1. Error Catastrophe Theory
First proposed in the 1960s, suggests that over time, the number of errors build up to a
catastrophic leading to the death of the cell and, possibly, the entire organism.
Simply put, it claims that if you are going to live fast and hard, life will be short.
This theory is concerned with wearing out of non-
replicable body parts such as brain, muscles …..ect
It suggest a preventive strategy, involving a reduction in activity level and caloric intake.
This theory elaborates on wear and tear by focusing on the neuro-endocrine system.
This system is a complicated network of biochemicals that govern the release of
hormones which are altered by the hypothalamus.

6. The free radical theory:
free radical : any molecule that has a free electron, and so it react with healthy
molecules in a destructive way.
Because the free radical molecule has an extra electron it creates an extra
negative charge. This unbalanced energy makes the free radical bind itself to
another balanced molecule as it tries to steal electrons. In so doing, the
balanced molecule becomes unbalanced and thus a free radical itself.
According to this theory it is the age-related changes of the cells ability to transfer
chemicals, heat and electrical processes that impair it.
As we grow older the cell membrane becomes less lipid (less watery and more
solid). This impedes its efficiency to conduct normal function and in particular
there is a toxic accumulation. This cellular toxin is referred to as lipofuscin and as
we grow older lipofuscin deposits become more present in the brain, heart and
lungs and also in the skin.
The mitochondria are the power producing organelles found in every cell of every
organ. Their primary job is to create ATP. Under normal conditions the
mitochondria are fiery furnaces and subject themselves to a lot of free radical
damage. They also lack most of the defenses found in other parts of the body, so
as we age the mitochondria become less efficient, fewer in number and larger.
Accordingly, ATP production declines.
also referred to as the Glycosylation Theory of Aging. In this theory it is the binding of
glucose to protein, (a process that occurs under the presence of oxygen) that
causes various problems. Once this binding has occurred the protein becomes
impaired resulting in cross- linking disorders include senile cataract and the
appearance of tough, leathery and yellow skin.
It is also theorized that sugars binding to DNA may cause damage that leads to
malformed cells and thus cancer.
