Women tend to gain weight in middle age, which is a normal sign of aging. As aging begins, the body's metabolism slows down and various bodily functions begin to deteriorate to varying degrees. So what are the signs of aging in women?
1. Skin around the eyes
Aging first starts with the skin around the eyes, which is determined by the structure of the skin. On one hand, the skin around the eyes is particularly thin, with a thickness of only about 0.4 millimeters, which is 1/5 to 1/3 of the thickness of skin in other parts of the body. On the other hand, the thin skin around the eyes contains very few elastic fibers and collagen, and with the movement of the eyes and the aging of the body, the loss of moisture, elastic fibers, and collagen in the skin naturally leads to the appearance of fine lines, spots, and other phenomena.
2. Fat around the waist
As the body ages, fat continues to accumulate, and the waist is a key area to determine if a woman has started aging. Weight loss is a popular topic, but when you find that your weight keeps increasing even though you haven't been eating more, or when you eat less but can't seem to lose weight anymore, these are signs of aging.
3. Sagging breasts
Breasts are one of the most vulnerable parts of a woman's body and are closely related to aging. While breasts bring happiness to women in terms of femininity, they are also subject to various risks. Currently, breast cancer has replaced cervical cancer as the number one malignant tumor that poses a threat to women's health and life.
Although aging is a natural phenomenon, the speed of aging varies from person to person. Some people are good at taking care of themselves, so their aging process is relatively slower, while others are unable to take care of themselves due to life pressures, resulting in the stark difference in appearance and vitality among people of the same age.
