Aging is the natural process of growing older. Aging is not an illness, but increasing age can take its toll on the body, making it more vulnerable to disease and injury. Growing older is inevitable, but there are steps one can take to slow the aging process and prolong life.

The human body is made up of millions of cells. These cells are constantly producing new cells to replace old ones that have died or suffered damage, but after the cells divide between 20 to 30 times, cell division slows and eventually stops. When cells stop dividing, they change form and release proteins that damage bodily tissues, which results in aging.
Although some natural decline is inevitable, lifestyle choices, genetics and environmental factors also have a dramatic effect on the aging process. Many people speed aging by making lifestyle choices that work against their health, like smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet, excessive alcohol use and failure to protect skin from the sun. Stress levels also play a key role in longevity, as does attitude. Experts also point to free radical damage as a major contributor to the aging process.

Protect skin from the sun by using a sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) everyday. Smokers should quit immediately. Smoking speeds bone and lung deterioration and increases facial lines and wrinkles. Engage in weight-bearing exercise, like walking and weight training to build and maintain bone and muscle mass. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday. Avoid fatty foods, salt, caffeine, red meat, white flour, white sugar, chemical food additives, drugs, pesticides and tap water. Learn to manage stress and keep a positive attitude. Do not use harsh, drying soaps on the skin.
