Genetic Integrity

Meaning

Genetic integrity refers to the critical state of an organism’s genome being free from significant mutations, deleterious structural alterations, or accumulating damage that could compromise its fundamental ability to correctly store, accurately replicate, and properly express its genetic information. Maintaining this integrity is absolutely fundamental to cellular health, proper tissue function, and overall longevity, as compromised DNA can directly lead to cellular senescence, pervasive tissue dysfunction, and the initiation of malignancy. Hormonal balance and robust metabolic health play an essential, supportive role in regulating the complex DNA repair mechanisms that actively protect the genome from continuous endogenous and exogenous insults.
