Science confirms: some people have wrinkles on their face before, others - later.

Aging is a process that affects absolutely all people. Nevertheless, we are aging at different rates, and the onset of aging is at different ages. Why does this happen? A study conducted by a group of Swedish and German scientists showed that aging primarily depends on how mitochondria work, according to Hronika. info.

These organic substances are unique sources of energy cells. In those cases, when their activity decreases, cells, lacking food, wear out faster, and with them - the body, researchers found out. This process causes aging.

The potential for mitochondrial activity, according to scientists, depends on heredity. "DNA, whether they are damaged or normal, is inherited from the father and mother, but the mitochondrial genes depend on mutations in the body of women," scientists explained.

In other words, the longevity of a mother or grandmother affects how long her children and grandchildren will live, and this same heredity for the female line affects when the first wrinkles appear. Such a conclusion was made by scientists during a study of DNA damaged by mitochondria in rats.

But nevertheless heredity does not completely determine the mechanism of aging. This is also influenced by ecology, mental state, lifestyle, experts said newsyou. info.
