Wikipedia states that “Ageing is the process of becoming older”, 👵🏽 and “Longevity” is sometimes used as a synonym for “Life expectancy”.📈
In most instances we often just look at ageing in one dimension, which is the representation in time ⏱️ and how many years you have been alive.
However, in reality, a multitude of aspects surrounding your lifestyle such as diet 🥗, stress 🤯, exercise 🏋️♂️, sleep 😴, as well as your environment 🌎 will affect the rate to which we age.

Most of us will be completely unaware 🤔 that we actually have two ages:
Chronological age ⏱️ refers the exact number of years you have been alive and as predictable as night 🌃 follows day 🌞, your date of birth and age cannot be altered.
While biological age 🧬 is a true reflection of how your cells are ageing and how they have been affected by exogenous and endogenous stressors, which will affect your epigenetics.🧬
Biological age 🧬 is a very well-defined scientific term. It is not a loosely defined marketing term. To date there are 2992 scientific publications on biological age and epigenetics, so it is very well characterised.
Biological ageing 🧬 includes inability to fight cancer/disease 🦠, lack of functioning proteins, energy production in the body, nutrient function, loss of circadian rhythm, increased inflammation 🔥, loss of new cell regeneration, and many more factors.
When proteins lose function, the body cannot carry out the necessary functions – for instance, memory, eyesight, hearing, the ability to properly digest nutrients, to metabolise sugars and fats, fight disease, increased development of autoimmune diseases, etc.
