 One good telltale of our real age is our mental capacity. We expect that as we become grandmas and grandpas, our intellectual performance can never be the same with its prime years. But why does this happen? And what can we do to avoid thinking like we are old-aged already?
The Aging Process
Our neurons are non-regenerative. That means they do not divide to reproduce more of its kind. Once they die, they can't be replaced with another one. As we age, these brain cells of ours start to reduce in size and in number. This reduces our ability to call to mind some things that we have learned, including those in school, and even those details when we were younger.
A neurotransmitter called acetylcholine also declines as we age. This neurotransmitter is directly involved in memory and conveying of messages from a cell to another one. Moreover, because of the stresses that we have, the hippocampus, our memory bank, diminish in function.
As we get old also, we develop plaques and tangles that accumulate between and within neurons, respectively. |

 Affordable health insurance is almost a requirement these days, but forty million Americans are entirely uninsured. Ten million of these people are young singles, but the rest have families to worry about. It used to be possibly to rely on your employer to provide an affordable group insurance plan, but those days have passed. With cost-cutting on the rise, many employers are reducing or dropping their benefits plans entirely. Because premiums for individual plans are rising, it can be hard to find insurance you can pay for, whether for yourself or for your family. Many states have laws that mandate affordable insurance for children, but adults who are unable to buy into pricey plans are left without any ability to get insurance.
Especially if you are self-employed, or retire early, insurance can seem like a far off luxury, but if an accident or unexpected illness occurs, it is a necessity. Hospital bills and tests can run up tens of thousands of dollars in debt. The primary cause of personal bankruptcy declarations in the country is debt from medical expenses.
