🧠 Fun fact:
Your brain’s processing speed peaks in your 20s — but wisdom, emotional intelligence & vocabulary keep growing through your 60s.
Aging = smarter, not slower. 😉

“Inflammaging” — chronic, low-grade inflammation that rises with age — is now seen as a key driver of aging & age-related diseases.

Experts say managing blood sugar, sleep, and visceral fat can help slow it down.
