Love to cry is a sign of aging

As we get older, aging seems to be inevitable. Although we cannot change our age, we can slow down the aging process. However, we often cannot detect whether we are aging, which makes it very difficult for us to fight against aging. In fact, there are many symptoms of aging that often appear in us, but we just don't pay attention to them.

There are many symptoms of aging, and we can make targeted treatments according to different symptoms of aging. So is crying a sign of aging? The answer is yes. Shedding tears indicates that we are old.

Gray hair and premature wrinkles are obvious signs of aging. In addition, there are other interesting signs of aging that are less well known. Here are 13 signs your body is aging.

1. Headache upon waking up. A headache after a few hours of sleep or after a nap is one of the symptoms of aging.

Recommendation: Conventional painkillers such as paracetamol can help relieve headaches.

2. Love to cry. Studies have found that people over 60 are more likely to experience tears in the wind. As they age, their tear ducts become narrower, leading to tears. Therefore, crying easily is also one of the signs of aging.

3. The teeth have become longer. Gums begin to recede at the age of 40, and teeth appear to be about 0.6 cm longer than when they were young.

Tip: Brushing and flossing your teeth thoroughly can help prevent gum recession, but brushing too hard can have the opposite effect.

4. Clear your throat frequently. The function of the glands that secrete mucus in the elderly's throat begins to decline, the throat becomes less lubricated, and irritation occurs more easily, leading to more frequent throat clearing. Similarly, if you frequently need to clear your throat when you are young, your body may be showing signs of aging.

Recommendation: It is recommended to drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day.

5. Sneeze frequently. Studies have found that there are at least 4 million people suffering from allergic sinusitis among people aged 45 to 65. Allergens are one major reason, and aging is another major reason.

6. The ears, nose and feet become larger. Unlike skeletal muscle, the ear is composed of soft, flexible connective tissue cartilage that continues to grow with age. Noses grow longer, and feet get longer and wider with age, with some people in their 40s having to go up a shoe size every decade.

7. Male voices become shrill and female voices become deeper. Starting around age 70, men's cartilage begins to thin, the vocal cords become less stable, and their speaking voices become higher-pitched (higher frequency). After menopause, women lack estrogen, their vocal cords tend to swell, and their voices become deeper.

Recommendation: Protect your vocal cords by avoiding bad habits that damage your vocal cords, such as shouting.

8. Women’s neck pulse is visible. The visibility of blood vessels in women's neck is a sign of aging. Due to aging reasons such as osteoporosis, women will become shorter and their necks will become relatively shorter, causing the large blood vessels in the neck to bend and appear.

9. There are more moles on the body. After the age of 40, aging accelerates and seborrheic keratoses (age spots) increase.

Recommendation: If these moles or skin spots change unusually or bleed, be sure to see a doctor.

10. Weight gain. After the age of 50, your weight will increase by 0.9 to 1.4 kg each year.

Recommendation: Doing some light weightlifting or squatting regularly can help maintain muscle strength and prevent weight gain too quickly.

11. Getting drunk more easily. The older you get, the more likely you are to get drunk. The reason is that the liver's ability to metabolize alcohol decreases with age, and the kidneys take longer to break down alcohol.

12. Frequently getting up at night. Starting around age 50, both men and women begin to produce more urine at night due to their kidneys, and they wake up more frequently to go to the bathroom. So if you frequently get up at night, pay attention to whether your body is sending you aging signals.

Recommendation: Do not drink water two hours before going to bed, and do not drink too much coffee, tea or other beverages four hours before going to bed.

13. Soap can also cause skin allergies. As we age, our skin's ability to retain moisture weakens, it becomes more susceptible to dryness, and the epithelial cells lose their moisture barrier, making them more susceptible to allergic reactions to chemical products, even soap.

Above we introduced what aging is. We know that aging is inevitable as we age, but we can delay the onset of aging. Above we introduced in detail a variety of symptoms of aging. Once you discover these symptoms of aging, you should use the corresponding treatment methods introduced above to deal with them.
