What makes us age ??

Ageing is the result of a build-up of damage in our bodies' cells. It takes a long time for the damage to get to a level where it may harm us, but eventually we can no longer overlook it.

The protein fibres keeping our skin and artery walls elastic go through changes that lead to loss of that vital flexibility. The DNA strands inside our cells get damaged, too. Ultimately, the cells' energy production systems fail.

An important type of damage is oxidisation, the result of attacks by free radicals. Oxidisation rusts metal, makes fat go rancid and causes browning of peeled fruits and vegetables. It also helps to make us age.

Our bodies have evolved powerful antioxidant enzymes to guard cells against free radicals, but these defences aren't 100 per cent.

this is indeed a goosd information 😊

thank you for sharring
interesting...nice to know the science behind ageing 😳 should share this with me chemistry profesor 😳 😆

Wow I Thought Science Was Boring!
Thabks For Sharing This Great Topic 😉

Thanks 4 sharing.Lots of skin creames contain part of DNA which leads to cell production.

Thanks for sharing, but the reason why most of the people age quickest is tension and stress.. The more you stay away from these two the later you'll age.

^ Yep definitely agree anything like that like drugs, alcohol. All of that stuff is said to be not good for a reason.
