Cellular aging is a natural occurrence that happens as people get older. Read on to learn more about cellular aging, its impacts, and prevention/treatment.

What are cells in the human body?

Cells are the basic building blocks of life in the human body. They work together to maintain the overall function and health of the body. 

What causes cellular aging?

Cellular aging is a complex process that is influenced by multiple factors, including telomere shortening. In our previous blog post, we discussed some of the causes of telomere shortening. Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes, and as they shorten, cells function  less effectively. Other causes of cellular aging include: 

• Oxidative Stress
• DNA damage
• Cellular waste products 
• Damaged proteins in the body

What are some of the impacts of cellular aging?

Cellular aging can have various impacts on the body, as it affects the function and integrity of cells, tissues, and organs. Cellular aging is also associated with a wide range of age-related diseases and conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, certain types of cancer, and metabolic disorders. Common impacts of cellular aging include: 

Reduced tissue and organ function: 

Cellular aging can lead to a decline in the function of tissues and organs throughout the body, such as reduced cardiovascular function, lung capacity, kidney function, and a less effective immune response. These changes can contribute to age-related diseases, as previously mentioned, and a decline in overall health.

Decreased regenerative capacity: 

Aging cells have reduced ability to divide and replicate, which can weaken the body’s ability to regenerate and repair tissues. This can slow down the healing process and make the body more vulnerable to injury and disease.

Increased vulnerability to stress and damage: 

Aging cells are more susceptible to damage caused by environmental factors and toxins. This can lead to a higher risk of cellular dysfunction, DNA damage, and accumulation of harmful substances within cells.

Can cellular aging be slowed or prevented?

While the aging process itself is natural and inevitable, there are several ways to help promote healthy aging and potentially slow down cellular aging, including the following: 

• Healthy diet
• Regular exercise
• Stress management
• Adequate sleep
• Sun protection
