I hope everyone is doing well and Im also doing great, thanks to Allah's grace. I like to express my gratitude to the Healthy Steem team for organizing another Engagement Challenge for Week 6 of Session 16. I am excited to participate in this fantastic contest by sharing my entry.
Today's topic is very interesting as it focuses on The Science of Aging.
Aging is a natural process that happen to everyone as time pass. With time, our bodies and minds changes which we call aging. These changes affect different parts of our body, like skin, hair, bone and brain. The aging process is not just for humans it affects every living creature. Every living being experiences aging and just like human, animals also grow old. As time passes, animals go through changes in their bodies and behavior similar to humans. Aging is a natural part of life for all living creatures.
What is the medical process behind aging and from which age it actually starts?
As we get older, our bodies produce fewer hormones like growth hormone, estrogen, and testosterone, which leads to physical changes. These changes can affect our cells, tissues, and organs lead to physical and mental decline over time. Exposure to radiation and toxins can also damage our DNA and speed up aging. Signs of aging start with little wrinkles, but we really notice it more after we're around 35 or 40. As we get older, our bodies and minds may not work as well. Along with aging, there usually a decrease in both physical and mental abilities such as weaker bones, knee pain, memory loss, and trouble concentrating. Aging can also bring about various health issues, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis.
Some common sign of aging include wrinkle , gray hair, decreased muscle mass, reduced bone density, and changes in vision and hearing. We cant stop getting older but we can slow it down by adopting healthy habits and eating a balanced diet regular exercise, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep.
Are you afraid of becoming older and if yes then what are the challanges of aging that are making you afraid from getting older?
Im not afraid of aging because it's a natural. However i do worry about getting wrinkles on my skin and losing mobility in my body. I also fear having to depend on others for my daily tasks as I grow older.

Anda benar penuaan adalah proses alami yang dirasakan oleh semua orang, kita tak dapat menghindarinya, yang bisa kita lakukan adalah memperlambat proses penuaan, seperti makan makanan bergizi, hidup sehat dan rajin berolahraga secara teratur.
