3. Less sleeping
We love to sleep, but it takes sooo much time! While children still need up to 13 hours of sleep, the need for sleep decreases with age. The reason for this? During the development of our body, but also the maturation of the brain, we need a lot of energy and regeneration time. That’s why teenagers should get up to 10 hours of sleep a night. In old age, 7 hours are easily enough to feel well rested – what a time saver!
Also exciting: Our body needs these nutrients from the age of 30 >>
4. We are more relaxed
Everyone knows it – children don’t go from one room to another, they run. Sitting on the couch and just looking at a book? Rarely! It’s hopping, jumping, whizzing. The younger we are, the more pent-up energy we have. This is not only the case with us humans, but also with animals – for example with dogs or cats, which are much more playful as young animals.
Of course it’s great to be full of energy and drive! However, such a portion of serenity is somehow also very pleasant and above all a good thing for the mind. You get nervous less quickly, are less jittery, become much more patient and can concentrate longer. The older we are, the less we allow ourselves to be stressed – which also has a lot of healthy effects on our bodies. If you still pay attention to sufficient healthy exercise in the fresh air, you are doing everything right now.
