Summary
You know how victims and perpetrators are identified by their DNA on TV shows like CSI and Law & Order. Now that same science can help you lead a longer, healthier life. DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid - is the chemical inside your cells that carries the genetic instructions that make you unique. Aging occurs in DNA as cells replicate themselves continually in a process similar to photocopying. As the normal functioning of our cells becomes less efficient over time due to environmental, lifestyle, and hereditary factors, those cells produce less accurate copies, causing malfunctioning throughout the body that results in degenerative diseases and aging.
