Maybe we should get way extra cake and ice cream for our 44th and 60th birthday parties!
Your body ages rapidly in two ‘bursts,’ at 44 and 60. Here’s how to prepare.
A new study shows that aging isn’t a totally gradual or linear process. While the research comes with caveats, the findings could help us age more gracefully.

In a newly published study, Stanford scientists reveal we don’t age gradually, as has been traditionally believed. Instead, we age at two significant “bursts” across our post-puberty lifespan: one in our mid-40s, the other in our early 60s.
The molecular changes that occur during each period could explain seeming sudden signs of aging such as the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, graying hair, muscle and joint pain, and increased vulnerability to viral infections.
