First, there are simple biological reasons that cannot be ignored
or controlled (more like inevitable). For instance, aging is a
natural process that occurs in all the body’s tissues, cells and
organs. These cells undergo changes with aging by becoming
larger and less adept at dividing and multiplying. Among other
things, there is also a growth in fatty substances and pigments
that start to collect inside the cells.
At the same time many cells also lose their potential to function
properly or may start to function unusually. A pretty dismal
picture so far, most would think.
And then there are factors like outside influences which can be
controlled (these are the ones we can work on and will discuss in
much detail in this book). If you have lifestyle habits like
smoking, enjoy frequent night caps, or like to pop a pill every
time you sneeze, you may unconsciously be promoting
premature aging.
