“FTA: > An association between biological changes on the cellular level and both childhood adversity and psychiatric disorders has been identified by researchers. These changes in the form of telomere shortening and alterations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are important in the aging process.”

“00:52:40 - The omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) reduced symptoms of bipolar depression. Study. 00:54:25 - Telomere length is biomarker for aging.”

“FTA: > Mild infections without symptoms of illness can still lead to serious consequences by reducing the lifespan of the infected individuals, research shows. A new study has been carried out on malaria-infected migratory birds. The infection is thought to speed up the aging process by shortening the telomeres (i.e., the chromosomes ends) at a faster rate and thereby accelerating senescence.”

“Exercise is a huge driver of how well we age because it induces profound molecular shifts that support immune health and might even protect our telomeres – indicators of aging. Exercise might help forestall certain age-related diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, too.”

“Participants reported their activity by recording which, if any, of 62 physical activities they participated in during the past 30 days and how often. Telomere length and cell senescence are closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress.”

“Babies born during a coal plant’s operation in China had shorter telomeres than those born after the plant’s closure. Earlier studies found that a pollutant in coal plant emissions called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), was able to damage DNA in infants but that this occurred at lower levels in the cohort of babies born after the plant had shut down, indicating less exposure.”

“Following all 60 treatments, telomere length increased by 30 percent in T-helper cells, 38 percent in B cells, and 22 percent in natural killer cells. Demonstrating further benefit, hyperbaric treatment reduced the number of senescent T-helper cells by 12 percent and cytotoxic T cells by 11 percent after 60 sessions.”

“Study. 02:03:39 - People who took 1500 IUs of vitamin D a day had a 17 percent reduced cancer risk overall. [Study needed] 02:04:15 - Women who self-reported that they took multivitamin supplements on a daily basis had the longest telomeres.”

“But the effects of liquid sugar extend to longevity, as well. In fact, consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with dramatically accelerated telomere shortening – equivalent to as much as five years of a person's life.”

“Sugar causes the shortening of the telomeres, accelerating the aging process. Reducing sugar intake can have profound, immediate effects Studies in which refined sugar is removed from the diet have demonstrated the remarkable resiliency of the human body.”
