Humans go through 2 rapid bursts of aging, study finds 

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😋

hahahaha

Were they also on your lawn?

Thank you. To some extent this managed to console me

Bravo! 🎉 ☺️ 🎉

& Brava!

@@danthefan5378 I see you are aware of the difference. Thank you 😊

lol okay miss moneybags

Yes 🙌

Yeah, same. It's true

I've noticed that too. That's why I finally joined my local gym to get some strength training to slow down any further decline.

For me it was at about 66. After a day of work I would be just tired, and that would build on succeeding days. Before then, I could work many days in a row and still had plenty of energy. Endurance wains in the upper 60s, at least for me.

fight back against the rising tide. It's a struggle but I'm not giving in or accepting it as fate.

@@byDsign , I decided to bring the Gym to my home. I wasn't able to go when injured, which seems to be pretty often. so now I can work out multiple times a day, when I feel up to it. no worries about finding an open machine either. Broke my foot the first week I had it. worked out the same day. success.

You do realize that not everyone can do that, right?

Your skin will still droop, muscles will get softer even if working out and collagen dissolves, cellular metablism slows down. My husband amd I both work out and walk 4-5 miles per day, eat well. It happens anyway but just body shape can be maintained tai ed a bit easier.

@@firefeethok_tui2355 Did you significantly increase the amount of protein you eat daily? Increased protein intake can't stop sarcopenia but it can mitigate it.

What are you using, steroids or test cause you eventually lose strength, endurance and muscle. Time is undefeated.

CAREFUL with all the protein as your Creatine level will skyrocket, thereby creating an even worse situation. Kidneys at 60 and beyond aren’t the same as kidneys at 30 or 40. All the hardcore Carnivores will find this out, many the hard way. A lot of what happens to us in aging is already cast from our DNA, sadly. We can do little things, but to think that you can just STOP Mother Nature is foolish. Btw, I’m 60, small build under BMI, a LIFELONG exerciser (run, bike, walk, calisthenics, gym, HIT-sprints etc), Army Veteran, Retired LEO who has eaten well my entire life (salads, water, fish, chicken, lean red meat). Each of US is different and complex, so try to find out the things that work for you and do your best to stick to them.

Definitely. And I turned 60 right around that time. Double whammy!

Boosted?

All by design, lib

Thanks the democrats

​@@aaronperez3693what? Trump was president in 2020.

🤣

Hahahahaha great quote Indy

“Hey lady you call him Doc-Tah Jones!”

Definitely not everyone!

Lol just wait. ​@malinia.20

I think mid 40s there is a big shift where you start to look middle aged, while at 40, you still have your natural hair color.

Best advice🎉

@@sadesade9505 100% , I am 53, never smoked or drank. ALso a fitness nut. I still feel like 20 with a few grey hairs. A 27 yo woman lost bet with me that she could outsprint me :lol:

and sugar

Cigarettes* Smoking is a huge aging tool. Make anyone look like ish

And social media

😂😂😂

Wait till you fall. No mindset gonna make you 20. Need to modify activities with your age. Diet is everything.

@@shahjehanhowever if you exercise especially do strength and balance it decreases the chances of falling and if you do fall it won’t do much damage.

@@tracymorgan5386 It will do less damage. I’ve known many 60+ aged people who have abused their bodies with excessive workouts and now have joint and tendon issues. Age is not just a number. People have to accept they are old and modify. Falling on a sidewalk or down some stairs after 60+ can be a serious injury. Let’s be aware of reality.

@@shahjehanhe is in his 60s so knows what he is speaking about

Definitely same. Its was awful and still is. My HRT -progesterone- is helping

I think menopause, and when it occurs, has significant impact on women. I was very late, 55, going through menopause and subsequently, I was later at feeling the age related impacts (65 instead of 60).

Maybe. This doctor is saying others have assigned everything to menopause (peri menopause is part of that) when it isn’t as it happens to men too.

@@M_SC Obviously menopause isn't a factor in the aging of me (sigh) but they have hormonal changes as well, usually occurring earlier than women's menopause and more gradual. For women though, the changes that come with menopause are quite pronounced.

This study is at best the beginnings of a hypothesis not complete scientific research.

@@sound_1913 Yes agreed 👍🏻

Well said!

The TV equivalent of click-bait. Junk, low-number, observational guff.

I disagree. You clearly have not read the entire study which is very detailed. Cynicism like yours is one of the worst signs of losing in the aging process. Sad for you.

Listen to his advice. It's not inevitable. There are things you can do! Chin up!! Many of us who have had healthy lifestyles don't have the chronic problems associated with aging even though we're Boomers. Happy Birthday! Enjoy your 44th rotation around the sun with positive changes!! ❤

I’ll be turning 42 in 2 months 🥴

Couldn’t agree more! Imo there’s a little wiggle room in your 20s BUT pass 30 we need to take our health (physically, mentally, and emotionally) seriously if we want to be healthy in our 60s and beyond

Agreed. My friends who didn’t take care of themselves when they were younger are now hating life in their late 50s.

I’m turning 60 in 2 months 😮

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sick of people saying "but 60 isn't old" and "age is in your mind" NO. I can tell a difference since I turned 60.

People knowing their own bodies and scientific evidence of human development is different

Me too, I'll be 61 in December, still lifting weights, started at 17, bicycling and stretching. Despite melanoma and carpal tunnel syndrome I'll continue the same. I'd rather die on my mountain bike at 70 then die in the hospital at 85 hooked up to a dozen machines. Good luck to you my brother Ca

😂

Hope you stay healthy ! But speaking as a lifetime equestrian , we all need to ban the expression " healthy as a horse " - they're actually very fragile , physically & emotionally " ! 😂

@@cynthiajohnston424 Yes, I understand. That was part of the joke. I've spent time around thoroughbreds and know what you are speaking of. I've also seen how they are treated as disposable by the racing industry. I didn't mean any slight toward horses.

@@mcloutier5 That's ok ! 😂 Thinking of my lifetime of vet bills - I laugh at how many of my equine vets' kids that I've paid for their grad. school . Also , a friend says - simply owning a horse is like having a kid at Harvard who never graduates ! Healthy as a horse ... 🤣 Gotta add that our farm had an unregistered true shetland pony , extremely healthy & snarky !! , who we could document as being at least 40 when he quietly died in his sleep . Go figure ... 😂

Doctors in the UK get only ONE hour of OPTIONAL education on menopause. As a middle-aged woman, it's like doctors don't even realise menopause or perimenopause is a real condition. When a woman presents with symptoms in her forties, she is NOT too young for peri/menopause. That's when the hormones start fluctuating and that's why she can feel ill, or even like she's dying. Palpitations accompanied by nausea and feeling faint are no joke. Hot flashes are the least of your worries, although they are debilitating for some. Hot flushes seem to be the "acceptable" face of menopause that jokes are made about, but other symptoms are far worse. Oestrogen receptor cells are in EVERY part of the female body, so that's why lack of oestrogen adversely affects the mucous membranes in the nose, throat, and the eyes with dryness. It's not just gynaecological parts of the female body which suffer without normal levels of oestrogen and progesterone and even testosterone. I really recommend watching the HUNDREDS of videos by expert gynaecologist Menopause Taylor on RU-vid. She provides a FULL education on the whole subject, to manage menopause to suit the individual woman. I learned the difference between systemic HRT, and localised HRT, between cyclical HRT, and continuous HRT. About different administering routes, pill, transdermal, bio-identicals, compounded hormones, and to avoid the pill form as that goes through the liver, and that's a negative. She likens oestrogen deficiency in peri/menopause to being thyroid deficient or insulin deficient, in that the body struggles in the same way without the correct hormones in the correct ratios. She mentions the Womens' Health Initiative study of the early 2000s which has been widely discredited for misinformation. That study said HRT increased the risk of breast cancer, but the study was ONLY done on women over the age of sixty. HRT is beneficial for women under sixty. Taking HRT under aged sixty, the benefits outweigh the risks of breast cancer. HRT has protective benefits against the three diseases of menopause, dementia, heart attack, and bone loss. Many providers have guidelines to only prescribe HRT primarily for symptoms, not for prevention of dementia, heart attack, and bone loss. But even if a woman does not get symptoms in peri/menopause, she should still, if she wants to, try to take HRT in some form, to cover her against dementia, heart attack, and bone loss. Before the WHI study, doctors KNEW to prescribe PRIMARILY for the three diseases, with symptoms being a SECONDARY reason to prescribe HRT. Nowadays, doctors have reversed that decision, and that decision is wrong and needs to be reversed to the pre WHI study. Do doctors and the pharmaceutical industry want women to get dementia, bone loss, heart attack, so they can feed women three different sets of drugs, instead of taking a cheap therapy called HRT. I think so. All these diseases are more likely without oestrogen. Oestrogen does increase the risk of breast cancer, but it's a low increase. Women have to take into account absolute risk versus their own individual risk, family history, lifestyle. Women can mitigate risk by getting mammograms at regular intervals. She also advises about alternatives to HRT, if a woman, can't or won't take HRT. HRT is not just about trying to look younger, it's about ensuring that the female body can function NORMALLY as much as possible, as the body cannot function normally without hormones. People will say, women have managed menopause for ever without HRT, but they fail to realise, that biologically speaking, women in olden days, were supposed to be DEAD, when your eggs have run out. Humans didn't live to see menopause, so it wasn't an issue. Now we can spend up to a third of our lives in menopause, because of advancements in nutrition, drugs etc, so we need hormones. You wouldn't tell a diabetic person to go without insulin, nor a thyroid deficiency person to forego thyroid hormone, so don't downplay a woman's need to replace her hormones so she can live as NORMAL a life as possible.

Yes, same here. I’m two years from 60!

Isn't menopause a function of aging?

@@mjjveritas2preach!

@@mjjveritas2 EXCELLENT ADVICE!! I am 70 and have been on HRT since I was 47. SUCH a life changer and I am so much healthier than my younger sisters who are scared of HRT from studies that were grossly misinterpreted. As a scientist, I could easily see this was wrong and got on estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, so my lipids, bones, muscles and brain are all in great shape. I am so blessed! I exercise daily and eat real food.

Do some pranayama, there are just breathing exercisess in various rhythmic patterns, with less stress on joints and muscles, but is actively energizing the cells at the cellular level

It’s called getting old. We all do it. Just some people don’t want to accept it 😂

I am exactly your age and have had the same experience. I keep running, which I've done for years because it feels so right, but I've suddenly been much more fatigued. I keep hearing about weights and would like to add a bit of that too.

@@notaclue822 Unfortunately we can’t beat time. I stopped running when my buddy got a hip replacement at 64. I’m in my 50s. No thanks. I’d rather go for walks and leave running for kids.

@@shahjehan Not accepting it is perfectly fine.

I would not advocate statins!

I agree with everything you’ve said, except the statins. And I was a nurse for 48 years.

@@hazelem1266the whole thing is wrong.

Statins are an unproven poison. Rite Aid pharmacists will now try to push them on you at the drive thru. Shameless.

Statins horrible for you. Typical doctor. Runs your health with a prescription pad.

ditch all drinking

@@alb12345672 yes! that too

Ahhhhhhh 😬 Getting old is not for the weak

Perhaps he only mentioned the hard data

Drinking once or twice a week is FAR WORSE than eating a fast food meal once or twice a week… just be smart about your ff choices.

Nooooooooo 😢😬

Yup I began getting injured in the gym to the point where I had to stop and regroup

Perimenopause

Most honest answer on here ❤

What were your findings or conclusions? Assuming you had lead a largely disciplined lifestyle prioritizing, sleep, exercise & diet. What did you tweak? I can't believe that it all just stops working. I say this as a 46 M. I know my weak points and this normally happens when I've changed what I do I.e. my cardio strength has taken a nose dive, I'm now getting that back up. Additionally my diet changed, this too is something I'm focused on. My energy levels, how I think, feel and look are all derivative of what I do across these areas.

So essentially you’ve swapped the lows of muscular aches and pains for the highs of repeatedly climbing stairs

I love cycling, though my cardio strength has taken a nose dive - Too much low intensity non cycling activity has taken place. I'm now attempting to make amends to that and myself in Mallorca for a short while. Have my goals while I'm here, first week has really only told me what I knew. The good thing about this all is, I no longer have an ego about it, having accepted what you state. Whether I can get back to the same level I was several years ago, or will be as good as I can be, for who I am now, will be realised by the end of the trip. I'm happy with either outcome and treat it as a lifelong journey. 46, M.

As a regular runner and competitor for over 45 years I have noticed, in my case, that approximately every 7 years I experience a tail off in performance followed by a plateau for the intervening years. There is almost a monotonous regularity to it.

I’m 41 and still setting PRs for wattage - at the long end of the curve, however. My short burst power will never be what it was when I was younger.

I read something about caffeine for the 44 spike. Does this mean giving up coffee? 😢

@@AlanReid-mt9kk, 41 and recently started drinking dandelion coffee and mushroom coffee instead of my daily 3 cups of regular coffee🥴😩😂 They are both excellent alternatives because coffee has more cons than pros. Hth!

You are not the norm, congrats

...same, 58....made a massive health change at 28. Always researching / learning ..feel the same as my 3os. Cheers to us..😀

I'm 63, too, and can still zip up my high school cheerleading dress. I credit lots of yard work and walking my dog.

It should be the norm, for anyone researching their health. Medical field knows nothing as it relates to diet, which is health. Always remember, medicine is sick care. Food is health care. They are a for profit Industry and doctors take almost zero nutrition classes. We are not taught it in school, either. You must learn the benefits of nutrition and exercise on your own, or you're doomed to be sickly as you age, and not independent.

Sure, Jan.

are you follow a whole food plant based diet?

yep the minute he said that I said to myself its all BS...

What is the highest paying drug? You guessed it! Follow the money folks. And only consider half of what the medical industrial complex says to you.

Michael Snyder has a PhD in Biology. Dr Aseem Malhotra, a cardiologist, is the one to ask about statins 😊

It’s also not necessarily new information and I don’t know if he meant to promote statins. We already know we need to start screening for cardiovascular disease by age 40 (if not earlier given the lifestyles of the general public). There’s very well studied cardiovascular disease risk calculators that help determine who would benefit from primary prevention with a statin, and who wouldn’t. As well, we know there’s other risks such as smoking, hypertension, etc. that may be modifiable. If those risk factors can be improved or eliminated, or if cholesterol is improved via lifestyle modifications, one may be able to avoid statin use. However there’s a group of humans where cholesterol is very much genetic based and may not be able to get their cholesterol down no matter how good their lifestyle is. Those people would see benefits from a statin. As well, not everyone is willing to put in the lifestyle changes right away and if that’s the case we should use a statin to avoid long term damage to the arteries while they sort out their lifestyle.

@tonycollazorappo ~ Agreed 💯%!!! I heard a bit of this same topic today on NPR (National Public Radio) - "KPBS" locally; now here it is again. I just paused it at 0:16 seconds in to look through the comments. Okay - back to the video ... 😉

I'm 51, and it's just started this past year for me.

What happened to your mucosal membranes??

@@malinia.20 very dry

​@@lesal.1373 Oh wow! I experienced that when I was on accutane. It was terrible! I'm so sorry

@@malinia.20 sorry you experienced that. Side effects from meds can be horrible.

Yep! I'm 45 & about 2-3 years ago I suddenly started getting ugly! I was always on the low end of pretty, always had amazing skin & I feel like I woke up one day as an ugly step sister. And it just keeps getting worse 😂

@quietearth: have you look on doing pranayama? The literal translation is prana( the life force that reside in the physical body) Yama ( regulation). So, the translation then becomes regulation of the life forces in the physical body is known as pranayama. And the life energy forces are regulated via breath rhythmical patterns. Which has an energizing effect on your whole mind-body system.

……..just WAIT until 50-51! ……it’s like going off a cliff!!!

Tell me one actor or celebrity who still looks attractive after 45? Only Jared Leto still holds a little, other than him everyone falls of a cliff

@@Johnny.Natural ……Rob Lowe just turned 60, he’s on the cover of People magazine. …..he looks 40. Brad Pitt, George Clooney both look GREAT. Colin Ferrell looks great….

You’ve been through a lot… I pray that you’re feeling much better💖

@@SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade Awww, thank you so much!

OMG! Now the cancer rate is increasing in Millennials. Stanford should track you guys on aging, too. I'm a Boomer and worry about how the food (lack of fresh veggies and fruit) the younger generations have been eating plus the lifestyle changes of outdoor play vs indoors play is having on GenZ and GenAlpha especially. Your comment should be alarming docs across the country.

howwwww, 25 and already bald and liver spots??? like what 😢

Recently went to my 50+ yr. high school reunion & all I could think of was : " Who are all these old people & what are they doing at my reunion ? ! " 😂

If you’re being serious and not just joking, it could be environmental factors. I would move if possible… some cities are in “cancer alley”, landfills near homes, train tracks, electricity stations, pollution/smog, lead pipe poisoning water, etc Very sad😐

@@cactustree505 Agree ! Also a boomer & often think that our age group will soon be funding the medical expenses for the younger generations as they're already very unhealthy at their young ages . 🤔 I look at my boomer friends w/ their healthier , active lifestyles , second careers , etc. & think there's a lot to be said for how we were raised & also , for many of us , " healthy life choices " before it was a " trend " !! 🥰

That must’ve been really difficult. I broke only 1 and that was a challenge. I’m hoping you’re enjoying life and thriving

Yikes

Same for my mom… about 5 years ago (at 58) she had a botched foot surgery on one foot but had limited mobility for about a year. It definitely aged her physically… fast forward to this year and she’s enrolled in college and seems to be feeling better. I tthink interacting with young people and learning something new is helpful. Best wishes to you!

I agree! I gain weight when I got very very sick and then they try to put me on statins when I try to explain to them if you can't walk for 2 years you're going to gain some weight wasn't much. I went on those statins and I got sicker than ever I'm off now and I feel like I did 20 years ago.

Doesn't autophagy just mean your body, starved of intake, instead breaks down your muscle tissue to provide cells with the proteins necessary to protect your heart?

@@aninewforestI believe long term fasting does this. Not intermittent fasting.

Autophagy increases as we age anyway. The body is truly remarkable, as long as we don’t abuse it 😊

@@InspiredByBrad It's certainly good for detox.

@@aninewforest there’s a few doctors on RU-vid such as Dr Fung and Dr Berg, who show studies that muscle is preserved and only waste tissues and proteins are broken down and consumed/recycled, so it has a house cleaning effect. The anti aging is from the large spikes in growth hormone that fasting triggers.

Yes ! I've many friends 75 - 90 yrs. old who are doing great mentally & physically . It's due to their lifestyle - eating well , physically active , mental exercise , social interaction , strong faith / beliefs , positive outlooks , routine & preventive medical care , etc. despite the setbacks that may come their way . Mind - body connection !! 🥰

Rosey, I think what the doctors are saying is to build up muscle mass. Instead of cardio. I feel you and take immunity boosters. Live long and prosper

I'm about a year and a half away. I better shape up and slather on all the skincare and take supplements to get ready for this.

No we will be fine… drink plenty of water. diet (limit sugar, processed food, alcohol/wine), exercise (even if it’s just yardwork, walking a dog, parking far from the entrance) and take care of your skin, specifically neck and hands I’m 41 and trying not to get into a “mid life” mindset. We got this!!🥰

Wait until you turn 60!

Yes !! We should all follow her lead for our daily conversations . 🥰

Now that's a topic for another day. :)

I feel that way and I eat meat. And I am 65 and I also do not have any allergies or meds.
