Research further illuminating the mechanisms of impaired DNA damage repair associated with aging has recently been published in the journal Aging. Genomic InstabilityGenomic instability is the result of gradual damage to DNA in ways that are not naturally repaired. This is a root cause of aging, and it leads to genetic mutations and an increased...

A short-term caloric restriction diet enhanced a DNA repair process known as non-homologous end joining. These results may partially explain how caloric restriction and similar diets increase lifespan and healthspan in a wide range of organisms. Eat less, live longer Caloric restriction – that is, reduced caloric intake without malnutrition – is one of the...
