Aging happens to everyone, yet science still can’t fully agree on why. From shrinking telomeres and damaged cells to inflammation, genetics, and the slow breakdown of the body’s repair systems, growing older is far more complicated than just getting wrinkles. Why do we age explores the real biology behind aging. What speeds it up, what slows it down, and why some people seem to age faster than others. It also looks at the surprising role of the brain, the impact of lifestyle, and the cutting-edge research trying to slow the clock. Can diet, exercise, and lower stress really affect how fast you age? Could scientists one day stop aging altogether? And what part of your body actually ages first?
