It’s scientifically shown to make cells age faster.
People are living longer these days than they did in the past. While that’s definitely good news, it does come with one caveat. While lifespan is increasing, healthspan (aka the number of years a person spends in good health) is decreasing. On average, someone in the U.S. spends up to 20% of their life not in good health.
