When certain of our vital organs are older than our years would predict, the risk of serious illness escalates. British and Finnish investigators studied blood samples from 6235 middle-aged adults and tracked their health over a 20 year arc. Accelerated aging in the heart, liver, and brain was was associated with life-limiting heart failure, liver failure, and lung cancer. More rapid aging in one of these vital organs was linked to a higher risk of multi-organ failure.So what can you do to stop that aging.  Eating a healthy diet and exercising protects your heart.  Avoiding toxins like alcohol and recreational drugs protects your liver and your brain.  Avoiding head trauma in during sports also keeps your brain processing in an optimal fashion.https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landig/article/PIIS2589-7500(25)00006-8/fulltext#aging #organs #heart #liver
