3. Ageing is the accumulation of changes in a
person over time.
It can be due physical, psychological and
social changes.

5. Extrinsic
It happens due to external factors due to changes in
the environment or sun exposure.
Intrinsic
It is a natural ageing process.
Begins in our mid 20s

7. Life span is ultimately determined by the fact that cells can only replicate a
certain number of times.
Although researchers believe human should live more than 120 years, average
life span is around is 70 years.
WHY IS THIS???
Cells attacked by Free Radicals that damage brain cells.
Lack of Vitamin E , C and Selenium which is used under stress.
Creation of toxins .
Additionally, 75% of Americans are not getting enough free radical fighting
antioxidants, such as vitamin E, selenium or even vitamin C. These are quickly used up
under stress, while neurological imbalances further accelerate aging
8. Human survives because cells duplicate and
get replaced.
In replication process, errors accumulate so
vital DNA code is not copied in the same way.
Due to this problems with our cells, we get
old and we die.
9. This is a paper repeatedly copied in copy machine. Every time the paper is subject to
an error, the final paper accumulates all those errors, so the actual data is not copied.

11. Skin
Intrinsic Aging:
Within the skin, collagen production slows. Dead skin cells do
not shed as quickly and turnover of new skin cells may
decrease.
SIGNS
Hollowed cheeks and Loss of firmness on the hands and neck
Bones shrink away causing sagging skin
Dry skin causing itchiness
Inability to sweat
Graying hair
Extrinsic Aging:
A number of extrinsic, or external, factors often act together
with the normal aging process to prematurely age our skin. Due
to
- Sun exposure
- Repetitive facial expressions
- sleeping positions, smoking
12. Nervous System (Physical)
Stroke
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain in which clusters of nerve cells (or neurones)
send off abnormal electrical signals.
Nervous system (mental)
Depression
Dementia
Alzheimer’s
Causes
Low levels of Vitamin C and E
Free radicals that damage cells
Nutritional deficiencies
13.
14. Vitamin E can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by as
much as 25%
• Eat Fruits and Vegetables,
• Chocolate, Red wine
Avoid alcohol, cigarettes
Protecting your skin from the sun
15. Brain Games ( Mental anti- ageing)
A number of herbs are highly prized and renowned for their
anti-aging and longevity-promoting effects.eg-Valerian root
improves sleep patterns when taken as bedtime.
