When we are younger, we would have had more energy and agility in general. We do notice that, as we grow older, our energy levels decrease, even if we have been following a healthy routine. This is because, after the age of 25, the cells in our body begin to degenerate, slowly, and this process of cell degeneration quickens after the age of 35.
