age-related physiology

Age-related physiology refers to the changes our bodies undergo as we grow older. These changes can affect various systems, including the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and immune systems. For instance, our heart may become less efficient, bones can become weaker, and our immune response may weaken, making us more susceptible to illness. Additionally, metabolism often slows down, which can impact weight and energy levels. Understanding these changes helps us adopt healthier lifestyles and make informed choices to maintain well-being as we age.
