THE BENEFITS OF GETTING OLDER

This new is all about getting old. It starts of with saying that more 800 million people are in their years of “ageing”.
From all the problems that ageing can have it also has a positive side.
People have different opinions about when ageing starts.The poet Dante believed that it starts at 45. The british public thinks you start ageing around 59. But scientist say it’s after 60.
The first good thing that old peolpe have is that they get less colds and most of  the immune sytem gets stronger.
Mitchell Grayson also says that the older you get (past the 50s -60s) the more immune to allergies you are.
As many people know, they also get smarter in vocabulary, spatial orientation, verbal memory, and problem solving abilities.
Surprisingly, they can also have better sex. Women in their 80s can still reach orgasms and 74% of men and 70% of women reported a greater sexual satisfaction than when they were in their 40s.
They also can get fewer migraines. A study that involved 374 people, only 4 got chronic headaches.
Another thing is that they sweat less then people in their 20s.
Finally, people in their 25s can live up to 84 (women) or 80 (men), while a 95 year-old could expect to see their 98th (women) or 97th (men) birthday. Even at 80, women have a 95% chance of living another year.

MY OPINION:

I think that doing this type of articles is a good idea because everybody thinks that in the old age is all bad and with this articles the poeple see that no everything is bad. I have learnt a lot of things with this article.
I used to think that the elderly age is a bad age, because it's boring, you don't have energy, all time you are tired... But now I see that not everything is bad when you are old, also have good things!
