Getting Old Is Not For Men Who Are Sissies


 
Health
There is a ticking clock in us all as we get older and with each tick of that clock we experience change. For most healthy men who manage to avoid disease the physical changes happen slowly and gradually over a long period of time but they do all add up.

After the age of thirty men lose their muscle unless they have a job that involves manual labor or they regularly do an intentional exercise program made up mostly of strength training exercise. This loss of muscle tissue is one of the most profound of the aging markers.

The loss of highly active muscle tissue triggers a drop in the metabolism (the body's engine). You could liken this affect to a sports car being taken down to a V8 then a V4 and finally in very old age a motor scooter. This happens over a period of time, barely noticeable. But it will be...

Paralleling the loss of muscle is an increase in body fat but it is often hidden in the places that muscle tissue used to be so is not that obvious. The scales may register only a slight increase but the affect is more serious as the loss of muscle is offset by the increase in body fat. This fat can also be inside the abdomen clinging on to major organs getting in the way of them functioning properly.

There are other changes. As men get older their blood vessels begin to stiffen and get narrower and blood pressure usually creeps upward. Maximum attainable heart rate declines by about one beat per minute per year and the hearts peak capacity to pump blood declines 5-10 percent per decade.

The downward run continues with the loss of muscle tissue rate increasing as the years pass by that eventually reduces a man's musculature by as much as 50 percent. This contributes to a corresponding loss of function, all over body weakness and the end result is disability to some degree or another. There are other changes over time as reflexes become slower and co-ordination suffers, the gait gets slower and steps shorter. The brain slows down as well declining in function and memory lapses can crop up at embarrassing times.

It is not surprising that a man's spirits often sag along with skin and flesh. It sounds grim and it is. These changes happen to healthy men. Men with disease and medical problems start the downward spiral of declining health much earlier and slow down in every way even more. All in all, getting older is not for men who are sissies.

No man can completely stop the clock, but every man can slow its tick and counter the effect the aging process has on him. We now know that most of the changes attributed to aging are really the symptoms of inactivity - of disuse - and of using our muscles less.

This is so easy to fix. Just get yourself started on a proper strength training program and rebuild and recover lost muscle. It is that simple. Get some help from a fitness professional to get the very best start and you will never look back.

Everyone gets older, but how you get older is all up to you. No-one else is responsible and no-one else can do it for you. So, you must take action and you must decide how you want your future to be. Do not fall for the notion that you must slow down and 'settle' into your golden years. Do not slow down - speed up. Do not do less - do more. Just because you are getting older does not mean you have to get old.

If there is a magic pill for anti-aging proper exercise is it. Nothing even comes close to the anti-aging effects on our body as exercise does. Those who do it consistently live longer, healthier and happier lives. The bottom line is - 'do it or die'.
