Aging is a relentless process that starts earlier than we might anticipate. Our bodies, intricate and diverse, age at varying paces. Let's take a look at the first signs of aging & discover how we can slow this natural process.

Heart: 40 Years Old - Around 40, our heart enters a phase of decline. Reduced blood vessel elasticity challenges the heart's efficiency. Poor dietary choices often exacerbate the aging process by contributing to fatty deposits and inflammation in our arteries.

Skin: 25 Years Old - Becoming obvious at 30, the body progressively reduces collagen production; causing the skin to lose elasticity.

Brain: 24 Years Old - The surprising aging process of our brain begins as early as 24. By the age of 40, you could be losing as many as 10,000 neurons daily, causing memory loss and cognitive decline.

Muscle: 30 Years Old - Muscles, start natural breakdown faster than rebuilding at 30. After 40, adults might lose as much as 2% of muscle mass each year.
