When women begin to age, there are generally 5 signs in the lower body! If you don't have any, it means you are still young

"Doctor, I feel like something is wrong with my body recently, especially my lower body. Is it starting to age?" Ms. Wang frowned and said anxiously. I smiled and told her not to worry and to tell me the details slowly. Ms. Wang said worriedly, "I found that my knees hurt when I walked for a long time recently, and the skin on my legs became loose and not as tight as before." Looking at Ms. Wang's anxious look, I could feel her worry and uneasiness about the changes in her body.

1. The “flare” of aging

Knee pain

As we age, the articular cartilage gradually wears away and the synovial fluid decreases, which can easily lead to knee pain.

Ms. Wang asked me in confusion:

"Doctor, is there no cure for my knee pain?"

I comforted her:

"Don't worry too much, as long as you pay attention to maintenance, proper exercise, and nutritional supplements, it can still be alleviated.

For example, you can eat more foods rich in calcium and collagen, such as milk, soy products, pig's trotters, etc.

In terms of exercise, you can choose some activities that put less pressure on the knee joints, such as Tai Chi, swimming, and cycling. "

Relaxed leg muscles

When we are young, our leg muscles are firm and elastic, but as we age, they gradually become loose.

It's like a tight balloon slowly letting the air out.

For example, the sagging skin on the legs mentioned by Ms. Wang is one of the signs that muscles are beginning to age.

I said to Ms. Wang:

"This situation can be improved through some targeted exercises, such as squats, tiptoeing and other movements. Doing a few sets every day can effectively enhance leg muscle strength."

Ms. Wang nodded thoughtfully after listening to this.

Urinary incontinence

As women age, their pelvic floor muscles become loose and they may experience urinary incontinence.

Ms. Wang said to me embarrassedly:

"Doctor, I have been leaking urine when I laugh or cough recently. It's so embarrassing."

I patiently explained to her:

“This is a common aging phenomenon that can be improved by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.

For example, doing Kegel exercises every day can help. ”

Buttock sagging

The originally round and perky buttocks will sag due to the loss of collagen and muscle relaxation.

Ms. Wang complained:

"I used to look good in pants and skirts, but now my hips feel shapeless."

I told her:

"You can do more hip training exercises, like hip bridges, and stick to it for a while, and you'll see some improvement."

Increased foot problems

For example, heel pain, toe deformity, etc.

Just like shoes will become deformed after being worn for a long time, feet will also develop problems due to the wear and tear of time.

Ms. Wang said distressedly:

"Doctor, my feet have been uncomfortable lately. My heels hurt when I walk a lot."

I explained:

"This is also a sign of aging. You should choose comfortable shoes and pay attention to rest and care for your feet."

2. The “black hand” behind aging

Decreased estrogen levels

After women enter menopause, estrogen secretion decreases, which accelerates the aging process of the body.

Estrogen plays an important role in maintaining the normal functions of the female body and the elasticity of the skin.

Lack of exercise

Long-term sitting and lack of exercise can lead to decreased muscle strength and poor blood circulation.

Just as a machine will rust if it is not used for a long time, the body will become "sluggish" due to long-term lack of exercise.

Malnutrition

An unbalanced diet lacking in nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals can also affect the body's normal functions.

Without sufficient "nutrients" supply, the various organs and tissues of the body will gradually age.

Overwork and stress

Long-term physical and mental fatigue will put the body in a sub-healthy state and accelerate aging.

Modern women often face the dual pressures of work and family. If they cannot adjust reasonably, aging will easily come to them prematurely.

3. The “Secret” to Fight Aging

Moderate exercise

You can choose to do some exercise such as swimming, yoga, jogging, etc. to strengthen the muscles of your legs and buttocks.

I said to Ms. Wang:

“Take half an hour to exercise every day and stick to it, and you will be surprised.

Moreover, exercise can not only improve physical condition, but also make you feel better. "

Eat a balanced diet

Eat more foods rich in collagen, vitamins and minerals, such as pig's trotters, fruits, vegetables, etc.

Ensure comprehensive and balanced nutrition to provide the body with sufficient "energy".

Keep a positive attitude

Learn to release stress and keep a happy mood. When you are troubled, don't always keep it to yourself. You can talk to your friends or relax in your favorite way, such as listening to music, reading, traveling, etc.

Regular medical check-ups

Discover potential problems in the body in a timely manner and conduct intervention treatment.

A physical examination is like an "annual checkup" for your body, which can detect and treat diseases early and nip the disease in the bud.

4. Take care of yourself and embrace youth

After a period of adjustment, Ms. Wang came to the clinic again with a smile on her face.

She said happily:

"Doctor, following your instructions really worked. I feel much better now."

Seeing the changes in Ms. Wang, I feel sincerely gratified.

In fact, every woman will experience aging, but as long as we take good care of our bodies, we can slow down the pace of aging and let the light of youth stay on our bodies longer. I hope every female friend can pay attention to the changes in their bodies. When you find these signs of aging, don't panic, but respond positively. Remember, health and beauty are in your own hands. In short, let us welcome the baptism of time with a positive attitude and show the unique charm of each age group.
