The Process of AgingIn all my probings of the biological reasons for getting older, I've found that the process of aging is, to a large degree, negotiable. The point we all need to grasp, finally is that we have considerable room to modify our experience of aging.Genetics plays a part. The chronology of our years can't be changed. But these are only two among many factors that determine just how we age and how long we live. The disease and the decrepitude that have previously made the idea of aging intolerable are not inevitable. Rather, they are often the result of the misuse and the disuse of our bodies.For better or worse, all that's come before begins to add up in mid-life - our eating habits, our exercise patterns, whether we smoke, the way we've generally lived our lives.
