Signs you are aging prematurely even without wrinkles

A person’s reaction time slows down as they age. Try this test with a 40cm long ruler. Have someone hold the ruler and release it without warning, and try to catch it as quickly as possible. Repeat the test at least 3 times, marking each time and counting the final result.

People in their 20s and 30s should be able to grasp the ruler at 25cm. People in their 40s and 50s should be able to grasp the ruler at 40cm. If you can't grasp it, it means the aging process is accelerating in your body.

One of the most obvious signs of premature aging is the appearance of wounds and bruises on the body. If you are prone to injuries and bruises that take a long time to heal, you are likely aging very quickly. The human skin has an amazing ability to regenerate. When this process does not work properly, it means that the body is in trouble.

Loss of ability to carry heavy objects is also a sign of aging. If you find it difficult to carry a 20-liter water bottle from one place to another as before, it is a sign of the fact that you are aging. Muscle tissues lose their mass with age and this affects your strength and endurance.

We know that eyesight gets worse with age. People over 40 begin to experience presbyopia, a loss of the ability to focus clearly on close objects. Some people even need to wear reading glasses.

Do your favorite jeans feel too tight around the waist and thighs? There is reason to worry, as excess weight around the waist is a telltale sign of aging.

Physical imbalance is partly a sign of aging. Test it by standing on one leg. The average 30-year-old without any serious vestibular problems should be able to stand for 20 seconds or longer.

It's not just forehead wrinkles that give away your age. Even if your forehead is completely flat, it can be the result of fatty tissue atrophy. This causes the forehead to lose its shape when it might otherwise be quite smooth and wrinkle-free.
