OK so I know this has been asked but I still don’t get it.
Who do humans age faster/slower? (Shown in interstellar for example) Biologically I don’t understand why the body would age faster?

Imagine yourself running on a big flat surface. You have some maximum speed you can achieve and let’s assume you don’t get tired (it’s constant). If you choose to run north, then your speed towards north is your max speed. Easy, right? If you choose to run west, your speed towards west is your max speed and your speed towards north is zero. Now, if you choose to run north-west, then your speed towards north is not going to be your max speed, because you’re also assigning a portion of your speed to go towards west as well, and the more towards north you direct yourself, the more “west speed” you’re going to sacrifice, bringing your “north speed” close to your maximum (and vice versa if you decide to go more west). Does this make sense?
If yes, then simply imagine moving through time is also a direction that contributes to using up your maximum speed. So if you don’t move too fast physically, you move through time at “normal rate”. But if you go really, really fast in any physical direction, you sacrifice your speed of moving through time – which is why you’d be younger than those who didn’t go as fast.
