I remain your girl @tripple-e, and I won't fail to appreciate @healthy steem community for hosting. "The science of Aging" such an amazing topic.

Never you forget the code: Stay Healthy and be very intentional about it, for sound health is your greatest asset.

Let's see the hint questions:

But before then let's understand what aging means

To a lay man's understanding; aging simply means growing old. And this happens gradually. That is why old age is seen as a blessing and grey hairs connote Wisdom.

👉What is the medical process behind aging and from which age it actually starts?

That's the three stages in a man's life(human)

Aging can not be stopped but we can actually help in slowing it down. Because it is related to our environment, our psychology, biological, our Behavior and even the societal process.

Researchers are still researching about what could cause aging and some of them came about these facts:

• That over the time our cells accumulate what is called "cellular senescence cells" and these cells ends up causing a whole lot of damage by secreting a harmful substances that can damage other tissues or body parts.

• Another medical process that can influence aging is DNA damage: you see all these radiation,it could be from mobile phones, computers, laptops and even from the sun can cause problems to our health and when accumulated over time can leads to cellular dysfunction.
Please stop placing your cellphones close to you when you're not using it

• They also opines that, there is a change that occurs called epigenetics changes which is the study of how genes functions in the body. That these changes is capable of silencing the important genes and then activate the harmful ones which influence aging.

And the B part of the question asked what age does aging start?

Aging start from birth as simple as that

It is important we note that aging is natural, these are just contributing factors or medical process behind it.

That white hairs is a sign of wisdom

My darlings, old age is a blessing, it shows that I have gathered enough experiences, this aging thing is a natural phenomenon, a natural occurrence which would eventually happen, whether I am afraid or not. When it is time it will surely comes knocking. For instance looking back 20 years ago I was younger than this, there are a lot of changes that took place in my life to show that I'm growing older; it could be in my reasoning, behavior and so on.

So I am not afraid of old age or aging, but what I need to do is to set my life in order, lay my bed very well so that I'll be able to lie on it comfortably in the future without becoming a burden to my family and children.

I have seen older adults who are still up and doing, very industrious. I wish to be like that.
