  Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen .¨ – Michael Jordan Endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance are the cornerstones of physical fitness. Each component contributes to overall fitness and well-being and is important in its own right. Endurance refers to the body's ability to sustain physical activity over some time. Strength is the ability of muscles to exert force against resistance. Flexibility is the range of motion of a joint, while balance refers to the ability to maintain stability and control during movement. In this article, we will explore each of these components of fitness, their benefits, and how to improve them. Endurance: Endurance is the ability to sustain physical activity for an extended period without becoming fatigued. It is an important component of physical fitness that is essential for many sports and daily activities. Endurance training improves cardiovascular health, increases lung capacity, and strengthen...

It's not how old you are. It's how you are old

  “Your face is marked with lines of life, put there by love and laughter, suffering and tears. It's beautiful.” - Lynsay Sands. Aging refers to the physiological changes we experience during our life. The cells in our body decline over time. In our course,  Why Do We Age? In the Molecular Mechanisms of Ageing , we cover the theories of aging, looking at the molecular and cellular processes involved and explaining what happens to our bodies as we grow older.  By understanding these processes and what aging is, we can see how to delay, prevent or reverse aging. We can also determine what lifestyle changes we can make to hold off getting old and where scientific advances could help in offering a cure. Who knows – in the future, science could lead to immortality! Cause of aging  Aging is a closely orchestrated process – a process of wear, tear, and repair systems in our body. Our cells get energy from food and from the air that we breathe. This process of metabolism r...
