FACTS ABOUT AGING
- It is not all about your genes. Studies suggest genetics only account for 20 to 30 percent of an individual’s chances of living to age 85 or beyond.
- Diet, exercise, stress, smoking, and hormone balance play a significant role in how we age. They affect the body’s ability to respond to free radicals and chronic inflammation damage.
- The first subtle signs of aging—such as wrinkles, weight gain, and fatigue—tend to appear in your 30s. This is precisely when testosterone and estrogen begin to decline in men and women. Coincidence? Of course not.
- Signs and symptoms of aging can be controlled—and even reversed to a large degree—with hormone therapy and other anti-aging treatment options.
