The ageing is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to a variety of loosely understood mechanisms. As we age, cell renewal process in the body slows and organs gradually lose mass and function. Generally, after the 35-40 year of age is the time when people notice the age-related changes like greying of hair, wrinkled skin and a fair amount of physical decline. Normal ageing is characterised by a decrease in bone and muscle mass, joints may become stiff, and metabolism slows, often causing weight gain. Lung capacity reduces, and digestion can become less efficient. Hormonal changes, like menopause or reduced testosterone, also impact overall health. Despite these changes, many effects of aging can be managed or delayed through healthy lifestyle choices—such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, mental stimulation, and social engagement.
