- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- A new study finds that the average person experiences two rapid bursts of aging in their lifetime -- at ages 44 and 60. The research published in the journal "Nature Aging" examined age-related changes in the molecules of more than 100 adults. Stanford researcher Michael Snyder, co-author of the study, joins to discuss.

At age 44 I started ballet. At age 48 I started pointe. I’m 58 now. Thanks for the reminder to not stop. Ten hours a week of exercise fights a lot of aging
Bravo! 🎉 ☺️ 🎉
& Brava!
@@danthefan5378 I see you are aware of the difference. Thank you 😊
lol okay miss moneybags
Yes 🙌
I believe it. When I turned 44 some of my molecules started complaining that other molecules were making too much noise.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😋
hahahaha
Were they also on your lawn?
Thank you. To some extent this managed to console me
I've been saying that, since I turned 60, my body just "feels" older. Now I know why!
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.
I’m 64 and do weight training every other day and bike or Peloton riding every other day. I’m down to the weight I was at age 30 because of healthy eating and portion control. It’s not rocket science, but you need to have discipline, but it’s 100% worth it.
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.
I'm 65 and I think it's a mind set. When I was 60, I was under alot of job stress so I retired and started to work out, walk every day and lost weight. Now I feel great in body, mind and spirit and feel younger than I did at 60!
😂😂😂
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
I know getting through 2020 put a lot of aging on me 🙁
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.
A huge intervention he did not mention - Do not eat processed or fast foods at all. Another is simple physical activity throughout the day every day.
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.
Menopause has impacted me way more than anything in my 40s. I haven’t hit 60 yet.
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 RUclips. 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.
Stop smoking, stop drinking
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
I swear I felt it right when I turned 60. And I was telling people about it, how I suddenly felt old and creaky.
I’m turning 60 in 2 months 😮
I definitely felt my body majorly changing at 44. Had health scares, only to learn it was perimenopause systems.
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.
I’m 63 , I eat good with plenty of protein, exercise with cardio and weights, and weigh the same as I was at 18.
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.
I am 67 soon to be 68. I have felt that my body has aged over the last two months. We are avid walkers, we are normal weight. We have just returned two weeks ago from a three month trip to Croatia where we walked everywhere. Perhaps the jet lag is prolonged, but I definitely feel my body has changed.
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 breezed right through the mid 40s aging spurt, but by my late 60s it really caught up with me. Loss of muscle mass, less sleep and more muscle aches and pains seems to be the major issues. I'm starting to feel old, but that's life.
I'm a 46 year old male and I can confirm that I have aged a hell of a lot in the past couple of years... 😕
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….
He said that exercise, especially strength training to build muscle mass, drinking a lot of water, and taking anti-inflammatory herbs & statins (lipid lowering drugs) - these lifestyle choices matter in the aging process! Very excellent reporting! I'm going to have to read that research from Stanford!
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.
A wise fictional archeologist once said, “it’s not the years, it’s the mileage.”
🤣
Hahahahaha great quote Indy
“Hey lady you call him Doc-Tah Jones!”
I'm turning 64 next month, and what I noticed the most over the past few years was the beginning of a 'turkey neck'/sagging skin under the chin, less cardio endurance (could have been post-COVID effect) and a noticeable decrease in the desire to weight train, which I've been doing regularly for over 40 years. I'm aware of this change, so I'm determined to get back on the wagon!
I mean, at some point in your 40s, everyone stops looking like a young adult. Then in your 60s you transition from standard adult to old person.
Definitely not everyone!
Lol just wait. @malinia.20
This study is NOT representative of the general population. It is a study of only 108 participants who all lived in the vicinity of Stanford University.
Information about lifestyle is totally absent, as admitted by the researchers.
The mean observation period, including follow up, covered less than two years.
The researchers concede:
“It is important to acknowledge that our cohort may not fully represent the diversity of the broader population. The selectivity of our cohort limits the generalizability of our findings”.
Exactly!
I’m disappointed, but not surprised, at the coverage of this study in MSM.
No critical analysis whatsoever. I wonder if any of the journalists who covered this actually bothered to read the paper.
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.
Yep, at 45 I had to reevaluate every lifestyle habit that i had cultivated for years, b/c nothing was wprking like it used to: skincare, diet, exercise
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.
Yep I’m old and just trying to embrace the new me. Age is a reminder of our temporary existence on Earth. Although the body has a limited number of years our souls are eternal. Time to start preparing for what is coming.
I noticed a real aging tipping point at 63. Skin, mucosal membranes, kidneys, lipids and blood pressure have all been been markedly affected.
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.
Here’s what I noticed with cycling, my average speed on the same trails has dropped by 20%. At 60 I was still able to ride as fast as 40 year olds. I still exercise regularly with both weights and cardio but as aging athletes say “ time is undefeated “.
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’m in my late 50s and work part time in the cardiology dept and what I noticed people that come in their 50s, 60s, 70s who have serious heart problems( not all but a lot) usually have taken drugs for years, smoked like a chimney for decades, drank too much for years & have/had toxic unhealthy relationships with romantic partners or/ and family members and sometimes it’s several situations I mentioned at once & here I am running around almost 58 in a very busy & sometimes chaotic unit( I’m not a nurse I do administrative work)& i don’t smoke , drink, i exercise, I drink water, take vitamins and I’m careful about what kind of people who I bring in my life. Just like those people I mentioned who started their habits when they were much younger, I started doing the things I mentioned when I was much younger, so I believe if healthier habits are done when people are in their 20s and 30s it could help with the aging process later on.
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 don't know. I'm in my 60s and I feel healthy as a horse. I hope I don't break my leg.
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 ... 😂
At soon-to-be 62, I am in better shape now than I was at 46. My workouts are better and more efficient. Overall, my diet is better. Everyone ages differently. If you’re not exercising including weight training, start today. You won’t regret it.
As an Asian I look much younger than I am but I know people like me when they do age, they AGE.
I never felt any real changes until I broke both ankles at 56. After that, the long immobility has taken it's toll. I am now 61 and feel so much older.
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!
One clarification, Mike Snyder is a PhD, not a physician. He is truly a brilliant researcher (and also a nice guy).
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!
Everyone over 60 already knew this
😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
i'm so mad i'm watching this 5 days before my 44th bday 😒
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 🥴
A lot of my aches and pains that I attributed to aging went away when I started walking more, including climbing stairs repeatedly.
I think what helped me in those times was I had to physically work hard and it kept me from falling apart.
I could feel a change at about 50. I’m almost 67 and haven’t felt anything just yet in my 60s. If so, it’s been so subtle I haven’t noticed it. However, I took really good care of myself throughout my adult life.
It should be pretty well known by any doctor at this point in time that statins are more harmful to your health than helpful. Unfortunately, it seems that some doctors are still drinking the drug company Koolade when it comes to these drugs. The fact that this doctor is singling out statins for older people makes me believe he has no idea what he is talking about.
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 😊
At age 62 I broke my foot and had 2 surgeries and was in a cast for about a year of my life. Just when I was back up on two feet, I received a breast cancer diagnosis and got to spend 2020 healing from surgery and going through treatment, plus the stress that everyone felt with the pandemic. I can't say for sure it is only my age, or the other health crises I went through in a short time span that made me feel suddenly "older".
You’ve been through a lot… I pray that you’re feeling much better💖
@@APTTMHYforever Awww, thank you so much!
We have to remember there's a whole lot more to aging than just these 2 bursts identified here. I've seen people in their 20's who could pass for 12. On the other hand I've seen people in their 50's who look like their 80 or visa versa. As far as I can tell there is nothing consistent about aging. Some of us get lucky and some don't.
I saw the changes the minute I turned 60, now at 63 I feel it, LOL.
@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 ... 😉
all good until he said statins. that pretty much negates anything else. If a doc tells you to take statins... RUN
Lol half my high school class was bald and had liver spots by 25. I don't even wanna think about how bad they age by 44!
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 " !! 🥰
No two people are alike. I find it very hard to believe that these two specific age points apply to everyone.
This paper studied 108 people who lived in the vicinity of Stanford University.
Lifestyle factors were not considered.
The entire study and follow up was less than 2 years.
I don’t see how any meaningful conclusions can be drawn.
How about 42-46 and 58-62
I won't even bother watching, snake oil ad ..
Too small of a sample size.
@@bevturner2258 Although I tend to agree, the comments trending here mostly support what's being said in the video. It would be interesting to expand the study. There was a long term one in Framingham MA that started in 1948. I wonder if the two studies would find similarities.
Almost hitting 50, started exercising and building muscle at 40 and to be honest I'm in the best health and shape that I've ever been in my life. So trust me if you do the work you'll get the benefits.
I'm already feeling it at age 38, so I'm trying hard to take care of myself.
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 am 70. I have, in the past, done everything as I should. According to doctors, I should have had perfect health because my diet was near perfect, my exercise levels good, and my weight a little under optimum. However, at 50, I caught a virus off a baby, and within a short time was near death. Thankfully, I pulled through, but this year, many of the issues caused by my experiences have flared up. I've spent weeks in hospital, and I'm currently waiting to find out if heart surgery will be necessary. You can do everything possible to keep ageing at bay, but it comes to nothing if bad luck intervenes.
are you follow a whole food plant based diet?
Hint: avoid statins if at all possible, talk to your doc - agree with comments about life style changes if needed. I am 73 this year and still running 100 mile races etc. - good cardiac exercise is important as is eating plenty protein and fresh foods.
They missed another big one by not extending the study to subjects beyond 75 years old.
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 !! 🥰
I agree. The bursts of aging happen at 44 and 60 and on all the yers in between and after.
Great Journalist - She asks the questions and then steps back until researcher fully answers her questions. So rare these days.
Yes !! We should all follow her lead for our daily conversations . 🥰
Id be curious to know how prevalent those two points of life show up in divorce statistics.
I’ve been saying for a while now that something happened when I turned 60. It’s all different now. I’m 61 and a half.
I’m 59 and have really felt these aging changes over just the past year. And I’m in pretty good shape… this time a year ago, I was doing a 125 mile backpacking trip (it ended at 50 miles due to injury). But since then, I can feel my body losing strength and processing more slowly. I still exercise, I still eat decently, but it’s changing anyway.
I'm about a year and a half away from 44. When they said that number, I was like great. exactly what I was expecting, because everyone I now in their mid-40's definitely looks like they aged overnight. I better shape up and slather on all the skincare and take all supplements to get ready for this. I'm pretty much wrinkle free but I do notice new things on my face that I don't love. I'm also tired all the time, but that has more to do with my lifestyle and diet I think. So really need to improve.
This may be true, and it may not. It’s one study. It will have to be recreated to see if the results are the same. I’m 70 and I’m a retired contractor and now full time rancher. I build fences, barns, stack hay, and everything else that comes with having livestock. My herd is 40 animals. I definitely get more tired than when I was 25, but I pace myself and always get everything done. It’s all mental attitude and a healthy diet. Now that I’ve said all this, I’ll probably drop dead tomorrow.
There’s a body of research that shows 150 minutes a week of Zone 2 training will boost body function. Once several months of consistent training has been achieved one session of Zone 5 weekly will improve VO2 Max. Look it up!
I’m very fortunate to be able to swim four times a week. All totaled it’s about 12 km a week. I started swimming again about ten years ago after a long break. Since last September I’ve done over 500km of Z2.
I was never on a team growing up.
I’m 62 and will keep this effort as long as circumstances allow. At the moment the pools are all too hot (summer sucks) for training so I’m cycling at the gym and doing some weight training once a week.
I’m hate to say it, but I’m in better shape now than I was in high school.
Good luck, Everybody!
Amazing. Stay up! That's so helpful
@@jadehare Thanks a lot. After 156 hours of Z2 since last September my metabolism runs on mostly body fat so I don’t get the “insulin spike” hunger attacks I used to get. Z2 has transformed my body. Plus, I’ve gained muscle.
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in....
So true at 60 I felt like a million bucks at 66 I feel every ache and pain that I put myself through in my younger years I literally need about Half an hour that I call defrosting by moving methodically to get ready for my day but after that I’m pretty good for the rest of the day and then repeat the next day and so on life goes 😎
It is true. I turned 44 in 2000. Before that, everyone thought I was in my 20s, and after that I looked like someone in the 40s.
Fasting promotes cellular renewal and anti-aging through autophagy
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 RUclips 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.
I didn't age more rapidly in my forties. I aged in my sixties due to health issues.
Didn’t really feel my age until late seventies. Now 84 I really feel it. Diminution of everything. Keep swimming though and do as much as I can. My diet is far from perfect.
I learned to skate at age 30 and joined a men's shinny group at age 35. Now at 42, I'm playing weekly and need to find more ice time. It doesn't feel like work but it's like a new lease on life. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to improve their cardio and not die.
Yes. Yesterday i was young .
This morning i feel old.
Wow...truth! I recently turned 60 and I JUST have been noticing lots of changes. It's sad really. Guess I'm gonna have to step up my game to make it through the next decade.🙄
Hahaha. We believe in you. Stay up!
I turn 44 in five months. I’m doomed 😮
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!
I can't believe I actually felt that at 44! Probably why I decided to go vegan and quit coffee and alcohol. My body literally stopped processing things the way it used to. I hope now at 46 it'll be easier to handle.
i think im in one now... i feel it, i will turn next 44 and suddenly i have lines on my face, less energy and im in perimenopause also, but i feel different than 10yrs ago. i also noticed my performance in the gym, im not as strong as 2yrs ago even if i do the same workouts .i get more tired and recovery has slowed down. i have trained for over 25yrs and this is the first time i feel weaker :D its like almost overnight changes, it all came so fast for the past 2yrs.
At 42 I went plant-based and 10 years later I feel better than I did a decade ago. Allergies went away, good blood pressure, never get sick, I exercise weekly which keeps me active and full of energy. This is just several changes from "The Fountain of Youth Lifestyle" that can change anyone's health.
I have always been fairly active, but in my early 40s I started going to the gym for weight training. Went every third day and put in a strong effort. Within a couple of years I had gained a LOT of muscle, barely fitting into my large shirts, and lost fat. The 40s and 50s are decades where you can still be strong and athletic if you just incorporate consistent exercise, and you can maintain a high degree of musculoskeletal health for decades after, though there is an inevitable decline in later years.
Finally a positive comment. I'm 42 and started weight training 3/4x a week and trying to eat much healthier. Alcohol, beer, smoking are no problem for me since I've never liked that.. my real issue is sugar, but working on it. Hopefully I have another 10 years without looking like a very "old" person.
Look at the actresses and singers who abuse drugs and alcohol. They age at an incredible rate and look 15 years older after a few, as little as 2, years of 'partying '. The ones who don't have long careers because they avoided drugs, alcohol and spending their nights 'partying' with friends. Anyone over the age of 50 knows exactly what I'm talking about. Take care of your body and avoid stress, eat a balanced diet and exercise daily, but nothing that grinds your joints down needlessly.
Genetics are a huge influence on how fast we age.
I wonder who funded the study. Sounds like bs to me.
At age 65 my whole body changed - I got old!
Eventually, we all end up in the ground or the oven.
Now that's a topic for another day. :)
I'm 65, I would say this is probably true. I know that aging has seemed kind of stair stepped. I still feel good at my age although I don't have the endurance I once had. I do exercise regularly and try to drink enough water. However, I can say that as far as physical appearance, I saw big changes occur pretty suddenly in my early to mid 40s and again around 63/64 (not 60 specifically) since 63 it's been a battle to keep muscle. Focusing on more protein in my diet and weight lifting seems to be helping.
Just read a recent AARP article on muscle mass loss occurring RAPIDLY in women after age 60. Good on you for your efforts and wisdom to take proactive measures.
Taking statins in your forties?????????? There's your problem. And what was the ''ethnicity'' of this very small sample of adults?
Oh my word I am 70 This has been my experience
In my 40s, I had to get bifocals for my glasses because my eyes started losing the ability to adjust for distance. Having so much of my field of view blurry really made me feel old.
eat plant based, daily walks, lift weights, drink water, stop smoking, keep drinking to a minimum
Well damn. No wonder I’m having more trouble running two miles these days.
Whelp that gives me something to look forward to.
Statins would be a non starter for me, in my opinion statins is bad advice.
i’m really tired of people who look very unhealthy trying to tell me how to stay healthy 🤷🏽♀️😬
He's 69 years old. When asked if there's anything we can do, I'm surprised he didn't bring up hair dye.
Unhealthy?? He looks like a reasonably healthy 69 year old.
Maybe unattractive idk but he looks healthy, clear skin, moderate weight… male pattern baldness is genetic, nothing to do with “health” per se
Incredible. I never knew we got old.
But do you still feel young?
You missed the point. They are not revealing that we get older, but that we don't age incrementally like we all believed in the past. Instead we age in intensive bursts. Find someone intelligent in your life and get them to explain it to you.
You never learned to listen very well either
Went full carnivore 5 years ago so life changing at 61 yrs old now its the fountain of youth :) I feel so much younger again
No more joint pains can hike workout no recovery issues the next day and no pain that day gaining muscles mass not losing
I hike every morning about 4 miles with weight in pack (rucking) and get home and just feel good NOT like I was hiking
Sleep is better than ever never have to get up at night to hit the head anymore either :)
Eyesight has improved and back to my prescription of 20 years ago
Also back to the weight of my 20s and 30s and same clothing size never saw that coming
Yes I am getting older by calendar days but I am not feeling it in my body or mentally I have felt younger and younger again maybe back to my 30s and 40s now is how I feel and capable of doing things physically
another huge side the mental clarity is like I was young again !
and truly look younger these days as wrinkles went down and hair color has come back about half way and another huge life change is life long severe allergies are GONE so much more like eye floaters going away skin tightening back up no more skin issues the list just keeps going
Worth trying if you have not :)
IMHO the nutrition is something we have NOT been doing correct and our society shows we are on the wrong path and history is on our side of what made us great about 3000 years ago with agriculture and grains is when we started having health issues and skeletal remains prove this
Saying one size fits all is garbage.
At 51 I feel better than in my 30s.
Oh please.
who said that. and this is not about U. feel okay now?
I felt like I was 25 until I hit 70. Now it's all starting to go downhill a lot faster than I'd like. :(
That's why I skip age 44 and 60.
I just turned 44 this year😬😬😬😬😬 Now I’m being told it’s all down hill⛰️from here😓😓😓😓😓
I noticed I aged rapidly right after 50 and then again after 60. It’s kind of sad😢, but normal.
Hormones. Hormones, hormones, hormones. The fountain of youth. Supplemented by exercise and a healthy diet.
You forgot quality sleep and fun!
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 RUclips. 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.
The issue of digestion changes cannot be overemphasized. My acid reflux is contant even 15 hours after eating and keeps me from sleeping. Couldn't figure out what's causing it but as the video mentioned impaired carbohydrate absorbtion, that could be a clue!
Since turning 60, I've been consuming a lot more junk food and have increased the amount of time I spend sitting.
I’m 55 & I constantly feel like I’ve aged 10 years within the last two years. But I know for a fact that working out regularly and having downtime mitigates my negative thoughts and physical symptoms of aging.
“I’m 46 going on electric scooter.” -me 😅
Great! I got that to look forward to.
This is why I chelate with DMSA/EDTA/OSR, cycle LDN, take all my vitamins & minerals except B-6 because B-6 is poison in high amounts. I eat healthy, avoid processed foods & exercise. Am 42 but most people think I'm early 30s. Endorphins are strong thanks to LDN. Mood & pain tolerance are great. I sleep great cause I've spent a lot of time testing what my body needs & what actually works. I have not had any rapid aging events yet & don't expect any just cause a bunch of research geeks say it's normal for our normally sick population.
You look 52.
I AM 70 I have missed BOTH deadlines, but hey, I am a chronic procrastinator... ;)))
Healthy food, not overweight, daily medium hard work in my shop left me not time to feel old. This things are NOT for me, way too busy for that.
But it feels funny to see all this old wrecks around me, about my age, taking two minutes to sit down in a chair.
I challenge them to start moving and they look at me, like I am crazy. "Well I am 74., therefore I AM OLD and must act according to my age". ME : watch me jump up the 8 stairs touching just the middle one. One of this days I have to ask my daughter to take a short vid of me. Stairs to the first floor were meant to run up, two at the time, not fighting to scale them like Mt Everest...
MOVE GUYS, you'll be perfectly still long enough...
I really felt older at age 46. (Male, mixed-western-European ethnicity.) I was already feeling it, but then, as a first responder, suddenly had to work extended hours, during and after Hurricane Iketwo months before I reached age 47. It was eight months before I felt anything like normal again, but, it was a different level of normal. Up to reaching age 45, people had tended to guess that I was in my mid-thirties. By age 47, nobody under-guessed by age. Another change that I noticed was that people stopped asking “Where do you get all of your energy.” So, I was not the only one who noticed. Others saw it, too.
I felt a second “burst” of aging start at about 55. I retired at age 56, and was able to get better rest, and fight against aging, resulting in what seemed like some amount of improvement, but by about 60, my physical endurance declined, and my ability to tolerate hot weather became noiticeably worse.
Experienced this at 50 and then at 65.
