Anti-aging or healthy-aging as referred by some is a popular trend in 2020. Peeps are excited to try out the latest supplements in the market which claim that they can stop aging, which is not true. Old age is an inevitable process. No need to be disheartened just yet, what you can do is slow it down and age in a healthy manner so that you stay in the plateau phase of your age for the longest time.
