Understanding Biological Age and the Aging Process

Biological age refers to how a person has aged based on their appearance and health compared to their chronological age. Research suggests that biological age can be controlled and possibly slowed through certain lifestyle changes. Aging is driven by a universal ticking clock within our biology, with a mortality rate doubling time of approximately eight years. Various factors, such as exercise and strength training, can slow the aging process by reducing the risk of age-related diseases and maintaining overall health. Understanding the underlying processes of aging can help develop interventions and treatments to delay or reverse its effects.
