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

Answer 1

As others have said, basically your always dying, at i think 25 your body begins to degrade instead of growing. Eventually all the degradation catches up in lots of ways, a cancer cell slips through that your body missed, a organ fails (or multiple), essentially your body just cant keep up with keeping itself alive properly anymore and it piles up till, shutdown.
