Every summer, wildfires worsen air quality in many regions of Canada. At the same time, many people do not realize that the danger exists not only near the fire itself. Smoke can be carried by air currents for hundreds and even thousands of kilometres, so air quality can deteriorate significantly in places where there is no visible fire nearby at all.
The speed and pattern of aging differ for each person: in one, blood vessels are the first to be affected, in another — the joints, and in a third — the cognitive sphere. Therefore, an effective program must be based on objective data, not only on the clinical picture.
Aging is a natural biological process that affects every level of the body’s functioning. Over time, the ability of cells to repair themselves declines, damage accumulates, and adaptive mechanisms weaken. But the pace and manifestations of aging vary greatly from person to person: some remain active and mentally sharp well into old age, while others experience significant decline as early as middle age.
