Aging brings change with it. That part seems inevitable, but is it really? Revive Medical Center has treatments available that are able to reduce the impacts of aging on your body and your health. Which of these signs are you seeing in yourself as you age?
Weaker Bones and Joints
As much as you might want them to, your bones and your joints don’t stay the same over time. Your bones in particular shrink, which makes them weaker and more susceptible to injury. This can impact your overall health, especially if you fall and become injured.
Digestive Issues
So much affects digestive issues, including aging. As you grow older, your body responds to stress differently and may need different nutrients in order to keep your gut biome healthy. Other changes to your health can also contribute to digestive issues, and many of those are exacerbated by aging.
Cardiovascular Changes
Your heart and the blood vessels throughout your body change as you age, which makes your heart work harder to circulate blood. Those changes are subtle at first, but then become bigger. Higher blood pressure, higher cholesterol levels, and other cardiovascular issues all add up and contribute to bigger health concerns later.
Cognition and Memory Issues
The brain is a unique organ in the body. It needs healthy fats, physical activity, and mental challenges to stay active and engaged. Health issues in the rest of your body can also affect how well your brain works. Brain fog is also common with hormonal changes related to menopause and perimenopause.
Hearing and Vision Changes
Age-related hearing and vision changes are another issue you might be noticing. Light sensitivity and difficulty seeing at night are two very common problems that come with aging. Exposure to loud noises for years can cause you to have more and more trouble hearing as you continue to age.
Thinner and More Fragile Skin
Another age-related issue involves the largest organ of your body: Your skin. With age, your skin thins out and the layer of fat underneath starts to thin as well. Your skin also becomes less elastic, which makes it more fragile and susceptible to bruising, scrapes, and other potential problems.
