Effects of Ginseng on Aging
The aging of the body system begins at the moment we arrive in this world. The moment we see light, we already start counting down. Aging takes place progressively. We should prepare to make our old age useful.
Premature Aging
How old is old? When does old age begin? Some say life begins at forty, some say fifty. We would like to say that the third phase of our life began at the age of fifty. How about yours? Some readers are, we suppose, in their twenties, thirties, or forties. Some others will have started the second or the third phase of their life and are already enjoying it. We can find the meaning of our existence only when we are healthy and able to utilize our minds and bodies, being useful to one’s family and to society. The mere extension of life into old age would not do us any good.
