Fear of Getting Old

Wine is like human being when it stays in the shelf life over the years it starts to aged.

There are a lot of people who fear getting one year older when they reach 45. They feel unsatisfied when they haven't reach the goal they want to achieve to make their life better and complete.

The other day I was telling my friend turning 45 years old is nothing compared when you reach another decade in your life. When you reach half of one hundred people fear it more.

My friend said, I was mean. I was just giving my friend the facts that being 45 is nothing at all. Why worry so much. To me being 45 is still a young age. You are still young and still do things if you are active in your daily life.

If, you choose not to be active you will have a hard time as your body start to function differently.

During that age you have changed your diet the way you eat. You start to have other feelings inside your body.

Your life style start to change how you normally live when you we're in your 30's.

The age 50 becomes a hit in the head. Woman fear more when they reach 50 that is when menopause becomes an issue.

What happens when you aged and you reach the point in your life getting menopause? There are some people who get menopause at a very young age. The OB gynecological says, you reach menopause from the age 45 and 55 years old. What happens when you don't reach menopause during those two ages? What do they call it? They call it Peri menopause which you will feel signs to identify you are going through it:
  1. Hot flashes
  2. Breast tenderness
  3. Lower sex drive
  4. Fatigue
  5. Irregular periods
  6. Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
  7. Urine leakage when cough and sneezing
  8. Urinary urgency (an urgent need to urinate more frequently)
  9. Mood swings
  10. Trouble sleeping
To ease these symptoms you should do the following:

How long does menopause last? Once you haven't had your ministration and last up to one year you have already reached menopause.
