Can we really prevent aging?

hi, when we turn back the time,people can prevent aging physically with the used of natural herbs,but now that technology arise including those certain products preventing aging many people are now prefer to use it and many people are now using it to maintain and also to prevent aging physically.

I think we can't stop ageing. It's natural process. But we can slow it down by eating right food, exercise, have proper life style ( not so much stressful). But no matter what we will do we are not able to stop ageing process.

I personally think we can not prevent aging....that process started when we were born....once you are born you are prone to die[ grow old] every single day...that is the process of life! there is not potion or miracle it's life it self!

hi pogi, am being very optimistic here. there is going to be a time when a cure or medicine to fight wrinkles will be born. i mean you will never get those wrinkles ever if you use that medicine. but aging can not be stopped .. well, maybe, when the earth stops on its axis. but again i say, its not bad to age. as long as you plan ahead while you are still young. i dont mean you will not get those wrinkles and aches that most aged people get, but i mean you age gracefully. and then you have the savings to use for leisure, like travel, living comfortably, able to buy food and medicine. ann

HI POgi! When it get blended well in society there is no other way except following the trends. But I believe we can't prevent aging nor slowing it. We will get older and older because no matter how hard we makes the outside looks good we still can't deny the aging of your inner part. Like yes, perhaps we have a looks like we are 20s but we can't say that we have stamina and energy like people in 20s. The inside still get older too. But it is hard to avoid ourselves with the trends as people nowadays seems not familiar and getting used with the natural as for theie perception the fake looks is much better.. LOok everywhere around you and it is hard to find the original as everything seems plastic and fake.~(^^0)

Nobody can prevent aging no one, but we can slow it down. It was said that man in prehistoric times can live up to 500 years that is not proven though but I believe that man has live that long. Today the average life span of man is only 60 years. How come? We already know the answer, It's because of pollutions and our lifestyle as well.

Those creams and processes are just temporary. When you undergo surgery like botox, it obviously shows on their faces. Mostly of the old ladies who are undergoing that and they are really proud. BUt I am not against them, if that can really make them happy then we should support them. For all we know that is their body, their skin they are sabotaging in the future. Anyway, we cannot prevent aging. All human beings are getting old unless they die young. In our life, we all have different decision. If we do not want to look old, then use and trust those creams that promises a youthful skin. If it has a good results on you, then use it continously. If you are drinking something and you are getting thin, then continue drinking it. It is everyone's decision on how they want to treat themselves. However, not all treatments are effective, some are good at first but defective and has side effects in the long run. It can more than harm you than save you. So i decided to age gracefully. For practical sake, because I do not have money to buy those creams. i rather eat healthy foods, exercise, drink vitamins and always remember to not stress myself so that I aged gracefully.

Its never a bad idea to have good skin care as well as just plain taking care of yourself. Inside and out and mentally. There no way to prevent aging. Its just ludichrist how some people are about that. Ana1 really. Vainity is a waste of time and money.

We cannot prevent aging. We can prevent not doing it gracefully. There are some very good products on the market to help with aging gracefully. Taking care of ones skin and not letting it get too much sun is very important. Each person is different and will need different products.

We can use techniques to make us look younger than we really are but the best of them all is having a positive attitude in life. As we age our characters show in our face hence if we are full of deceit it is likewise reflected in our very faces. We can also make use of what medical and cosmetic science has to offer has long as you don't overdo it. With regards to using plastic surgery to make us look younger and better it depends on whether we have the money and if we have realistic expectations about the outcome of such procedures.I for one use day cream on my face and a different facial wash since I know that some body parts needs more than the usual care and attention that I usually give it since I'm in my 40s.

I have read an article in the Readers Digest my favorite all time magazine that i read since schooling days about ageing. We cant stop aging cause it is a process aligned with the universe but we can look much younger that our age. In the article from the readers digest stated that if we eat alot of fruits we can look ten years younger than our age. Do try it it works.

No matter what we do we are ageing. But there are some ways to prevent symptoms of ageing like wrinkles. I'm sure you know botox and pros and cons using it. Also we are young longer when we exercise and we lid healthy life style so no smoking and no fatty food. I'm sure our personality take major role in not ageing process. We use to say you are old if you feel that way!

No of course. There are many factors that cause aging first and the main factor is it is the law of nature and it's completely inevitable. As humans we cannot prevent aging but we can make ourselves young for a longer period of time if we change our life style. factors that contribute to our aging are: pollution,stress, foods that we eat, lack of exercise, our emotions(sad,hate,etc) and radiation [and many more]. As you can see pollution is one factor that we cannot virtually avoid. The foods we also eat is one factor, according to research foods that are rich in antioxidants are key to keep us young (ex. vitamin A, C, E, glutathione, etc.). The oxidation reaction creating free radicals are the one responsible in damaging or even killing or cells which leads to early aging and worst cancer. So in order to look young we must take care of our cells by eating antioxidant rich foods. At the same time radiation is also one factor and it's very obvious that it can't be avoided; sunlight, radiation in our personal devices tv,computer,cellphone and our environment as long as it produce heat it contributes to aging. I think scientist are now harnessing the potential of stem cells to slow down aging further. The stem is defined 'a cell that has the potential to regenerate tissue over a lifetime' let's do a little research about this shall we? I heard about stem cells way back 2004 when I was reading (scientific american or popular mechanics) a magazine about science and It's very interesting.

Aging cannot, can nevr and should never be prevented...you may look young with anti wrinkle creams, but you organs will react to your age. You may look young but loose strength due to you are faking.

What your saying has all to do with external characteristics.I feel if we eat in moderation the essential nutrients then we shall have a good physique.We should exercise the body in the form of physical exercise.The brain has to be kept active in challenging job or activity.Once these are fulfilled we shall age gradually.We should not allow stress of day to day life get to us.We should be young at heart though our body may age.

A lot of people dream of preventing aging since staying young is just a fantasy for most of us. I don't think we can prevent aging.. just yet. There are a lot of products indeed that can maintain our looks but I don't think these products can prevent aging in its full sense.

According to my sister who studied Biology, the feeling of aging is rather programmed by the society. I don't know how true it is, for I never went too deep into biological science. But I have seen many Asian ladies who are in their 70s, but look totally like they are just in their 30s. I suppose it has a lot to do with their beautiful skin that hardly goes through environmental damage. I feel that Asian people have the best skin. Also they are naturally thin. So it is not possible to understand whether they have grown old.

We cannot prevent aging. It will surely come as we age. However, we can retard it from affecting us. For four facial skin, we can use tretinoin cream to lessen or prevent wrinkles and stay away from the sun's rays. For our body we should eat lots of fish, vegetables and fruits which are said to be anti-oxidants. We could also take anti-oxidant vitamin such as Vitamin E. Most of all , we should always be mobile and have exercise. Lastly, stay happy and avoid worrying.

hi pogi253 i think we cannot prevent aging because as we all know every year we are getting older maybe in physical we can prevent because of cosmetics but age i think no.

We cant stop aging because its part of our nature, but we can slow it down by livng a healthy life.
