known as follices. A hair normally grows from each follicle for about three years, is then shed, and a new hair grows.Most people will have some grey hair by the age of35. When we are young, our hair is coloured by the pigments produced by cells in the hair follicle known as melanocytes.

Lose Weight Fast - The 3 Most Important Tips to Success

There are three reasons why most people cant lose weight and this applies to about 90% of people who embark on a diet to lose weight fast.

The three tips below are applicable to any diet, will help you lose weight fast and allow you to enjoy ANY Food you like.

There easy to do and will make your dieting a pleasure rather than a chore.

1. Be Realistic!
Healthy dieting takes time and this applies to ANY diet so don't crash diet not only is it unhealthy it will make you ill and even more importantly when you stop the pounds will pile back on even quicker.

Take it in simple steps but use this diet to get the fastest results when you start and get you motivated - The cabbage soup diet.

It lasts only 1 week and is the fastest way to get started. It should only be used for 1 week then you can switch to any healthy diet you wish that is balanced i.e. you get all food groups

2. Starving yourself is not the answer!
Your body will only lose a few pounds a week and starving yourself will not make it any quicker or depriving yourself of any of the major food groups.

You need to eat 5 meals a day 3 main and two snacks and make sure you never skip breakfast to avoid hunger pangs later in the day.

While you need to eat 5 meals a day you need to keep in mind portion control, how do you do that?

Well lets consider say rice tuna and vegetables as a meal the size of each portion should be the size of your fist. This is a simple way to achieve portion control

So try the above and make sure you eat 3 meals per day and snack on as much fruit or vegetables as you wish.

3. One Day a week do the following
Follow your diet for six days a week and then on one day forget about your diet and eat whatever you want.

There is logic here and it's the psychological impact on your mind.

If you overeat once a week you remove the one reason many diets fail, which is when choice is removed from you want it even more and don't stick with your chosen diet.

By allowing yourself one day off from your diet you can say:

I will stick with the diet and I can still have the foods I really want i.e I have a choice.

So won't this defeat the object of dieting No it wont, and there are 3 reasons why:

1. It makes NO Long term difference
You will have been eating sensibly on the other six days and one day won't make much difference.

2. It Teaches you better eating habits
By overeating and having treats you will perhaps realize that that your body has adjusted to better eating habits.

This day may not be the pleasure you thought i.e. when every day was a free day, or you don't actually want to eat as much as you thought before you came to your free day.

3. It gives a choice
By giving us choices we are more likely to stay with the diet we have chosen.

Remember: To gain weight you have to eat a lot

Gaining weight is a long term process and you won't undo the good you have done on the other six days by having a free day. What you will do is give yourself the choice and make sticking with a diet less onerous.

No one wants to be told they can't have the foods they really enjoy, the free day gives you choice (the major reason most diets fail) and helps you stick with sensible eating longer term.

So on your free day if you fancy a Big Mac or a pizza go ahead and don't feel guilty dieting should be a pleasure and not a chore so don't feel guilty.

If you follow the three tips above you will be able to lose weight in a healthy fashion and reach your ultimate weight while enjoying any food you want. Try it and see!

Successful Dieting - How To Make It Enjoyable And Lose Weight Fast!

If the idea of dieting fills you with gloom or you don't feel you have the willpower necessary to stick with your diet, and then this article is for you.

Let's look at how to lose weight fast and make it enjoyable at the same time with the following tips:

1. Don't deprive yourself of ANY your favorite foods
Most people fail to stick with their diet because it in many cases deprives them of their favourite foods.

As dieting should be fun and eating is one of the pleasures of life do the following:

For six days follow your diet and on the seventh say eat what you want and forget your diet for this day only.

Gaining weight is a long term process and one day a week will slow your diet down by less than 10% at most and will let you enjoy all foods.

If you are deprived of your favourite foods chances are you wont stick with your diet, so don't fall into this trap

2. Obesity is a recent word
Obesity is caused by two factors that have increased as society has become more developed:

1. We don't exercise as much as we did but the main reason is:

2. We don't eat "naturally from the earth" chemicals, preservatives and processing make many foods unhealthy.

Go organic if you can and also keep in mind no SINGLE food group makes you put on weight.

For example, fat is good for you we all need it but many people try and avoid it but unsaturated fat keeps you healthy.

Same with carbs. They are the bodies fuel and you need them just eat unprocessed i.e. brown rice, jacket potatoes.

It is a question of being sensible in your choices in each group but don't cut out Any group (i.e the Atkins diet) make sure you have some of everything.

3. Eat 5 times a day
Many people think they can starve themselves and lose several stone quickly. They can't.

Putting weight on is a long term process and so is taking it up. Losing weight fast means no more than 3 - 5 pounds a week.

Try and knock it off any quicker and it will come back on or make you ill. Crash diets simply don't work and never have.

4. Learn Portion control!
You can eat five times a day but make sure you learn about portion control. Portion control is essential to weight loss nut most people don't understand it.

As a general rule a portion is the size of your fist. Want a portion of rice? Clench your fist and that's the amount, the same goes with meat and fish.

On vegetables or fruit don't worry too much about the size eat as much as you want.

5. Eat as late as you want
You put on weight when you are sleeping is one of the dumbest myths in dieting. You don't and its absolute nonsense so to avoid hunger pangs eat 5 meals a day at the times that you want.

6. We are all busy so.
Don't fall into the trap of grabbing some quick food like a microwave meal or a pizza when you are rushed off your feet.

Keep food that can be made up quickly that's nutritious For example tinned fish is great for this have tins of Mackerel, Sardines, tuna and salmon on hand and brown rice in storage and vegetables and you can have quick tasty nutritious meal in seconds.

People pay billions of dollars for different diets etc but dieting and losing weight is really common sense.

What is the best diet?

There is no such thing as a best diet so long as it is balanced and contains all the food groups and you are avoiding processed foods, it's very much a question of what foods you like.

If you hate red meat then you should do a fish diet. If you cant stand brown rice substitute jacket potatoes instead.

It's not the foods that are important its just a question of eating healthy unprocessed foods in sensible portions regularly.

If you follow the above advice you will not only lose weight quickly, stay with your diet, never be hungry, and enjoy all your favourites as well.

Now doesn't that sound good?
