Telomeres

TELOMERES ARE THE ONLY BIOLOGICAL CLOCK KNOWN AT THIS TIME….

SIMILAR TO THE PLASTIC END OF OUR SHOELACE THAT PROTECTS THE LACE FROM COMING APART, THE TELOMERE PROTECTS OUR DNA.

TELOMERES ARE MEASURED IN BASES

  • CONCEPTION WITH: 15,000 BASES
  • BORN WITH: 10,000 BASES
  • DIE WITH: 5,000 BASES

EVERY TIME OUR CELLS DIVIDE, THE TELOMERE BECOMES SHORTER AND THEREFORE THE AGING PROCESS ACCELERATES

WE CANNOT STOP THE PROCESS BUT WE CAN INDEED SLOW IT DOWN BY:

  1. DECREASING CELLULAR INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS
  2. CHANGE THE GENE EXPRESSION THROUGH THE CELLULAR MEMBRANE AND MITOCHONDRIA OF THE CELL

**TOXINS INDUCE THE EXPRESSION OF DISEASE PROMOTING GENES AND THE REDUCTION OF HEALTH PROMOTING GENES.
