Why are some people described as “younger than they are” while others seem to “wear their years badly”?
Simple: we don't all age at the same rate. Take two people born on the same day.
From that day onwards we can calculate the chronological age, the same one that we also find on the identity card. But although the time elapsed since birth is exactly the same, it does not mean that both have the same biological age, that is, the one that can be attributed on the basis of morphological and functional conditions evaluated with respect to standard reference values. Biological age is therefore correlated to chronological age, but is influenced by numerous other factors such as genetics, the environment in which one lives and lifestyle, and by the damage caused by the continuous action of free radicals on the organism.
“Oxidative stress” and the damage caused by the continuous action of free radicals in our organism are especially evident in the premature aging of cells and are associated with the onset of most pathologies, such as cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, stroke), diabetes and its complications (neuropathy, nephropathy, angiopathy, retinopathy), multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary emphysema, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, tumors and many others.
Our endogenous antioxidant defenses protect our body from damage caused by oxygen free radicals (rlo). The real state of well-being of our body, and therefore also the propensity or otherwise to age or longevity, depends on the extraordinary balance between antioxidant defenses and levels of rlo. This is why, using a neologism, the most anti-oxidized people are those who live the longest and are the healthiest.
