How Does Aging Affect Your Health, and Can You Reverse It?

This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. This is very common nowadays, many people seem to look older than their actual age? Diabetics often experience this accelerated aging, and there are clear reasons behind it.

To understand the aging, you should understand, Chronological Age, based on the number of years you’ve lived, And Biological Age, how well your organs and tissues are functioning right now.

For Diabetics, Aging Speeds Up For 5 Key Reasons

High BSL- High blood sugar speeds up aging by creating harmful compounds called AGEs. These cause skin wrinkling by damaging proteins and fats in the body.

High insulin levels- High insulin levels in type 2 diabetics can have devastating consequences, as they cause cells to absorb not only sugar but also excess water and fat, triggering oxidative stress and the formation of free radicals that can damage your heart and compromise brain function.

Oxidative stress- When high blood sugar and insulin flood your body with sugar and fat, it depletes antioxidants, leading to oxidative stress and inflammation. This speeds up aging and wears you down.

Metaflammation- The cumulative effect of the above changes over time leads to a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation known as metaflammation.

Cellular Senescence- All the previous factors lead to something called cellular senescence, where cells stop dividing and working as they should, speeding up aging. In type 2 diabetes, stress from high blood sugar causes early aging of cells, shown by higher levels of a marker called p16.

Now lets understand How to Reverse the Aging Process?

How to Reverse the Aging Process?

Go for Proper diet- Start a plant-based diet helps make the body more alkaline, reducing acidity and inflammation.

Practice Intermittent Fasting- You have to start intermittent fasting. Switching between eating and fasting triggers healing and repair processes in the body. These actions can help slow down or even reverse the aging process. Research shows that intermittent fasting can improve lifespan and health markers.

Chronic Stress- Various forms of stress, whether from relationships, work, or finances, can accelerate the aging process.

Mindset- As the body ages, the mind often begins to internalize the idea of getting older, which can further accelerate aging. This belief alone can be a significant factor in rapid aging. It’s important to think and feel young.

Somehow the whole “baby ghost” thing gets out about Phantom, and suddenly tons of people are trying to treat him like a little kid.

And Danny fucking hates it.

He’s a teenager! As far as he’s concerned, that means he’s basically almost an adult!

If people don’t stop looking down on him and denying his autonomy, he might just end up killing someone. Maybe then they’d finally fucking listen.

Magic Expert: A person's magic shares similarities with the user

Bruce: What does that mean?

Magic Expert: Yours is incredibly unstable, destructive, indecipherable, and possesses great darkness

Bruce: ...

Bruce: So.... I should stay away from magic?

Magic Expert: Yes, you should stay away from magic

19 year-old Bruce, hand hovering above the ancient incantation bowl in the League of Assassins armory, not realizing it had started glowing: "...you know what?"

Ra's, wide-eyed, sweating bullets since the bowl started glowing because he knows what that Means: "ah...what?"

Bruce, removing his hand from above the bowl and grabbing an escrima stick: "I think I want to try this instead."

Ra's, bathed in relief so pure it could power a thousand suns: "....ah, yes. much better....suited, to your temperament."

i wish bioware had not somehow regressed with their female characters. none of the veilguard female companions have a strong personality. they're all kind, soft, never overconfident or angry or abrasive, never have any unexpected hidden agendas, have no moral lines that they'll ever get angry with the pc about or leave the party for. and all extremely conventionally attractive and feminine. in 2024... not even a single woman can have like. mildly short hair? bleak 💀

even morrigan is now nice and polite? somehow flemythal reconciled with her offscreen and proved herself to be an Okay Mom™ rather than someone that morrigan hated and feared and spent years hiding from? flemythal gave up on all that stuff about revenge and betrayal and reckoning or whatever, and is now just another hapless victim of solas' schemes? mythal(2) doesn't want revenge either and is basically just there to manage solas' emotions? mythal(1) also having vallaslin and presumably slaves, despite being the "best of the evanuris" is never mentioned? NONE of these various iterations of mythal ever show autonomy in terms of doing anything unrelated to solas? isabela cares about cultural appropriation in the exact same way a modern liberal would, despite being a pirate whose main incentive is profit? her outfit is now even more sexualized, but this time in a grossly stereotypical bellydancer costume way? AUGH.

are women only allowed to look unconventional or be rude or morally murky, only if they're either minor characters, or one-note enemies with no chance at dialogue with them during their quests? andraste didn't die for this. bioware had better women characters way back in the kotor 1 era, by the incredibly low bar of "can they be rude or weird looking and still shown as sympathetic and interesting people". that bar is literally on the floor and they dug under it!

i guess it's not technically(?) sexist bc they did also make everyone else incredibly soft and mild too, but oh my god. if this is what's coming out of Progressive™ AAA companies we're in a really cringe fail cultural moment. it does not spark joy💀

Hi! I'm still feral for these two, would you mind giving us some art of them in their later years together!?

Hello angel!!!!

Sorry it’s taken so long to respond🫶🫶 but I wanted to draw some new art for this ask💓

We have: Sebastian and Eloise trying out their new fancy camera with a selfie, pictures of them with their daughter, and finally…idk I just always felt like this drawing is when they’re a bit older💓

I want to take this ask as an opportunity as well to talk a little about how I imagine their future (I have no chill & you can ignore this and just enjoy the art if you want😇).

I am a COMPLETE pantser - I never know how a chapter’s going to end when I start writing it (I always just have a few scenes I know I need to include to keep the plot moving forward). Although I have different *big* scenes I’m always writing towards, and themes/plot elements I’m always foreshadowing (shout out to @elliecutte for catching *almost* all of my hints and appreciating my general no chill😆), IM STILL NOT 100% SURE HOW I WILL END THINGS !!! 😳 I have a lot of endings I see as possible, and I think soon it will become more clear to me what will work the best💓

HAPPY ENDING:

Eloise and Sebastian become Unspeakables. I have a LOT of thoughts on this profession that could be its OWN post, and I feel like Unspeakables are generally specialized in one or two departments, but as their interests/research change they also change.

Eloise becomes an Unspeakable in the Mind and Death departments, with the occasional foray into Time. Her ancient magic is connected with all of these things (my version of AM is NOT like the game) & the Department of Mysteries is one of the only places that gives her any useful information about these things. Plus she thinks too much (it IS her hobby after all😆💓) and is very introverted so a hermit job like this is a perfect fit.

Sebastian becomes an Unspeakable as well, but I feel like it takes him a long time to specialize in anything, if he ever does. I just feel like becoming an Unspeakable is the adult equivalent of sneaking into the Restricted Section🥹🫶

They grow old together (I won’t explain TOO much) & have a lovely little family🥹 at least one daughter that they both dote on. Sebastian had an amazing childhood (idyllic until it wasn’t), and wants to give his daughter the same, and Eloise works hard to make sure their daughter feels the love that she never had growing up🥺

When Sirius is burned off the family tree, Eloise and Sebastian take him in🥹🫶 (they’re like 100 years old but WIZARDS LIVE LONGER…) The same happened to her all those years ago, and she wants him to know that his whole family hasn’t abandoned him.

Eloise LOVED her nieces - Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa - when they were younger, but as Voldemort becomes more powerful & people realize WHAT he’s doing, she has to separate herself from them. Her heart breaks seeing Bellatrix go mad, and seeing Narcissa engaged to a Malfoy out of obligation😔 (iykyk)

I haven’t thought any more about happy ending but I think it’s fun to think about how their future story might weave in with the actual canon events, ESPECIALLY since Eloise is a Black🥹💓

SAD ENDING:

After Sebastian gets his hands on Slytherin’s relic, it really starts to consume him and makes him even MORE obsessive than his natural tendencies - I imagine it similarly “talking” to him like Slytherin’s locket/horcrux did in Deathly Hallows (😳)

Eloise is deathly afraid of the changes she’s seeing in Sebastian and steals it from him (he would never willingly give it to her ESPECIALLY if it starts to feel like a precious item to him)

BUT the relic triggers the latent Black Family Madness in her - the madness that afflicts almost every woman in her family since…🤭 - and she herself starts to lose touch with reality. Her body and soul are already destroying themselves between the curse and the ancient magic inside of her, and the relic is what triggers it in her.

Sebastian becomes an Unspeakable, focusing on the Mind, in a desperate attempt to find a cure for his Eloise🥺

He never gives up his research, and sometimes when he comes home she is lucid and they talk about his research - otherwise, he just loves and takes care of her.

(He’s never successful in finding a way to reverse what he feels he caused in the first place - his ambition and single-mindedness is, to him, the reason why all of this happened)

Honestly who knows if I end their story either of these ways😌 I just love thinking of AUs and different endings and I have a few others I’ve considered as well!!! And whatever endings I don’t write will be immortalized on this blog and in my art as well🙏

So I just woke up and saw this

Headcanon that when they’re all in civvies, Bruce still takes his kids’ hands when crossing the road.

Rook: So, how's the sweater coming along?

Lucanis: Every time I start one, it either dissappears or keeps getting destroyed. I'm running out of yarn at this point.

Rook: That’s really weird.

Lucanis: I know. Maybe this project is just cursed.

Rook: It’s alright, I can just buy a new one. Don’t feel so bad.

Lucanis: At least let me pay for it.
