The biological age shows the degree of wear and tear of our body. According to doctors, it is he who decides how old we really are, not our birth certificate. What influences our biological age and how to measure it? How can you rejuvenate your body?
Is it possible that one person in their 40s may have their biological age estimated at 30 and another at 50? Yes, it is possible. Each of us is agingat a different pacee. What's more - each of our organs may be at a different stage of "wear". We can therefore talk about the age of our teeth, bone age, physiological age, and even the age of the figure.
What influences our biological age?
Scientists agree that our biological age is influenced by bothgeneticsandenvironmental factors . The latter include, among others :
- lifestyle: physical activity, sleep, stress level
- diet
- avoiding stimulants
- maintaining a he althy body weight
- being under the constant care of a doctor
- degree of environmental pollution
While we have little influence on genetic factors, environmental factors largely depend on us. That is why all people who care about maintaining intellectual and physical fitness for as long as possible should lead the he althiest lifestyle, i.e. eat he althy, sleep at least 7-8 hours a day, take regular exercise, avoid all stimulants and stress, and regularly to be tested. Research also shows that people who breathe cleaner air, and thus live outside large cities, are also he althier.
Scientists have long searched for ways to measure our biological age without carrying out hundreds of studies. Here is an example test:
