A. Ask about ageing and you are asking about three issues: how you look, how you feel, and what is going on inside your body. Let us begin with how you look. Outward signs of aging could include premature wrinkling, stiff joints, slower movements, dull thinning hair, dry skin, and reduced body tone.
How you feel touches your emotions and sense of wellbeing. Seeing physical changes in the mirror are often demotivating. Poor muscle tone and lack of free walking range may cause you to slow down on necessary exercise to avoid discomfort just when you need it the most. Your emotional state because of this may obstruct your daily performance, spontaneity, happiness, activities, hobbies, and interaction with others.
Feeling older than your age can affect your mental health.
Looking good has an evolutionary bias. The skin plays an important role in perceptions of health and beauty. It is an age marker. Do not confuse looking good with beauty as that ideal varies from culture to culture.
What does not vary is the conscious and unconscious ability to recognise health and vitality in others. Employment decisions are made on this. People who look healthy are considered low risks in company appointments for instance. People who look healthy and vital are more likely to find mates.
People who look healthy are considered more attractive. So, when you want to look good you are not being vain. You are probably unconsciously responding to a society, community or group which seeks evidence of desirable habits: responsibility, self-discipline, and self-care. Ever figure out why an interview you had for prospective employment went well when your skills are discussed but then you are side stepped for the job.
Think about it. Company leaders need to invest in people who look healthy apart from impressive CVs.
Here is a reminder: Collagen is a significant body protein you cannot ignore. Remember it is one third of your body’s protein. It is the glue which holds your body structure and skeleton together, giving you physical strength, a bounce in your step, easy mobility, thick artery walls, a healthy gut, body tone, a hydrated smooth skin and glossy hair. Cartilage, tendons, and ligaments benefit.
You need it. Your physical radiance sends powerful messages to others.
An appropriate supply of collagen in the body can change your disposition, behaviour, performance, and health quotient. With age bodily production of collagen slows down and your joint wear affects your movement.
Arthritis could be a factor. You do not have to be hostage to your body’s deficiencies
