The Importance Of Aging

Aging Human bodies are technically set up for failure. Aging comes naturally. Aging is experienced by most humanity in their lifetime. Everyone ages at their own time and rate but not everyone has same experience. In my paper one will be informed that aging is a major risk factor.

When we are young we never think about what we are going to be like when we are in our eighties or nineties. Well at least I have not really put a thought into it. But when I think of old people I think of gray hair with lots of wrinkles whom tend to walk slow. There is more to just physically getting old. We tend to live in the present and not really
From the time we are infants our brains are adapting and learning. We become smarter and sharper at learning new skills. The brain function changes normally as people pass from childhood through growing old. Through most adulthood the brain function is relatively stable.

The brain does continue producing new neurons. As we age our brain constantly reorganize in response to new experiences. But the brain shrinks in size and after a lifetime of aging it becomes less efficient at accessing that knowledge and adding to it.

When I met her she was a very kind and outspoken women. Always had a conversation going. Throughout the time she changed her moods. She started being very quiet and would not say much.
