The ‘Wear and Tear Theory’ of aging

We are forever in search of the cure for old age. Dozens of theories have been proposed, yet science has not produced a universal theory of aging. Dr. August Weismann, a German biologist, first introduced the theory of ‘Wear and Tear’ in 1882. He believed that the body and its cells were damaged by overuse and abuse. The organs- liver, stomach, kidneys, skin, and so on- are worn down by toxins in the diet and the environment; by the excess consumption of fat, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine; by the ultraviolet rays of the sun; and by the many other physical and emotional stresses to which we subject our bodies. Wear and tear is not confined to our organs. It also takes place on the cellular level.
When you are young, your body’s own maintenance and repair system keep compensating for the effects of both normal and excessive wear and tear. With age, your body loses its ability to repair damage- whether caused by diet, environmental toxins, bacteria or viruses. Thus, many elderly people die of diseases that they could have resisted when they were younger.
This theory also holds that nutritional supplements and other treatments can help reverse the aging process by stimulating body’s own ability to repair and maintain its organs and cells. The concept of ‘wear and tear’ therefore may be said to differ from person to person, depending upon the lifestyle of each and the methods used to reverse the wear and tear.
