Physiologists now assert that the human body is rejuvenated every seven years.
As you are likely aware, everything is in a perpetual state of flux; nothing old survives, and everything is brand new.
Imagine having a whole new body every seven years!
DNA is renewed every two months.
In one month, the skin regenerates.
The liver regenerates after six weeks.
The gut lining regenerates in five days.
Brain rebuilding takes 1 year.
Blood is renewed every four months.
In three months, your body grows a whole new skeleton.
Hence, if you reach the ripe old age of 70, your body has completely regenerated itself a total of 10 times in the last 70 years. Everything is always evolving; old cells die and new ones are formed.
Consider for a time that you may be similar to a wave in the ocean of life, in a continual process of evolving into something larger than the shape itself.
Each time the wave changes so does your shape; neither you nor the wave are static; rather, you and the body both continually transform into the next form. From your conception, you go through several transformations; your childhood ends, and you are born into adolescence; you continue transforming into adulthood; and ultimately, old age comes and the body perishes.
Just like a wave that rises and eventually dissipates, your body's form undergoes change. However, the essence of your being, your self, remains constant and endures.
