When are you old?
How old are you and how do you feel? Age does not necessarily depend on a number, however large it is. The saying "You are only as old as you feel" can be true. When are you old at all?
From when you are old
Have you ever wondered when you are old? What does that mean anyway?
- The World Health Organization (WHO) has a clear definition for this: Are you over 65? You are considered old. This is the socio-educational point of view, because this is the period when retirement usually begins. However, if you start from the economic point of view, you are already considered old at forty.
- Nevertheless, the calendar has no influence on many people, whether it is retirement or not. Everyone is individual and of course they experience themselves that way.
- Many years ago people were considered to be old at the age of fifty. Most of the time, however, you looked like that. Today everything looks different because the age of anti-aging has dawned.
- There are people who say, "You are old when you start saying that you look young". Whatever that means. But in fact, self-assessment plays an essential role in this statement.
- There is research in which older people played a role. You were asked when you are old. Regardless of whether they were fifty or eighty years old, almost all of them stated an age that was below that of the respondents.

How to stay young for a long time
When you feel or are old, it also has something to do with how a person's way of life is.
- Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, drink a lot of alcohol or smoke? If you do all of this, it may well be yours skin grows old faster than you would like. This is why the so-called age-related wear and tear diseases can also arise.
- For example, if you eat too fat, it can damage the cells. You should therefore try not to overeat and limit your calorie intake. Researchers tested this on mice. If the mice got thirty percent fewer calories, they could live up to forty percent longer.
- The reason for this is probably that fewer oxygen compounds are released that damage the cells. These are also known among the free radicals. These are caused by the increased food. If you eat a lot and also eat fat, the more free radicals are released.
- Continuous exercise - also known as exercise - can keep you young longer. Movement keeps the body fit and the signs of wear and tear can be put aside for now.
- Remember that the brain also needs a task. Try not to write so much down, but memorize it so that your brain cells can take action. Therefore, learn by heart and it is best not to write down the phone numbers any more.
Conclusion: eat a healthy diet, do some exercise and memory training, you will stay young longer. Botox cannot help you with this, however. When you are old does not depend on how you look, but on how you feel body feels.
