1. Things put everywhereThe brain began to age at the age of 22, but not until more than 40 years old memory will have obvious changes. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine memory disorder expert Fodouhi said, cognitive aging can happen to everyone, the specific performance is poor memory, such as can not remember people's names, things were put in the first place, and so on. And modern people's bad habits of over-reliance on electronic devices exacerbate the process of memory loss.
Relief method : Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Neuroscience, developmental neurobiology, Wang Jue, postdoctoral advice, to "save" memory, from the beginning of the movement. Research has shown that as we age, the brain becomes smaller, but there are still thousands of new neurons that are added every day as "raw power". Regular aerobic exercise is an "essential nutrient" for nerve cell renewal and can reduce the risk of developing various types of dementia. Square dance, social dance jumping process to coordinate the limbs, and a high degree of concentration, which is a very good exercise for the brain. In addition, middle-aged and elderly people have to communicate more, to participate in the University of the elderly or community group activities; often with their children or partners to travel, contact with new things.
2. Do not love to go out at nightThe American Council on Visual Acuity medical consultant, licensed optometrist Justin Bassan pointed out that after 40 years of age, the eyes will begin to age, the beginning of the night to see things like a layer of frosted glass, so many middle-aged and elderly people are reluctant to go out at night. Prolonged use of computers and cell phones make the eyes of modern people accelerate aging. If you don't control it, you'll be prone to cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma and other eye diseases.

3. TV on louder and louder
Some people turn up the volume of the TV more and more, which may be a sign of hearing loss. American otology research expert Michael Seidman said that, in general, hearing begins to decline from about 55 years old, but in this noisy world, we are surrounded by noise everywhere, and the aging of hearing in advance.
Relief : Turn your home into a haven for your ears, suggests Seidman. Home TV and stereo to maintain a reasonable volume, not too loud; carpet on the ground, the table put cork mat, help to block a variety of indoor and outdoor noise; coffee grinder replaced by pressure seepage pots, whisk instead of vacuum cleaner, as far as possible, the use of low-noise electrical appliances; if the house is adjacent to the street, you may wish to put some greenery on the window sill, and change the acoustic curtains, can absorb the noise.

Among them, the male manifestation of the two sexual activities of the intervals continue to lengthen, *** after the old feel tired, because of sexual life and anxiety, and even erectile dysfunction; women are faced with *** dry, *** times to reduce the number of menopause and other pain. Sex is an emotional connection, and a decrease in couples' sex life can make the relationship fade.

Food quantity becomes smallerThe United States Cleveland Clinic Chief Health Officer Michael Royson said, people are old, the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis ability to decline, digestion and absorption function has also been reduced, it is more likely to be troubled by indigestion. The ability to secrete bile also declines with age, making the body's ability to digest and absorb fat weaker. As a result, people lose their appetite for big fish and meat and eat less.
Relief: Professor Zhou Yingchun, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Nanfang Hospital of the Southern Medical University, said that the elderly themselves should control the amount of food, do not eat too much at a meal, especially do not consume too much greasy food, but should eat more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber. Moderate exercise can enhance gastrointestinal power. Royson recommended that middle-aged and elderly people use the "Mediterranean diet", that is, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, olive oil and fish-based, with some dairy products, poultry, soy products.
6.

For them, life is all falling apart as they get older, and memories become a good medicine to ease the collapse of life. According to Prof. Langer, excessive nostalgia is also a sign of aging.
Relief: Prof. Langer suggests trying to feel everything in the present moment, including every breath and thought in your mind, and being with your own body, and practicing this for a long time can help you get out of the "prison of the mind". Try to find out the details and differences in life that have never been discovered, that kind of surprise will also make your mind new.
