Aging DNA

Aging DNA is when your DNA changes over time as you age. DNA contains information about your physical appearance and health, and as you get older, these things can sometimes change. For example, the DNA in your cells can break down, or get worn out, which makes it harder for cells to work the way they should. As a result, some of the things that used to be healthy for you to do, like being active and staying healthy, may become more difficult as you get older.
