by Deep Longevity Research confirms: Psychological issues can accelerate your pace of aging. Credit: Fedor Galkin Molecular damage accumulates and contributes to the development of aging-related frailty and serious diseases. In some people these molecular processes are more intense than in others, a condition commonly referred to as accelerated aging. Fortunately, the increased pace of...
