What is physiological age? How does it differ from chronological age and affect us?

Physiological age refers to the age of our body's functions and physiological state, which may not necessarily correspond to our chronological age. It is often observed that people of the same age can have significant differences in appearance and physical condition, with some looking younger and others showing more signs of aging. This is primarily due to differences in lifestyle and health conditions that affect physiological age.

Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, excessive drinking, lack of exercise, and poor diet can accelerate physiological aging. In addition, health conditions such as chronic illness or prolonged stress and depression can also lead to a decline in bodily functions and accelerate physiological aging. Therefore, it is important to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and manage our health to maintain consistency between our physiological age and chronological age, in order to preserve our overall health and youthful state.
