Yesterday I was reading an Ayurveda Book in which an ancient ayurveda medical book Sharangadhara Samhita " was mentioned.
It mentions the following causes of aging
1. Theory of natural destruction
2.Time factor -
3. Role of Agni ehich affects digestion and metabolism leading to undernourishment of tissues
4. Dietetic factors - excessive intake of pungent, hot & contradictory items
5. Excessive exercise & coitus and
6. Psychological factors - excessive anger, desires, attachments, etc
Also the following factors diminish every 10 years from birth onwards -
