Aging
Aging is a natural process in which our bodies and minds gradually change over time. It involves biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to physical decline, altered hormone levels, increased susceptibility to diseases, and changes in cognitive functions. As we age, cells accumulate damage, and our body’s ability to repair itself diminishes. While aging is inevitable, its effects can vary significantly among individuals based on genetics, lifestyle, and environmental influences. Understanding aging helps us appreciate the importance of health practices that can enhance our quality of life as we grow older.
