aging process

The biological aging process begins theoretically right after birth, whereby a kind of maturity phase is first experienced, in which an increase in capacity takes place, before degenerative processes gain the upper hand and increasing impairments of the organism occur. Ultimately, the aging processes lead to a limited life expectancy of all living things. In humans, the aging process varies widely and various factors, such as genetic predisposition, lifestyle, or exposure to environmental toxins, have a significant impact on how fast our body ages. Clearly scientifically clarified, however, the course of biological aging processes is not yet. Striking external features of aging include gray hair and the formation of wrinkles.
