Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wear-and-tear theory of aging suggests that the body's tissues and organs gradually deteriorate over time due to normal use and wear. Good health maintenance practices, such as exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep, can help to slow down this process by reducing the amount of wear and tear on the body.
