According to Einstein's general relativity, gravity warps time, causing time to move slower in stronger gravitational fields; since your feet are closer to Earth's center than your head, they experience slightly stronger gravity and time passes more slowly there, meaning your head ages faster than your feet by a measurable amount.

Your Head Is Ageing Faster Than Your Feet Right Now And It Has Already Been Measured πβ‘ #ShortsAdded:
Your head is aging faster than your feet.
Right now. [music] This is not a theory, it has been measured.
Einstein's general relativity proved that gravity warps time. The stronger the gravitational pull, the slower time [music] moves.
Your feet are closer to Earth's center than your head, which means they experience slightly stronger gravity.
Scientists have confirmed [music] this using atomic clocks placed at different heights.
Time genuinely moves slower at the floor than at the ceiling. [music] The effect scales with height.
GPS satellites orbit 20,000 km above Earth, where gravity is weaker and time moves faster.
Without correcting for this, GPS systems [music] would drift by 11 km every single day.
Time dilation is not science fiction.
It is built into every device guiding you home.
Your feet and your head are living in different points in time.
Every second of every day.
