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.
