10个迹象表明你比实际年龄要老

1. You have hair loss

1.掉头发

Seeing a little (or a lot) of scalp peeking through your hairline is a well-known sign of aging. If you’re younger and you notice things getting a little sparse on your arms, legs or other places, it can indicate your body is aging faster than you think.

发际线能看到一点头皮就是衰老的明显迹象，如果你年纪还小就发现胳膊、腿或其他部位的体毛减少了，就意味着你的身体比想象得衰老得要快。

2. You can’t lift the 30-pound bag of dog food into your cart

2.不能把30磅的狗粮抬进车里

Muscle strength is directly correlated to how you age, since you actually lose muscle mass the older you get, making you progressively weaker.

肌肉力量直接关系到你的衰老速度，因为随着年龄增长肌肉质量的确会下降，使你越来越虚弱。

3. Bruises take forever to heal

3.擦伤很久才好

If your skin isn’t recovering well, something is definitely going awry in the internal aging systems.

如果你的皮肤恢复得不好，那一定是你内在的老化系统出问题了。

4. You’ve got more wrinkles than your best friend

4.你的皱纹比最好的朋友多

A telltale sign of aging is wrinkles and sagging skin, and the rate at which you get them can indicate you are aging faster than you should be for your age.

最能说明衰老的迹象就是皱纹和松弛的皮肤，皮肤出现这些问题的速度能显示你衰老得比正常速度要快。

5. You make excuses to not to go out with your friends

5.你找借口不跟朋友出去

A big sign a patient isn’t aging well is when they no longer enjoy doing the things they always loved to do.

一个病人衰老过快的迹象就是不再喜欢他们一直喜欢做的事了。

6. You can’t open the jar anymore

6.打不开罐子

Studies have shown that poor hand grip strength is linked to age-related decline. It indicates a loss of both muscle and strength. Plus a weak grip may also be an indicator that your brain is aging faster.

研究表明手的握力不够与衰老有关。握力不够表明你的肌肉和力量都衰退了，而且握力不好也表明你的大脑衰老过快。

7. Your favorite pants are tight in the waist but loose in the legs

7.你最喜欢的裤子裤腰紧但裤腿松

Gaining fat around your midsection is a common sign your body is aging quickly.

上腹部脂肪堆积通常是身体快速衰老的迹象。

8. You’re burning through giant bottles of lotion

8.用光大瓶的乳液

Is your skin chronically dry and flaky? That could be a sign of premature aging.

你的皮肤长期干燥起皮吗？那可能是提前衰老的标志。

9. You sleep like a baby—fitfully, with frequent wakings, and not through the night

9.睡觉像婴儿——断断续续经常醒，不睡整宿觉

Insomnia or problems getting a good night’s sleep can be a sign your body is aging quickly. Often this is due to high levels of cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. Too much cortisol not only ages you faster but can promote weight gain, lower your immune function, and can lead to many chronic diseases.

失眠或晚上睡不好表明身体衰老过快，通常是因为皮质醇也叫应激激素过高。皮质醇过多不仅会加快衰老，而且会增重、降低免疫功能并导致很多慢性病。

10. Your face looks sunken or gaunt

10.脸看起来凹陷了或憔悴

When you lose bone mass in your face, it gives you that characteristic “elderly” profile with sunken cheeks, thin lips, and prominent temples.

脸上骨量减少就使你产生一些典型的“老年”面部特征：脸颊凹陷、嘴唇薄、太阳穴突出。
