Repair Mechanisms

Repair mechanisms are the body's natural systems that identify, fix, and replace damaged or faulty cells and tissues to maintain health. For example, when you cut your skin, your body quickly works to seal the wound, prevent infection, and regenerate new tissue. Cells have specialized processes, like DNA repair, that correct genetic damage. These mechanisms help prevent diseases, slow aging, and recover from injuries, ensuring the body functions properly over time. They are essential for maintaining overall health and resilience against daily wear and tear.
