takes its toll

“We are all naturally passionate at some point in our lives. We all start out that way at least. Most children contain the energy and love of life that sums up the spirited. Unfortunately, as life takes its toll, some of us lose our passion. Here are 10 habits to help infuse your life with intensity again.”

Does it mean “life ring the warning bell“ or “cause a loss to” in this sentence?

life takes its toll As you go through life, you suffer inevitable mental and physical damage, injury, wear and tear. It's like a price you pay for living. The expression has nothing to do with bells.
