Inheritance of the Aging Process: A Maternal Legacy
The inevitability of aging often sends a shiver down many spines. The sight of a stray gray hair or the etching of a new wrinkle on our forehead can send us into a frenzy. Our loose skin often becomes an unwelcome focus of our attention. However, if you’ve ever wondered how time will treat your appearance, your mother may hold the key. Intriguingly, the blueprint of our aging process is primarily a hereditary gift, predominantly influenced by our maternal lineage.
The rate at which you age is largely influenced by your maternal genetic makeup. However, fear not, for there are measures you can employ to decelerate this process if you wish not to mirror your mother’s aging pace.
