“Ageing starts from the feet upwards”
What FACTLY found
There is no scientific evidence to show that ageing starts from the feet upwards. Ageing is complex as it impacts different body parts differently. As one ages, the performance of many parts like heart, kidneys, brain, lungs, etc decline. The focus is not particularly on one part of the body for everyone and varies for each individual. Walking for at least 150 minutes a week is generally recommended for healthy ageing
