The Hindu reports:
Believe it or not, old age begins at 27, says researchers.
A new study has revealed that many well-known effects of ageing may start decades before the twilight years when old age is often blamed for causing many people to misplace keys, forget a word or lose the train of thought. In fact, according to the researchers, people’s mental abilities begin to decline from the age of 27 after reaching a peak at 22. |
Is that really what the researchers say?
If so, it’s dumb.
If old age begins at 27 and life expectancy is 72 (I picked that number out of my cranial thin air), we spend almost all our adult lives as old people. 😯
Oh hey! Look at that. Old age actually begins at 72, but the researchers were dyslexic! 🙄
Be that as it may, this is a good reminder of what the Creator had recorded in Ecclesiastes Psalm 90:12….
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” |
🙂 I love it! Especially the dyslexic part!
I am 32 and some days really DO feel like an old person.
Thanks for the article, I enjoyed it!
