What Causes Aging?
We've all asked these age-old questions at one time or another:
- Why am I getting wrinkles on my face and how can I stop them?
- How come I can't lose these extra pounds I'm gaining?
- Why am I so forgetful about where I put my keys and where I parked my car?
- I didn't do anything strenuous yesterday, why am I waking up so sore?
The specific answers to these questions may lie in how healthy we age - after all, we know that these questions occur more frequently and rapidly as we grow older.
As we age, our bodies go through changes - internally and externally. Science has shown that much to do with the aging process and its "visible" signs are caused by what's happening inside our bodies.
Two of the main causes of aging have been attributed to:
- Declining levels of vital biological elements
- Oxidative stress
Internally, our organs begin to shrink, become less active and produce fewer hormones and other vital bodily elements. When we are young, our hormones work together to regulate many bodily functions. Hormones are vital for repairing and regulating our body, and when aging causes a drop in hormone production, it causes a decline in our body's ability to repair and regulate itself. The aging of our internal organs and decline in vital bodily elements causes a slowdown of our metabolism, a reduction in libido, frail bones, a reduction in mobility and compromises our immune system.
"Oxidative stress" is a term used to describe the aging process taking place inside our bodies. It is caused by free radicals attacking the structure of cells and destroying them. When we are young, the effects of free radicals are minor since the body has extensive repair and replacement mechanisms that function to keep cells and organs in working order. With age, the accumulated effects of free radical damage begin to take their toll. Damage from free radicals causes the deterioration of internal organs as well as age spots and wrinkles, especially on the face.
