    Ageing is a phase of life and a biological process. Every organism that is born must age with time and decay. It has been described as the process of diminishing capacity to react to environmental conditions and weaving out of the body's basic mechanisms to withstand stress. In our society, old age is often regarded as a time when the vessel of life has become empty and a time when human development and human potentiality has come to an irreversible and inevitable halt. Aging is process which takes place during the entire life span of an organism. Though old age in man is often associated with disease, however, aging can never be regarded as synonymous with disease, loneliness and uselessness. The truth about aging is that it is a natural and universal process. It is not at all a crisis which hits us suddenly and abruptly in middle age, but it is a continuous unfolding cycle of change that begins to operate even before our birth.
