The process of ageing

So henceforth, there shall be a new tag/label - Health. By having this new tag its a reconigation that one has pretty much primed out the better years and it's going to be a downhill ride from here.


Come to think about it, the peak is really short. The first 20 yrs of your life you spent growing. Then next 10 are the golden ages. Cherish it! Where really health concerns are at the back of your mind. As you approach the big 30. Back pains, that might be the no1 aliment that everyone faces. Soon there'll be the worry about blood test results. Cholesterol and hypertension becomes a bit more common around you. Before you know it. CA125, CA19.9, PSA and the rest of the tumor markers become table topics. And when there are 4 big candles on your cake, you start celebrating your first normal colonscopy,gastroscopy. Fast forward a little more, arthritis, osteopenia, osteoprosis. Then it won't be when was your last visit to the mall but rather to your doctors.


Then the fear of every man starts to kick in. erectile dysfunction. Should we all cheer the little blue pill? Pfizer got it right with that invention though. 8? good years of patent rights have all but finish. Blue chip advise: Do not invest in pharmaceutical's but rather in healthcare. ie: hospitals.
