Why Do Women Age Faster than Men?
Aging is an inevitable process. The pace of aging process is varied from individual to individual depending on their lifestyle and genetics. However, not only once, but often I hear that women age faster than men. Women tend to age faster but live longer than men. Well, I am not sure about the existence of scientific proof for this one, but here I compile a list of why do women age faster than men based on what I read on the web.
Many women suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS). PMS is a syndrome that occurs in many women during the last week before the onset of their monthly menstruation cycle. Women who suffer from PMS will develop physical symptoms such as abdominal bloating, headache and sore, tender breasts as well as mental symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, irritability and social withdrawal. It is generally believed that these sufferings made women aging faster.
The fact that women have to go through 9 months of pregnancy and eventually giving birth to their babies also makes women aging faster than men. Offspring reproduction is the mightiest of all human projects. Can you imagine the hardship of carrying babies around for 9 months? Plus, we men certainly are not able to bear the pain our mother and wife could bear during giving birth!
Some others say women age faster due to all of the stress and family responsibilities they have. They have to take care of their kids. They take life more seriously than men. This makes women to worry more while men take it all in their stride. Their lifestyle contributes to them aging faster than men.
Another reason why women tend to age faster than men is the fact that they mature earlier. Girls typically begin the process of puberty at the age of 10 while boy at the age of 12. Do you realize that most girls in your class are taller than you during lower secondary? In addition, by the age of 50, most women’s bodies have dried up biologically speaking. On contrary, men can still father children into his 70s and 80s. Generally speaking, it is just nature at work!
Not all women age faster than men of course. Some do, some do not! There are no absolutes! One’s aging process is still very much depending on your genetics and lifestyle.
