Well cellular aging is just a fact of life, the body is not designed to last forever. Aging is the physiological changes a dog experiences during its lifespan. Cells replicate and die, they are damaged by external factors, and some just lose their function. Many theories exist about why we age, but most will say that it is a multitude of factors and not just one thing that causes aging. Let’s talk about a few:
Free-Radical Oxidation (Environmental Factors): Reactive free radicals in the environment have been shown to damage cell DNA, contributing to health problems in animals. Antioxidant nutrients include Vitamin A, B, C, E, Beta carotene, bioflavonoids, selenium, zinc, copper, magnesium, and iron.
Genetics: Life expectancy is pre-programed based on the genetics from the parents. Providing cells with building blocks such as Omegas found in NatrixOne can more easily reverse the damage caused by accelerated aging.
Wear and tear: All machines wear down over time, and the more that you use that machine, the faster this occurs. But, this doesn’t take into account the body’s ability to repair itself. One day, Canine hip and joint replacements may become commonplace surgeries as we learn to extend our parts in new inorganic ways.
Neuroendocrine Failure (Nutrition): keeping the body in optimal condition with diet is important, overweight dogs have more issues than healthy body conditions. Just like people, a quality diet is providing the body with the proper fuels it needs to perform in the optimal way
These are just a few of the theories that cause aging. So what can I do to help my buddy live a longer life?
