Our Body Starts Dying at the Age of 25

Body Starts Dying

I read from an article before that the human body starts dying at the age of 25. It doesn’t technically mean that it dies, but it starts to age. The article said this is so because the cells in our body could no longer repair themselves thus they age and eventually die. The production of the newly formed cells decreases. The amount of dying cells or aging cells increases while the production of new cells decreases. Therefore the human body will start to age and feels tired easily. So if you reach the age of 25, you should not abuse your body like the way you do when you were younger, healthier and stronger.

Personal Worries

Since I am already 30 years old, then it’s already 5 years since my body cells started dying thus it also means that I have been abusing my “dying” body for 5 years also. And I think, just maybe, that is the reason why I easily get sick and experiences pain in my whole body.

If the article says is true or not, I think I should not abuse my body but sometimes I have no choice but to do some extreme activities just to earn money for the family. 🙁

Anyway, as we grow older, don’t think about your body starts dying when you reach the age of 25 but you can consider this…

    Just wanted to comment on this, 7yrs Later- 🙂 I have no credibility as a biologist or scientist, just an average guy- somewhere in my research and readings of aging, I seem to recall, that our cells die all of the time, even starting from birth, however, from birth onward, new cells are created at much faster rate, then when they die. its the magic number plus or minus a year or 2, of 25ys old, where our bodies cells die faster then what is being replaced or repaired- and that process gradually builds speed as cell production decreases and cell death increases-

      Hello, Drouel! Thank you for your comment. I don’t remember the entire article, especially now, but I agree with what you said. New cells are created at a faster rate when we are younger.

      Now that I am almost 8 years older since this post, my conclusion is just the same. We should not abuse our bodies, but, I am still guilty. There are times (many times) that I sleep very late. Usually, in the wee hours of the morning. 🙁

    we start dying the day we are born, Sometimes I think what is the point of life when we’re just going to die but I guess this place is some sort of transitional area for our souls (if one believes in souls). If you don’t believe in souls or the afterlife then I’m not sure why we have to even live if it means nothing in the end. Weird existence. But I think there is more out there that we don’t know about. Certainly.
