Why do living beings die? Why don’t we continue to grow for the rest of our lives?

Title. Why do our bodies stop growing at one point and begin to decline in function? If the purpose of life is to live and reproduce, wouldn’t it make more sense to continually evolve and live forever? Also don’t our cells constantly regenerate? So if they do then why do they start to die out?

Just a side note here you don’t “evolve” as you exist. That would have already occurred when you were conceived, based on your parents surviving natural selection.
