Is the ageing process reversible?

2020 02 06 Ageing

That’s what we all want! To stay young forever, but is it possible to stay young forever?

Sagar Tewatia – Mumbai Uncensored, 19th April 2022

Well! If it’s about your age, then it’s not possible because we cannot stop the time, but yes, if it’s about mental and physical health, then it is possible.

While many in their 50s and 60s accept that the young days have gone, 56-year-old Milind Soman, an actor, a supermodel and fitness enthusiast, is proving them wrong.

Another is Late Mann Kaur, who won the gold medal at World Masters Athletics Championships when she was 102-year-old.

Still not enough?

What about 71-year-old Actor Sharat Saxena who has a bicep size of almost 19 inches and can lift more weight than a 25 years old boy?

Studies recommend regular exercise is more useful than any drug yet invented to prevent conditions facing older people, such as muscle loss.

To get the full benefits, this way of behaviour should be applied down in a person’s teens and early 20s.

What can we learn from old athletes?

Studying expert athletes – sports people aged 35 and over – gives us an idea of “what is physically possible as we age”.

Analysing each age group’s world record performance times shows that physical capacity diminishes the older you get – but doesn’t fall off rapidly until after 70.

It is appropriate to assume these top athletes have a healthy lifestyle in general; as well as working out regularly, they follow a healthy and balanced diet and don’t smoke or drink heavily.

So their results can help us decide how much of this decline is due to the ageing process.

Can exercise reverse the ageing process?

The more lavish health of older exercisers compared to their inactive peers can lead people to believe physical activity can reverse or slow down the ageing process.

 But the reality is that these active older people are as they should be.

 In our past, we were hunter-gatherers, and our bodies were designed to be physically active.

So, if an active 80-year-old has comparative physiology to an inactive 50-year-old, the younger individual appears older than they should be, not the other way around.

We often confuse the effects of inactivity with the ageing process itself and believe specific diseases result from getting older.

Our modern sedentary lifestyles have speeded up our underlying age-related decline. It contributes to the onset of diseases like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Quality of life

Not only does exercise help prevent the beginning of many diseases, but it can also help cure or alleviate others, improving our quality of life.

Recent studies of recreational cyclists aged 55-79 suggest they can do everyday tasks very easily and efficiently because nearly all body parts are in remarkably good condition.

Takeaway

We should adopt a healthy lifestyle in our 20s or as soon as we realise to slow down the ageing process, and it’s not just about ageing; it’s about living a healthier life and staying away from diseases.

Live like a 20-year-old in your 70s.

Waqf Board Claims 53 Historic Monuments in Karnataka, Raises Concerns Over Encroachments on Protected Sites

Published

Waqf Board

The Waqf Board has recently laid claim to at least 53 historical monuments in Karnataka, a state currently under Congress governance. This claim covers prominent sites such as the Gol Gumbaz, Ibrahim Rauza, Bara Kaman, as well as forts in Bidar and Kalaburagi. Among the 53 monuments, a significant majority—43—are located in Vijayapura, a city that was once the capital of the Adil Shahi dynasty. The remaining sites include six monuments in Hampi and four in the Bengaluru Circle.

According to a Deccan Chronicle report, the Waqf Board in Vijayapura first declared 43 centrally protected monuments as its own in 2005. This claim was made during Mohammad Mohsin’s tenure as Principal Secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department (Medical Education). During that time, Mohsin also served as Chairman and Deputy Commissioner of the Waqf Board in Vijayapura. He asserted that this claim was backed by “authentic documentary evidence” and was subsequently acknowledged in a government gazette notification issued by the Revenue Department.

The Waqf Board has reportedly leveraged the Record of Rights and Government’s Certificate, documents typically issued to property owners, to establish its claim. However, by law, ownership of a property by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) means it cannot be de-notified or transferred to another entity. This restriction is established under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (AMASR) Act and Rules of 1958, which strictly prohibits any such transfer.

“While the ASI holds legal ownership of the land and monuments, the encumbrance has been recorded in favor of the Waqf authority,” states a Right to Information (RTI) response obtained by Deccan Chronicle. This transfer of rights appears to have occurred without ASI consultation, raising legal and procedural concerns.

An ASI official revealed that a joint survey of the monuments was conducted in 2012, during which the Waqf Board was asked to provide evidence for its ownership claims. At that time, the Board did not present any documentation supporting its claims. Yet, the ASI official reports that 43 of these sites are now considered “encroached” by the Vijayapura Waqf Board, leading to a range of modifications that compromise their historical value.

“The 43 monuments in Vijayapura are being defaced, with repairs using plaster and cement that violate conservation standards. Modern additions such as fans, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, and toilets have been added to these monuments. Some areas have even been occupied by shopkeepers,” the official emphasized, pointing out how these changes have adversely impacted tourism and the preservation of these sites.

The encroachments, which have remained unresolved since 2007, persist despite direct instructions from the Union Ministry of Culture to the Karnataka Chief Secretary, the Vijayapura Deputy Commissioner, and the Minorities Welfare Department. This ongoing issue raises questions about the stewardship of Karnataka’s cultural heritage, as the state’s historic sites face pressures from both modern encroachments and competing ownership claims.

Six people burned 1 d

A dangerous situation unfolded in Bhayandar on Wednesday when police officers were met with violent resistance while attempting to evict a family from their rented flat. The Choubey family, who had been accused of refusing to vacate the premises despite the lease expiring in September 2023, escalated the situation to a shocking level.

When police arrived at the Geeta Nagar residential complex to conduct a panchnama, the family initially resorted to intimidation tactics, hurling utensils at the officers. However, the confrontation took a more sinister turn when they threw boiling water at the police, causing severe burn injuries to four constables, one officer, and a panch.

Reinforcements were immediately dispatched to the scene, leading to the arrest of three members of the Choubey family – the parents and their 26-year-old son. Their daughter remains at large.

The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of law enforcement officials while carrying out their duties. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident and to apprehend the remaining suspect.

This shocking event underscores the potential dangers faced by law enforcement personnel when dealing with volatile situations.

On Monday, 30th May, a 43 year old businessman Amar Manish Zariwala along with his driver Shyam Sundar Kamat were traveling on Bandra Worli Sea link  in their car on their way to Malad unless the tragedy occured. They stopped their car in the midst as the kite fell on the road due to the collision with the automobile. To take the glance and save the bird, both came out of the car. But within a span of 30 seconds they were immediately hit by the taxi.

The intensity of the accident was so major that both of them soared in the air and fell on the road with flat backs. Both of them were rushed into the Lilavati Hospital as per whose report Amar was declared dead ( on the spot ) whereas Shyam Sundar undergoing treatment was pronounced dead after a few days.Due to the presence of CCTV in the Bridge, the CCTV footage has sparked on the internet. 

The accused driver has been identified as Ravindra Kumar Jaiswar (38) and has been booked for rash and reckless driving. The accident occured at Pole Number 76 of the sea link and the police arrived soon after the accident. It is worth noting that the driver is not encouraged to stop on the sea link, the speed limit to be maintained should be at most 80 km/ hr. And in case if from the sight of the driver, any inappropriate scenario is happening within the 100 m distance, He / She needs to control the vehicle. In the case of Amar Zariwala, it is evident that the driver had ample time to be aware of avoiding the collision. Thus, the Police have chargesheet the driver.
