Water is essential for survival. It is responsible for the life of our blood cells, for transporting nutrients throughout our body and for regulating our body temperature. Water also aids in digestion with the elimination of waste from our bodies and keeps joints lubricated, reducing your chance of developing an injury.

Hormone levels fluctuate with age, and this can cause an array of problematic symptoms to develop. Migraines are one of these symptoms, and while women suffer from chronic migraines at a significantly higher rate than men, they can affect either gender. Antiaging therapy can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by regulating hormone imbalance with treatments such as bioidentical hormone replacement, thus reducing the fluctuations that cause migraines to develop.

We often treat our minds and bodies as two separate entities. To keep our minds strong, we read, learn new things and do intellectually-stimulating activities like brain teasers. To keep our bodies strong, we hit the gym or head out for a jog. However, this detached thinking has a flaw. Your brain is a part of your body after all, and things like exercise can have a significant impact on how well it functions.

Stress can come from just about any avenue of your life. You might be stressed out from work, after an argument with a family member or even as a result of a particularly bad traffic jam. When stressors like these start to add up, your health may become impacted. Joint pain, gray hair, fatigue, trouble sleeping, weight gain, mood swings—these may sound like the symptoms of getting older, but they’re also the symptoms of a stressed-out lifestyle.

To live is to age; that is the long and short of it. You can try with all your might to avoid the aging process, but as long as you wake up and take a deep breath you are going to grow a bit older. This is something that we are easily reminded of here in Charlotte, a city that is rich in history. Every day as you wake up, drive to work and run errands you are traversing ground that was settled before the American Revolution. A city like Charlotte is something that grows with age. New buildings, new roads, new people—we are what keep our city alive. Our own aging process isn’t all that different.

Knee, ankle and hip pain might be a stereotypical symptom of age, but we don’t always see it coming. The reality is that many men and women start experiencing joint pain soon after the onset of menopause or andropause, and this could mean as early as their mid-forties.
