Seven Ways to Slow Telomere Shortening 
Molecular biologist and ultramarathon runner Dr. Andrews shares his tips on how to slow aging.
The future of antiaging is nigh with minds like Bill Andrews, Ph.D., and Isagenix Founder and Master Formulator John Anderson on the scene of telomere biology research. Dr Andrew’s associates won the Nobel prize for their research on telomeres. Dr Andrews is an exciting addition to the Isagenix team.
Telomeres are non-coding sequences of repetitive DNA at the end of chromosomes that are linked to human lifespan — and Dr. Andrews and Dr Anderson are seeking out natural compounds that will turn on expression of telomerase, an enzyme that restores the length of telomeres. Keeping telomeres long by reversing age-related shortening can potentially slow the onset of poor health and increase human lifespan.
However, as we await the latest developments in antiaging strategies such as inducing telomerase activity, there are a few lifestyle changes we can make to slow down telomere shortening as much as possible. Read the rest of this entry »
