Do we not understand enough about the human body? I have heard that we don’t fully understand the mechanism behind aging and this got me wondering. I mean our body seems to be like one of the first things we’d investigate, and yet we seem to know less than I had originally thought.

I have heard it’s due to the Telomeres shortening on the ends of the chromosomes. To a certain extent they shorten anyway with aging but certain lifestyle choices can affect the degree to how much they shorten. Too much scientific detail to go into here but I’m sure if you do a Google search you can find more information on this.
