Aging in youth
When we hear doctors or friends say, "You're getting old, don't run or lift weights like you used to," it's like a death sentence we impose on ourselves.
The definition of aging is not "we are old after reaching a certain age, and young until we reach that age."
When do we actually become old?
We are young as long as we are growing.
When we stop growing, we are old.
It means that we are growing as long as we learn something new every day.
Our brain cells grow. When we exercise, our muscles grow.
The body becomes stronger.
So, we can only call a 75-year-old adult a young man whose brain and body grow.
Similarly, after the age of 30, our testosterone levels start to decline.
Therefore, it would be appropriate to call a 31-year-old who does not exercise an old man because his body and brain stop growing.
Therefore, youth and old age are determined by the strength of one's body and mind, not by years.
