Satu quote yang famous. Nabi Muhammad SAW pun diangkat menjadi Nabi, iaitu pada umur 40 tahun. Ia adalah satu titik perubahan dalam hidup.
Dari sudut kesihatan, ingin saya quote dari satu rencana luar negara.
EYES
Start ageing at 40
Glasses are the norm for many over-40s as failing eyesight kicks in – usually long-sightedness, affecting our ability to see objects up close.
As we age, the eye’s ability to focus deteriorates because the eyes’ muscles become weaker, says Andrew Lotery, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Southampton.
HEART
– Starts ageing at 40
The heart pumps blood less effectively around the body as we get older.
This is because blood vessels become less elastic, while arteries can harden or become blocked because of fatty deposits forming on the coronary arteries – caused by eating too much saturated fat.
The blood supply to the heart is then reduced, resulting in painful angina. Men over 45 and women over 55 are at greater risk of a heart attack.
TEETH
Start ageing at 40
As we age, we produce less saliva, which washes away bacteria, so teeth and gums are more vulnerable to decay. Receding gums – when tissue is lost from gums around the teeth – is common in adults over 40.
