DNA Damage
Small innovations brought about by studies on DNA and gene maps create great hopes in terms of health and treatment. It is now known that the main source of diseases is DNA damage. It is no coincidence that cancer and degenerative diseases of all kinds are increasing at an incredible rate these days. This situation; a result of increased DNA damage. Anti-oxidants, on the other hand, provide partial protection, although not fully, and cannot completely prevent DNA damage. However, DNA damage must be repaired for the continuation of a healthy life. A herbal extract called AC-11, which supports the repair of DNA damage, has been widely used in many countries, especially in Japan. It was included in the top 10 most used substances in skin care products, especially in 2009-2010, when it was first used in Japan. For this, Free Radicals and Anti-oxidants Research Association Board Member Dr. Yaman Er gives information about how DNA damage occurs, which diseases it causes, and prevention methods!
Our DNA, which carries all the information and codes necessary for us to be healthy throughout life, is the road map of our health. “DNA damage”, which means deductions and breaks in our DNA, has two sources, internal and external. External sources: As can be easily guessed; While the UV rays we get from the sun, food additives containing harmful chemicals, environmental pollution, sadness and stress, internal sources are our metabolism that keeps us alive and healthy, albeit astonishingly. In other words, on the one hand, our metabolism, which gives us vitality, on the other hand, ages us by producing free radicals that damage our DNA. Therefore, there is no human without DNA damage. Despite the anti-oxidant system, approximately 10,000 DNA damage occurs in the nucleus of each of our cells every day. To stay healthy, to be protected against cancer and degenerative diseases, and even to delay aging; It is possible by protecting and increasing DNA repair.
Let’s PROTECT, REPAIR !
-Scientists have intensified their studies on this issue.
Due to the insufficient amount of anti-oxidants we use to prevent free radicals that attack DNA that keeps us alive, “DNA damages accumulate and over time; aging, cancer, metabolic diseases and chronic diseases occur.
– On the other hand, it has been shown that doing light sports and using natural products that support the body’s DNA repair system, such as AC-11, are beneficial. For this reason, we should prefer products containing AC-11 in skin care.
In order not to fill our repair capacity, we must help our body and our reparative system by protecting against harmful habits and external harmful elements. Because only anti-oxidants are not enough to protect. We should eat healthy, get rid of harmful habits, stay away from environmental poisons and protect ourselves against the negative effects of the sun. In skin care, we should prefer creams that support DNA repair and do basic skin care.
