With age, all people and animals living on our planet are slowing down, both literally and figuratively.
The functionality of the brain is slowing daily, especially in the elderly. The processes of thinking, in general, are getting worse day by day, month by month, year by year. As far as I remember, the process of aging becomes since we are 25 years old. What is worse, our bodies’ moves are also slowing down. When we are older, we must strive and keep fighting for more and more vital energy to live. It costs us a lot of effort. Speaking shortly: while getting older, we must fight with ourselves for better health.
But, in today’s post, I did not want to write about humans.
The last time I read that our planet, Earth, will slow down so much, rotate notably slowly on its own axis. The fact is that Earth rotates about 1,5 to 2 milliseconds slower per day per century. What does it mean for our planet? It means that, ultimately, one side of Earth will continuously face the sun. It will reach a state known as tidal locking. In this case, one side of our celestial home will be in constant sunlight. The other, totally dark side of Earth would lie in eternal ice. The sun-lighted part of Earth, undoubtedly, would become a desert. We can observe a similar astronomic occurrence by watching only one side of the Moon.
This is the future of our planet, no matter what we will do.
It means that not only living creatures in our celestial home are slowing down in their lives, but also Earth is slowing down. Is that mean that we should do not care about environmental problems? No. When Earth becomes the dual, hot-cold, light-dark hot planet, there won’t be humans anymore, probably. Thus, we should care about both environment and ourselves.
Regarding the latter, I recommend you, my Dear Friend, not only doing sports, creating art, and giving up drinking alcohol and eating sugar. To slower the process of aging, I would suggest you also intermittent fasting.
