Hi,

Some genes turn 'off'. They can be turned back on in some cases. We might be able to grow more than 2 sets of teeth in the future for example.

One of the genes that controls age is affected by the amount of food we eat.
If we could stop eating for some period of time during the day that is longer than usual we would live longer because the gene called the "survival gene" kicks in and we dont age as much.

I've also read that genes fray at the ends or something over time.

I also wonder if the cells could be constantly unfavorably mutating slightly over time because they only have one gene pool to work with.

Another possibility might be cell contamination due to being near other cells that are not of the same type.

Organisms in your gut can do that against you or for you. If we go all the way back to single celled organisms, living in a an acid rich environment, it was about survival for them when the oceans began to build in oxygen threatening their survival, so in turn they assumed a host, the host is able to protect them from oxygen while maintaining the acid rich environment, both gained from the exchange, as time moved forward these began to create new organisms thus finally "they" bacteria helped make creatures which host many organisms in the now oxygen rich oceans, these creatures consumed each other and their hosts, which allowed them all to exchange each others bacteria, from their digestion gut buddies, creating the necessary fuel for cell division.

We are a product of bacteria, we host them still today in our gut, when this becomes out of balance, then cells mutate changing the way the guts immunity system that was protecting now isn't doing proper cell divisions, until we're so out of balance it's effecting our organs cells as well as the guts cell wall allowing the wrong stuff in to the point we're septic, riddling us, deceases we shouldn't have, we begin to have, like diabetes. So, balancing this helps the body protect the cells or restore them depending on how we feed our gut buddies.

Our ancestors began as hunter gatherer, with the introduction of Animal Husbandry and Agriculture, we had optimal opportunity to store energy in summer or have calorie rich, but we have calories all year round 365 days a year, we are rich in calories at all times, this increase doesn't allow the body to fast. Lack of mobility and exercise increases diseases putting stress on the body as a whole, reducing the calories by intermittent fasting and eating more organic veggies for one week a month can drastically change the bodies functions, bringing things back into balance. Eating early like 5 or 6pm, then not eating till 10am or noon is a fast. I do it every day and take a supplement pre-biotic to feed my gut buddies, also take several types of veggie powders to increase the amount of food for them to survive and flourish.

Our mitochondria have circular DNA like bacteria and bacteria-like RNA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion ). Sort of like the "symbiotes of science fiction.
