JAKARTA - Recognizing signs of premature aging in the body can be the key to maintaining health and quality of life. With age, the body does experience various changes, but there are some symptoms that can indicate that your body is aging faster than it should be.

A number of conditions can be a sign of premature aging in a person. Reporting from WebMD, Tuesday, July 29, here are some signs that may indicate premature aging and how to deal with it.

If your walking speed slows down in your 40s, it may be a sign you're aging faster than usual. Walking is one of the easiest and best sports you can do. To start the walking program, start with 5 minutes a day and upgrade it to 30 minutes. Try to reach 100 steps per minute. (To track it, count your steps for 10 seconds and multiply it by six.) To make it easier, wear special shoes that are supportive and walk with friends.

Brown Spots due to sunlight appear most frequently in the face, hands, and arms. This condition is common, especially in people over the age of 50. Most are harmless and caused by sun exposure for years. Meet your doctor if:

Use sunscreen and cover the skin in the sun to help prevent it. Avoid outdoors between 10.00 and 14.00, when the sun is hot.

Light memory changes occur as you get older and can start in your 40s. You may take longer remembering your name, facts, or reasons for doing something. However, most cases of Alzheimer's and other types of dementia only occur after the age of 65. And dementia is not a normal part of aging. To help keep your mind sharp, try to:

Not everyone experiences joint pain as they get older. However, the risk of developing osteoartritis increases with age. Men tend to experience symptoms after the age of 45, and women after the age of 55. There is no cure, but you can slow down their development. At least one hour a week of exercise can help. Do flexibility training, strength training, and aerobics. If you just exercise, consult a doctor first.

Skin produces less oil as you get older. Skin can dry and dull, especially if you are over 40 years old. However, dry skin can also be caused by the things you do. To prevent this:

If your skin is still very dry and itchy, consult a dermatologist to get rid of possible medical problems.

This is increasingly common after you pass the age of 60. The skin is thinning and losing fat as you get older. Blood vessels are also becoming more fragile. Even some drugs can cause more bruises. Most bruises are harmless and will disappear by themselves. Meet your doctor if:

Feeling difficult climbing stairs is normal. However, if this often happens as you get older, it could be that you will find it difficult to do other daily activities. Maybe because you don't exercise regularly. If so, consult a doctor and add gradually up stairs to your routine. You can also experience pain or balance problems, or maybe because of medication. Meet a doctor to make sure there are no problems such as heart problems or heart problems.

Body fat tends to shift to the stomach as you get older. This is especially true for women after menopause. Whatever your age, thick waist circumference can be associated with health problems such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The risk increases when the waist circumference is more than 35 inches (90 cm) for women, or more than 40 inches (100 cm) for men. Regular exercise and healthy diet are the best way to keep the waist circumference ideal.

You may feel that your hands have to work harder to open the jar, or the handle on the steering wheel isn't as strong as it used to be. Your grip strength usually begins to decline in the 50s. You can maintain your hand strength by playing clay, squeezing the ball stressed, or squeezing water from the wash. If you lose your hand strength early or suddenly, it can be a sign of joint inflammation, nerve damage, or other health problems.

After reaching your 40s, you will likely have difficulty seeing objects up close, such as reading menus. This condition is called presbiopia. Sometimes, aging brings more serious problems such as glaukuma, cataracts, and macular degeneracy. To reduce your risk:

Haid usually becomes less regular in the late 30s or early 40s. That's the permenopause, the period leading up to the menopause. Your body produces fewer estrogens. That is, your menstruation may be milder and shorter, or less rare. Consult with a doctor if your menstruation suddenly feels very different or hurts, especially in your 30s. This could be a sign of an early menopause.
