Most disease is diet, exercise, lifestyles that damage genes, chromosomes.
The ends of the chromosome are sealed by telomeres that are
like the end of shoestrings are sealed by plastic, glue,….
Stress, bad diet, lack of exercise, lack of sleep will shrink your telomeres so damage your genes, chromosomes,… health.
Parents pass on broken genes to their offspring.

Listen to it several times.
Exercise more - try dozens of different sports, several per day.
I was aware of this research almost since day 1.
I probably saw the Nobel Prize Winner in Berkeley or San Francisco but don't remember her.

Why do some people appear to age more rapidly than others?
Not only might they look older, they actually feel older as well.
A check of their telomeres indicates that they are aging more rapidly at the cellular levels.
Their telomeres are shrinking.
Small telomeres foretell a shortened healthspan.
LEARNING ABOUT TELOMERES:
So what is a telomere?
This is the term for the noncoding DNA that appears at the end of each gene-bearing chromosome like the plastic tip at the end of a shoelace.
And, like that shoelace tip, the telomere protects the chromosome as it does its work.
Telomeres are tiny to start with, and they get shorter with each cell division.
Telomeres have an important impact on health, but conversely, lifestyle makes a big difference for telomeres.
Some of the ways we live shorten them more quickly, while others can actually help them grow longer.
WHAT IS THE TELOMERE EFFECT?
How do telomeres respond to stress?
(They don't like it.)
Inflammation can make them shrink, as well.
Exercise helps them grow longer even as it strengthens your muscles.
Find out how
mindfulness,
meditation and a
Mediterranean diet can affect your telomeres and your healthspan.
THIS WEEK'S GUESTS:
Elizabeth Blackburn, PhD, received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009 alongside two colleagues for discovering telomerase.
They also investigated telomeres' role in the aging process.
She is currently president of the Salk Institute.
Blackburn was elected president of the American Association for Cancer Research
In 2007, she was named one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people.
Elissa Epel, PhD, is a leading health psychologist who studies stress, aging, and obesity.
She is the director of the Aging, Metabolism, and Emotions Center at the
University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Epel is associate director of the Center for Health and Community.
She is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and serves on scientific advisory committees for the
National Institutes of Health, and the
Mind and Life Institute.
She has received awards from Stanford University,
the Society of Behavioral Medicine, and the
American Psychological Association.
Drs. Blackburn and Epel are co-authors of
The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier, Longer.
Meidinger said that the attacks on teachers were primarily driven by cultural and religious attitudes held by Arab and North African teens who do not respect women.
Anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish children are increasing too as more migrant children carry knives and pepper spray.
"A Jewish girl was threatened with death by her classmates and time and time again there are anti-Semitic attacks in Berlin,
the huge influx of Muslim migrants since 2015 "has aggravated the problem."
discovered images of ISIS flags and severed heads on the cellphones of hundreds of asylum seekers crossing into Norway.
According to the report, after searching luggage and mobile phones belonging to migrants, police logged "hundreds" of examples of "photos and videos of executions and brutal punishments, such as images of people holding up severed heads or hands."
Last year, we also highlighted how an Arab Christian Pastor who visited numerous different
