At what age does aging actually begin
Scientists have discovered that the key "turning point" of aging occurs between the ages of 50 and 55, when the body's defense mechanisms begin to weaken. Until age 23, growth occurs, then the body protects itself from diseases, and after 50 this protection declines. The article also suggests ways to slow aging: calorie reduction, physical activity, quality sleep, giving up bad habits, and a positive attitude.
Scientists from the US, UK, and Finland studied genetic activity in brain and muscle tissues of people aged 20 to 90. They found that the key "turning point" of aging occurs between 50 and 55 years. Until age 23, the body grows and develops; from 23 to 50, it maximally protects itself from diseases; and after 50, defense mechanisms weaken, leading to age-related diseases. Previously, it was believed that signs of aging could appear as early as 20. The article also suggests ways to slow aging: calorie reduction and eating low-calorie foods (fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts), regular physical activity to prevent weakness, quality sleep before 11 PM, quitting smoking and alcohol, and maintaining psychological well-being and a positive attitude.
