 * My Myth -** **Its all Down Hill After 40**
 * Assignment #7﻿**


 * Research** :Through mu research i found that as you reach closer and closer to 40 your body basically starts to break down and things dont function like they used to, that including the brain as well as other organs and even your senses arent as sharp. I also learned that researchers have broke down the ages and plugged in achievement that youll make through the age durations which is pretty interesting.I feel like they are looking more into the negative side of aging ,because in a perfect world you'd be close to retirement and settled in life comfortable. In my eyes this is hopfully the age that you'd have sent your kids through college and be planning on a vaction in the very neat future.

//**Fun Facts**// //**﻿**// -//Your brain starts shrinking at 25. Your handshake starts going soft at 30. At 40, your memory starts to slip// //-//As people get older, their ideal age gets higher. For 18- to 24-year-olds, it’s age 27; for 25- to 29-year-olds, it’s 31; for 40- to 49-year-olds, it’s 40; and for people over 64, it’s 59. -Your strength and coordination peak at 19. Your body is the most flexible until age 20; after that, joint function steadily declines. -Everyone has talents at 25 the goal is to have those same talents at 50 -Your IQ is highest between ages 18 and 25. Once your brain peaks in size—at age 25—it starts shrinking, losing weight, and filling with fluid. -As you age, your responses to stimuli of all kinds become slower and more inaccurate, especially in more complex tasks. From ages 20 to 60, your reaction time to noise slows 20 percent. -At 60, you make more errors in verbal learning tasks. Given a list of 24 words, an average 20-year-old remembers 14 of the words, a 40-year-old remembers 11, a 60-year-old remembers nine, and a 70-year-old remembers seven. -By age 35, nearly everyone shows some of the signs of aging, such as graying hair, wrinkles, less strength, less speed, stiffening in the walls of the central arteries, degeneration of the heart’s blood vessels, diminished blood supply to the brain, elevated blood pressure. //﻿// []
