The DNA In Our Cells Needs Constant Repair

With age, our body's ability to repair and maintain DNA strands can lead to premature aging and neurodegeneration, as well as increase the risk of developing serious diseases.

Just like a cut on our skin needs to heal, the DNA in our cells needs constant repair. Every day, individual cells suffer thousands of tiny hits to their DNA – from both within our own bodies and from environmental stressors like pollution or UV light. Normally, the body responds quickly. But as we age, these repair mechanisms weaken, allowing damage to build up.
