Welcome to Build-a-Body workshop!
When making a human, you have to remember to stuff it with blood or it doesn't work.
Give it the ability to remember every lyric from Paramore's After Laughter album, but
not how to do basic math.
Give it ADHD and we’ll throw in anxiety AND depression at no extra charge!
Now just add the heart, which is a little defective, and voila, you have a human named
Pat!
PAT: How to make friends at 30 years old?
I can't?
BLOCKO: But what happens as Pat ages?
Let's see how things change as you humans get older!
Hey there!
Welcome to Life Noggin.
Check out the GLEAM contest link in the description for a chance to be turned into a life noggin
character.
After a couple of decades of growth and development, you humans reach your maximum amount of bone
and muscle mass.
Your 20s are also the time when your brain finishes developing, menstruation becomes
more regular, you may acquire adult acne, and you have the highest chance of developing
immune system disorders like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
In your 30s and 40s, things start to decline.
You lose bone mass – which can make you shorter and more susceptible to injuries.
You start losing muscles and getting weaker, a condition called sarcopenia.
Your skin loses elasticity–causing sagging and wrinkles; your hair may turn gray; and
you may develop vision and hearing problems.,, And drops in testosterone and estrogen levels
can cause erectile dysfunction and symptoms of menopause.
Your body’s NAD+ levels, which play a key role in mitochondrial health, metabolism,
and aging start to decline significantly.
PAT: I should've eaten my vegetables!
Blocko: I don't remember learning any of this in health class.
This is also the time when you may start gaining weight, which could increase your risk for
diabetes or heart disease.
In fact, the 40s are when men are most likely to develop heart disease.
By the time you’ve reached middle age, your NAD+ levels are half that compared to when
you were 20, and this can play a role in fat accumulation and worsening mitochondrial health.
For women, the risk for heart disease is highest after reaching menopause, when your periods
stop, which typically occurs between 45 and 55.
Once you enter your 60s, your body is done making T cells, which are an important part
of your immune system.
This means you become more susceptible to disease, it takes longer to recover from them,
and vaccines don’t work as well.
You’re also more likely to be diagnosed with cancer, as half of all cancer cases occur
after 66.
And this is about the time when the nerve impulses in your brain slow down, leading
to a decline in some mental abilities, like memory., But the real cognitive decline happens
in your 70s and 80s.
While symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease can begin as early as your 60s, 33% of the population
over 85 have Alzheimers disease.
The 70s and 80s is also when most people die from heart disease.
By the time you’re 80, you will have lost as much as 50% of your muscles compared to
when you were 20.
And speaking about death, the average life expectancy varies widely across the globe
depending on the health status of each countries’ population, with a low of 53 and a high of
nearly 85.
While aging is inevitable for you humans, the best way to prepare for these changes
and avoid major health issues is to eat well, get enough sleep, stay active and social,
and see your doctor regularly.
No, searching your symptoms on google doesn’t count!
PAT: Heart is making weird noise
OH GOD!
So what issues are you going through at your age!
You don't have to say your exact age in the comments.
If you’re comfortable with sharing, let me know in the comments!
Maybe you’ll get some people relating to your struggles!
Your body needs all the help it can get when it comes to combating aging.

have to be!
