Taste and smell (Starts ageing at 60)

When we get birth, there are about 10,000 taste buds that spread out on the tongue, however the amount of taste and smell begin to decline, after we turn 60. If you’re old enough to live until 90, the taste buds will only be the 1/3 of the amount when you’re in 30!

Bladder (It will start ageing at 65)

When you hit 65 or further, your bladder control will not listen to your order anymore. The bladder seems to contract suddenly, although it’s not full. The women have higher risk than the men in this bladder problem have, especially for those that after their menopause, where the tube becomes thinner and weaker. The bladder capacity is about half of a younger people, where it’s about one cup in a 65-year-old and two cups in a 30-year-old!

Voice (It starts to ageing at 65)

Believe it or not, our voice also facing the ageing process, which it will become hoarser over the age. It is because the soft tissues in the larynx has became weakened when we ageing. Thus, it will affect the pitch and loudness of the voice. The common voice changes after 65 are women’s voice might become lower in pitch; while the men’s voice will turn into higher pitch.

Liver (The ageing process starts at 70)

The liver seems to has strongest resistant against the ageing process, as its cells have an extraordinary ability to regenerate again.

Welcome to the Truth of Ageing - Part 5, and hope that you won't get bored and will still enjoy unravel the truth of ageing. Today, we will discuss another four body parts, and there are kidney, prostate, hearing, gut.

Kidney (Starts ageing at 50)

As we get older, the number of filtering units or scientifically known as "nephrons", which responsible to remove the body waste from the bloodstream starts to reduce, especially when we all in our middle age. Hence, the elders will need to wake up several times, and busy keep rushing to the bathroom in the middle of night.

For your information, when you are in your 75, the kidneys can only filter half of the amount of blood, which a 30-year-old's will! Therefore, you need to take good care of your kidneys.

Prostate (The ageing process starts at 50)

The benign prostatic hyperplasia, which the prostate had become enlarged with ageing; is the most common problem that affects the men over 50. The main cause for this benign prostatic hyperplasia is the prostate consequently absorbs large amounts of the testosterone, which it quickened the prostate's cells growing rate.

The walnut's size of prostate, can grow into the size of tangerine if it receives too much of testosterone!

Hearing (It will start ageing at 55)

According to the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, there are more than 50% of people, which aged over 60 lose their hearing permanently! This condition, where known as "presbycusis" happens because the gradually loss of "hair cells" (Attention, this "hair cells" doesn't have any relation with our hair!). This "hair cells" is a very tiny sensory cells in the inner ear, and its main duty is to pick up sound vibrations, transform the sound vibrations in the fluids of cochlea and finally will send it to our brain.

Gut (It starts to ageing at 55)

Your gut is in the top performance, where its most active in your childhood and it will drop tremendously after you have reached 55.

The Truth of Ageing – Face it or Leave it, As This is The Cycle of Life! Part 4

Nice to see you all again, let us cut the long story short and we are going straight to the points today. The three main characters for today will be the Heart, eyes, and teeth!

Heart (The ageing process starts around 40 or younger)

The heart, one of the most important organ and the only organ that cannot have a good rest (Poor little Heart, you should thanks him/her for doing such an excellent job). However, the heart pumps blood less effectively all around the body when we get older. Our blood vessels become less elastic and the arteries become harden or even get blocked, thanks to the fatty acid that stuck and forming on the coronary arteries (You’d better reduce the oil/fat intake amount, if you do love your Heart). According to the recent study, those men over 45 and women over 55 are at the high risk of a heart attack, compared with others.

Eyes (It starts deteriorate and ageing at 40)

When we get older, the eye’s ability to focus will begin to decrease, since the eye’s muscles become weaker. Thus, most of the people over 40s must need a accompany – a pair of glasses, which to overcome the long-sightedness problem. Some of them might having cataract and need to undergoing an operation too!

Teeth (It starts ageing at 40)

Less saliva produces as we getting older, where this is a bad sign. For your information, the saliva is the chemical that washes away 90% of our mouth daily bacteria. If the amount of saliva become lesser, then your teeth and gums are easier to decay! As a result, the receding gums are the common oral disease for those adults over 40.

The Truth of Ageing – Face it or Leave it, As This is The Cycle of Life! Part 3

Hey guys, thanks for keeps coming again and again to my blog. As usual, today we will continue the body ageing problems, and the topics that we about to discuss are: Breasts, bones and fertility!

Are you ready for it? Then, let's the journey rolls on...

Breasts (Most of the women's breasts start ageing at 35)

When women reach their mid-30s, their breasts will constantly losing tissue and fat, hence the size and fullness will reduce accordingly as well. In other hands, the research show up that breast cancer risk did increase with age, but it's not fully related with the physical changes in the breast. The main reason of the breast cancer is causing by the mutant cells inside the women's breast!

Bones (The ageing process starts at 35)

Did you know that throughout our life, the old bones are broken down by cells called "Osteoclasts" and rapidly replaced by bone-building cells named "Osteoblasts"?

The growing rate of children's bone is more rapid than the adults.

The bones start to lose its density at 35, there is why so many elders having the Osteoporosis problem when they reach 50 or above (Ok, it's time to drink a cup of Anlene, which is help to maintain bones...lol).

By the age of 80, we lose at least two to three inches, and this thanks to the shrinking in size and density of bones!

Fertility (Start ageing at 35)

When a woman reaches her 35, the number and quality of eggs in the ovaries will start to decrease like a speed of rocket! The eggs will also becoming less fertile and the chances of miscarriage are increase as well.

The men will also facing the fertility problem that women did. The doctors have discovered that the quality and quantity of sperm starts to drop drastically by 35. When a man reaches his 45, there will be 2/3 chances, where the pregnancies ended up with miscarriage!

The Truth of Ageing – Face it or Leave it, As This is The Cycle of Life! Part 2

Ok, Three days ago we've talked about the ageing of brain, lung and skin. Today, we will continue with the ageing problem (Hope this will not scare you off) and we start with the hair.

Hair (The ageing will start at 30)

The hair loss is a common issue, especially the male hair loss that normally begins in the 30s. For your information, a hair usually grows from each follicle for about three years, then it will shed and replace with a new hair grows. If a person having male-pattern baldness, this can be a serious matter as it will eventually causing the hair follicle to shrink and in the end, no hair will be grown out at all!

Grey hair, this is caused by the inactive of Melanocytes, which is a colored pigment produced by cells in the hair follicle. That is why, when we become older, less pigment is produced and which means, the grey hair will grow out as a results.

Muscles (The muscle ageing will start at 30)

Muscles are continuously being built up and broken down each year. By the time we're reached 30, the breakdown process seems to be more rapid than the buildup. Moreover, when the adult reach his/her 40, they will start to lose between 0.5 and 2 percent of their muscle each year! Doctor advised us to do regular exercises to prevent this problem.

The Truth of Ageing – Face it or Leave it, As This is The Cycle of Life! Part 1

Since the first day we first born, we have had signed a white and black contract with another agent, “The death”. Therefore, your body organs will starts ageing soon, just after the age of 20!

Today, I will unravel the mysteries of the body ageing process and we start with our main body organ: the Brain.

1. Brain (The earliest of all, which it starts ageing at 20)

For your information, when you still a baby you have around 100 billion of nerve cells and this number starts to reduce in your 20s. When you reached 40, you will probably losing up to 10,000 nerve cells per day!

Note: Nerve cells, or also known as “neurons” are important, as without them, you’ll have a greatest risk of having the Alzheimer’s disease!

2. Lungs (Almost the same as the brain was, it starts ageing at around 20)

Your lung capacity will slowly to reduce starting from the age of 20. When we aged 30, we're still able to inhale averagely two pints of air with just a single breath; however, it’s drastically down to one or even less when you’re in 70!

3. Skin (It starts ageing at the mid-20s)

As the chain reaction with the brain, the skin seems starts to age eventually in your mid-20s. The main reason is your dead skin cells don’t shed in a rapid speed, which this causes the new skin cells may decrease slowly. As a result, the fine wrinkles and thin transparent skin will be appeared and formed immediately or sooner at your mid-30s (Yeah, it's time for the skin care products, which it will become the rescuer for this wrinkles, black spots etc...lol).

Being one of those that have much of passion in the music and lyrics, I have listened over tons of songs and even composed a few song lyrics by my own.

Their songs are brilliant and would be an effective “anti stress” method for all the people that love listening songs.
