Cellular damage : Throughout time, the body's cells sustain harm from a variety of sources, including radiation exposure, exposure to chemicals, and other environmental variables. This harm may intensify over time and speed up aging. Oxidative stress: Our cells lose their ability to effectively combat dangerous free radicals as we age, which can destroy cells and speed up the aging process.
