Understanding the DNA Damage Theory of Aging: Implications for Longevity and Health

DNA Damage Theory DNA damage by UV rays Image credit: Wikipedia The DNA Damage Theory helps to understand how long we live and our health. As we age genetically our cells become more and more damaged, this can be called as cellular aging The theory shows that  Our DNA can hurt inany ways, from inside our bodies and from outside. Things like environmental factors and Oxidative stress can harm our DNA .  Key takeaways • DNA can be damage by   environmental      exposures and oxidative  stress.  • The DNA damage theory explain how    accumulated genetic damage contribute to     cellular aging and impact overall health • Understanding the mechanism of DNA damage is necessary for developing intervention to extend lifespan.  • Ongoing researches are focusing on DNA damage, cellular senescence, and age related diseases.  • DNA repair and reduce the effect of DNA damage, may promote healthy aging. Understandin...

Programmed Theory of Aging

Aging      Image credit pixabay. Com Understanding the Programmed Theory of Aging:A Comprehensive Guide The mystery of Aging has puzzled humans for centuries. While we can't stop time, scientists have explored the theories that explain why we are growing older. One of the prominent idea is The programmed theory of aging, this theory suggest that aging is n't random, instead a process controlled by our gene.  The Enigma of Aging:A Biological puzzle Aging is a complex puzzle made up of many pieces. Each piece represent biological changes,environmental factors and life choices.  As we try to fit together, we realize that aging involve both our genetics and experiences Programmed Aging:A central Theory in Gerontology Programmed aging proposes that we have a biological clock ticking down through the life. This concept grounded in genetics, implying that our cells are pre-programmed to age and die. This theory stands in contrast to wear and tear theory. Which emphasiz...
