why our body is able to self heal but it will stop working and let us die when we get old?

It’s evolution.
You only need to be alive long enough to procreate. And sure, you can have a few decades of being viable for that purpose. However, as you get older and beyond procreation you become a drag on evolution. It costs to keep you alive, and that cost is better spent on the next generation.
Having typed that out, it seems a bit harsh. But hey, I didn’t make the rules.
