Anti aging is an interesting word. It generally applies to products that are designed to reverse sun damage on the face and prevent the loss of collagen which produces wrinkles. Advertising can sneak into our lives and we start to think that if we can keep ourselves looking and feeling younger, we don’t have to deal with the issues that go along with getting older.
Why is this important? Believe it or not your health is partly determined by your chronological age, not the age of the face that you see in the mirror. While you might not have the body of a woman over 40 after liposuction, you do have the heart of a woman over 40. The best skin care can strip years of sun damage right off your face but can’t replace the need for annual breast exams, as well as other annual health check ups.
While a good muscle workout routine can tone up your body to be as incredible as it was in your twenties, you still need annual screenings. It is an accurate argument that a well toned, cared for body is in much better shape that one that is twice the weight at half the age. Perhaps, but breast cancer is an equal opportunity striking force. It doesn’t care how old you look or feel.
Scientific advancement has done a lot to help us improve the quality of our lives. It has also helped to save our lives when we take the time to get our annual check ups. A mammogram has saved countless of women between the age of 40 and 60. Survival rates for early detection of 80% better than late detection victims.
It’s cool to be cool. You’re hanging out with the under 40 crowd and you fit in physically and socially. It can actually help you forget your own age as you plunder forward into a life that may even be healthier as well as more fun than when you were younger. You just can’t forget that the inside is still affected by age.
While it is an amazing act of science that we can abuse our faces in our twenties and then erase sun spots, wrinkles, and even tone in our thirties and forties. Scientific achievement now also increases the survival rate of breast cancer through early detection, but other cancer and late onset diseases as well.
Youth is in our blood. We all want it. And if we want to hang onto it we have to remember to go to annual screenings and check ups.
