Aging is the natural process of changes in our body and mind over time, associated with gradual decline in physical and mental functions. The processes responsible for aging is complex, and involves the interactions of genes, molecular & cellular functions, gut microbiome and environmental factors. Aging in any specific individual is unique and involves genetic predispositions, lifestyle and environmental exposures. However, there are biological functions that are common across humans, influences of which provide a good measure of an individual's health at any given time. Longitudinal monitoring of these biological measures provides a basis for keeping track of the aging process, providing actionable information for lifestyle changes that can help manage aging with a goal of extending lifespan and longevity.
There is a wealth of scientific information in the public domain, most of which in most cases is highly technical and not readily useful for the average individual to read, understand and use the information for making a decision. This website is an effort to keep track of scientific progress, providing simplifed summary description of important scientific concepts in the areas of aging, health, wellness and longevity that can help individuals review and understand these concepts for further exploration.
Biology, the study of life, is a broad and complex field that encompasses everything from microscopic molecular & cellular processes to global ecosystems. At its core, biology is the study of living organisms and how they interact with each other and their environment. However, the language of science explaining the biology can often be dense, filled with technical jargon that makes it hard for non-experts to follow. Simplifying the biology of science at HealthLogiks is focused on breaking down complex biological concepts into clear, digestible ideas that can be understood by a broader audience, without losing accuracy.
