All humans age. You might define aging as grey hair, Weak body and wrinkled skin. But, In the words of science, Aging is the state at which cells cannot divide any further. The process behind aging is quite interesting.
A regular human cell divides 50 times before it dies. The DNA in our cells are packaged in chromosomes, Each of them have two protective regions at the extremes known as Telomeres,
They shorten every time the cell replicates. When Telomeres become too short, The cells stop dividing and eventually die.
So far discovered, Aging can be slowed down by maintaining a good balanced diet, Exercise and Medicine.
Scientists have started to have a look at the idea of Cell repair using nanobots and gene replacements.
But until then, Our Biological clock is set and we all are destined to age and die.
