"Cellular aging describes our body's internal machinery gradually losing efficiency,"
"As our bodies get older, we see increasing confusion in our DNA, which translates into less than perfect cell function,"
"From the age of 40, our mitochondria efficacy degrades at a rate of around 10% per year."
"The good news is that as we start to understand these processes better, we can figure out ways to combat them,"
Longevity depends on how lifestyle factors affect cells. Cellular aging reflects deterioration of internal cellular machinery and increasing DNA confusion, which reduces cell function. Mitochondrial efficacy begins to decline around age 40 at an estimated rate of about 10% per year, lowering energy and repair capacity. Around age 50, senescent or "zombie" cells accumulate and promote inflammation that drives serious diseases. Cellular aging links to higher early-mortality risk. Interventions that protect mitochondria, limit senescent cell buildup, and support cellular repair—alongside diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management—can help preserve cellular health and extend healthy lifespan.
