What truly determines human aging and lifespan?

Depending on one's lifestyle habits, one can age faster or look younger than their age.

Therefore, we should strive to adopt good lifestyle habits, shouldn't we?

To adopt good lifestyle habits, it's crucial to focus on vascular health.

Healthy blood vessels have good elasticity and can withstand high pressure well.

However, as we age, the elasticity of blood vessels gradually decreases and they narrow.

This can lead to various diseases that threaten our health.

Thus, since the condition of blood vessels determines aging and lifespan,

it is said that delaying vascular aging is essential for proper health management.
