DEFACEING THE AGING BODY Human bodies are not well built, powerful, or immortal, in fact, they are predisposed to failure. Biological, cognitive and pathological forces knock on the door of survival every day, intensifying the power of evil. At first, these changes are welcomed as you mature, get stronger, and become smarter, but it's an illusion of what's in store. These transformations slowly rob a person of who he was and what he was capable of accomplishing. People in all types of societies try to avoid the progression of aging by any means necessary, but ultimately; bodies, minds and souls collapse. The fundamentals of biological aging are not determined by calendar years, but by what physical structures of the physique have been altered and by these variations in our previous selves; good and/or evil occur from the moment of conception and continue until death. Physical adjustments are obvious and undeniable as they are the first signs of aging that can be observed without medical training, they are common, expected and normal. Overall, older adults will experience thinning skin and wrinkles, gray hair; loss of teeth, impaired vision and hearing, taste and smell may change, and their height may no longer be what it once was. (Toussier) Not all older adults will encounter all aspects of aging, but the likelihood and likelihood of encountering at least one change is a sure shot. These changes are naturally genetic and in no way reduce a person's ability to live a productive, creative and fulfilling existence, but they can create "difficulty for older adults to manage their daily lives if they live alone and undergo treatment medical". half of the article ......and health problems: a qualitative study among older adults living alone.
