This is a YouTube video titled "How DNA Damage Adds Up #shorts" created in February 2023. It features a monologue by Ask AI Mark explaining the concept of DNA damage accumulation, the body's DNA repair mechanisms, and ways to support DNA repair through lifestyle choices and supplements like NAD, NR, or NMN.
This happens all the time. Every day we get a death by a thousand cuts, literally a hundred thousand little hits every single day. And our DNA has to repair itself. Now, even if you repaired 99.9% of your DNA every day, which we do, there's still kind of this rogue DNA damage. You know, basically it's kind of wild, but, but, you know, our DNA is required to create all the things our bodies do. And it's basically the blueprint in each cell. And your DNA reproduces basically 10 quadrillion times through cell division over your lifetime. That's an enormous amount. And it's like a copy machine. And there are glitches on the copy machine. and then, and then your DNA blueprint can be produced with these glitches. Well, what do you do to address that? First, you want to avoid the things that cause DNA damage, which is sugar, processed food, all that crap. Environmental toxins, radiation, by the way, stress also will do it. And second, you can activate your DNA repair systems. And the beautiful thing about the body is it has these innate healing systems. It's got its incredibly deep wisdom of what to do to heal, repair and regulate itself. We've just interfered with those systems, which is why we have so much disease. Doing that, you can actually activate your DNA repair systems. One of the ways this by activating sirtuins, for example, with NAD or NR or NMN. And I go through all that in the book.
