Your actual age can very often differ from your biological age. Your biological age is determined by observing how well the tissues and cells in your body appear to function. This can be clearly observed in the rate at which your nails grow. The doctor stated that he specifically pays attention to whether his nail growth has slowed down or not and notes how long ago he previously cut them. He made reference to a specific study conducted in 1979 in which scientists observed the growth rate of hundreds of people’s fingernails. What they found was that the participant’s fingernail growth rate slowed down by 0.5% annually from the age of 30 onwards. This suggested that if your nails grow faster than this anticipated rate, then you are aging at a slower rate than average.
