The article emphasizes the importance of genetics and lifestyle in the aging process. Dr. Daniel Wallerstorfer, biotechnologist and founder of Novogenia, explains that approximately 40% of the aging rate is genetically determined, while 60% can be influenced by lifestyle choices. Telomeres, the end caps of chromosomes, play a key role: their length determines cellular aging. A personalized diet, based on genetic analyses, can help reduce biological age. Factors such as smoking, overweight, and lack of exercise accelerate telomere shortening and thus the aging process.Â
