Medical professionals have long established the relationship between age, bodily stamina and quality of health. However, an inverse relationship between age and health exists, such that as one grows older, there is a decrease in the body’s ability to resist disease and infections. Ordinarily, this manifests itself as Age-Related Diseases (ARDs), with effects that usually vary from person to person and largely depend on prevalent lifestyle habits. Just as we refer to age in numbers, the body also goes through an aging process called cellular aging. Cellular aging is a genetically predetermined process that occurs naturally. The fundamental building blocks of the body are cells. Your cells have the ability to divide, grow, and carry out fundamental biochemical mechanisms. The more cells divide, the older they get. In turn, cells eventually weaken and lose their ability to function properly. As cells age, cellular damage also increases. Thus, the cell becomes less healthy, leading to the failure of the biological processes.
A strong Narrative of Female Strength and Empowerment by Tanya Maswaure
The moment I watched the trailer, instant goose bumps spread over my body. I witnessed what may have been a typically male-dominated movie, starring black dark skinned women who stood and fought with confidence. The Woman King is one for the books, and the critics agree! Viola Davis leads a star-studded cast of black excellence and strong female leaders. Like an ancient historical female bodybuilder, the 56-year-old trained younger warriors in the movie. Her zest and fierceness instantly made her one of my favourite characters from the movie. Before the movie was released, the cast appeared on shows and tours, speaking extensively about their intense exercise routines that led to their chiselled and strong bodies. They trained like actual warriors, something that was often just explored amongst men. From behind the scenes to the moment they hit the screens, these actresses have created a beautiful narrative of female strength and empowerment.
