The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
We know that as people age, their sensation becomes less. So just through aging, the nerves, the receptors become less sensitive, and so you will generally have less responsiveness to the same sensations you did when you were younger.

Now versus when I was 20 correct so as we age the sensitivity of The receptors decreases Now here's where it gets a little scary when we go from 50 to 85 at 85 we now have 75% decreased sensitivity to these receptors
so let's start at age 50 you lose 20% it takes 20% more pressure to stimulate these receptors Now versus when I was 20 correct so as we age the sensitivity of The receptors decreases Now here's where it gets a little scary when we go from 50 to 85 at 85 we now have 75% decreased sensitivity to these receptors
