As people age, their bodies become more susceptible to various ailments. For some, this would be the result of earlier diseases or other physical conditions. For others, it is likely due to wear and tear as both internal and external organs lose their flexibility, resilience, and recuperation capabilities, resulting in generally poorer health.
