Aging is the process of growing old It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or
accident does not kill it prematurely The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the
graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy,
a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a light graying of the coat Plants are too, but the signs are much harder to
detect

Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood They reach their peak at the
time of maturity, or early adulthood After that, they begin to decline Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and
more brittle In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible This can make moving

among people in their rate of aging Even the cell of the body differ in the way they age The majority of cell are capable
of reproducing themselves many times during the course ofa lifetime Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced
once they wear out
Gerontologists- scientists who study the process of aging – believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a

PANDEMIC DISEASES
Diseases are a natural part of life on earth If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and
there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance
But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu
across the world, killing over 25 million people only in six months Such terrible outbreaks of a diseases are called
pandemics
Pandemics happen when a diseases changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight In 1918, a new
type of flu virus appeared Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed

pandemics because most people die within three days of getting the diseases This means that the virus does not have
enough time to spread a large number of people The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to
ten day to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common Doctors carefully
