Did you know that you might be younger than you look?
Discover how chronological age and biological age influence your body's ageing process!
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN BOTH CONCEPTS
When we talk about ageing, we often associate it directly with our chronological age, the one we count in years from the day of our birth. However, the truth is that the age we appear physically does not always match our biological age.
The secret to a healthier and younger-looking life is understanding the difference between these two concepts and learning to take care of our body at a cellular level. In this article, we will teach you how to differentiate the two ages and, ideally, how to slow down your time clock.
WHAT IS
CHRONOLOGICAL AGE?
Chronological age is the amount of time that has passed since the day you were born. It's that date we celebrate every year on our birthday. However, despite being an important indicator, it does not always accurately reflect how our body is ageing in biological terms.
AND THE
BIOLOGICAL AGE?
Biological age is determined by internal and external causes that affect cellular health and our body’s function, such as lifestyle habits, diet, physical activity levels, exposure to toxins and stress, among others. A person may have a biological age younger or older than their chronological age, depending on these influences. Curious, right?
THE ROLE OF
OXIDATIVE STRESS
One of the main elements that play a role in biological ageing is oxidative stress, caused by free radicals. These molecules damage healthy cells, resulting in an acceleration of the ageing process.
This is when dietary supplements come into play and become our best friends, as they provide powerful antioxidants to fight free radicals and protect our cells against oxidative stress.
DELAY
AGEING?
There are dietary supplements specifically formulated with ingredients rich in antioxidants, essential vitamins and minerals with the aim of promoting cellular health, protecting against oxidative stress and supporting our body's optimal functioning.
Ageing is a natural process of life, but we now know that we are not doomed to show signs of premature ageing. Chronological age is just a number, but biological age is where we can make a difference when taking care of our health and well-being.
By integrating healthy habits into your routine, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, together with dietary supplements, such as those from the Advancis® Agellai® range, we can slow down the clock and enjoy a more vibrant and youthful life. Invest in yourself, your future and your most precious asset: your body! From the inside out.

Chronological age is the amount of time that has passed since the day you were born.
-
3.
Biological age is determined by internal and external causes, such as lifestyle habits, diet, physical activity levels, among others.
-
4.
One of the main elements that contributes to biological aging is oxidative stress, caused by free radicals.
