I mean if u don’t die from a heart attack or something. If you die from aging how do you die? Do you just stop breathing?
In: Biology
As you get older each and every part of your body starts to break down little by little and loose function. Bones loose density.
Your joints ache, your muscles get weaker, your skin gets thinner and less elastic.
But also, your arteries harden, your kidneys become less effective, your bowels develop cancerous cells. Plaque builds in your brain.
All these weakening systems stack on top of each other. 80% heart function puts stress on the lungs, 70% kidney function puts strain on the heart. And so on and so on.
And none of this breakdown can be quickly or easily repaired.
And one day when nothing in your body is working at better than 50% you have a sudden critical event that wouldn’t kill a healthy person, but you simply don’t recover and everything fails and you just kinda die.
No one thing but everything.
Organ failure. Any one of them could be called natural causes.
