Ever noticed why you look older than your companion? Or your friend looks older than you? Individuals normally age at different rates. Some may look old, but their age is not really that far from yours. There are studies that can show that the rate of aging is insanely different when it comes to humans.
The tests made by physiological markers or other intrigued individuals would generally show that most biological ages do not coincide with their looks. Take a closer look when you will be having your school reunion, you will notice that some people who look younger than before, looks so stressed and old by the time your reunion happens.
Some scientists have confirmed that the radical change in the personality or appearance of individuals is caused by their day to day activities. Those people who live their lives in a happy and healthy environment would tend to feel and look younger than those who work hard and get a little amount of rest.
The researchers who test the aging used around 18 physiological markers to garner successful results. Some of these are organ function, blood pressure, genes, and metabolism. These were to assess or determine the factual components or reason on why there is an insanely different rate, and to know the biological age of the individual. Some individuals have not changed a bit, but others are just unfortunate.
A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that several researches on human aging examines or looks into older adults with health disorders and other chronic diseases. In New Zealand, a study involved 954 people who were watched or observed from the start of their birth in the year 1972 until the next year. The researchers also looked at biological markers which comprise cardiorespiratory fitness, immune functions, telomere length, and kidney and liver health.
People who have older biological ages are found to have produced worse effects or results of the tests, especially those with ages over 60. It can be seen in the results that older people are consistently rated to possess or show appearance which are older than when they were in their 30s.
Age can only be a number to some people because their age may not coincide with the way they look or see things. Since personalities and appearances can easily be altered by so many factors, it is only a matter of time when you see the change in your life. Change is the only constant here on earth. Deal with it and discover how to use it to your advantage.
You will also see in the photos the different results or rates of aging. Scan through your photo album or just simply open Facebook albums and see the difference. Compare those photos which were taken 10 years after and the photos you now have. Although there are rapid changes in the aging of every individual, it is still important that once you have a great attitude, this must not follow the rapid change. There is nothing you can do when you age, just focus on the more important things.
