The term “aging” is used to refer to the changes that occur in the body with the passage of time. This includes several changes such as, the growth from childhood to adolescents, increased functional ability and efficiency. It also includes the degenerative changes that occur later in life.

Chronic inflammation and stress are the two major factors contributing to the reduced lifespan. So, maintaining the stress free life and taking the foods rich in antioxidants that can reduce the oxidative stress load helps to prolong the lifespan or delay the aging process.
