Well, this is latest scientific fact! What are Telomeres? Scientists have explained that Telomeres are protective caps made of DNA proteins that are found on the ends of the human cells' chromosomes. Scientists believe telomeres get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any further and it dies. More importantly, recent scientific research have shown that the telomere length can...

Scientists believe telomeres get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any further and it dies. More importantly, recent scientific research have shown that the telomere length can be linked with signs of aging, risk for genetic disorders and longevity. Ahead of all, the telomere length is recognized as a biomarker of aging, with the caps shortening over time as people age... Other medical and scientific research have brought up evidence showing that individuals who inherited longer telomeres ( see Chapter " Cell growth ") have the capacity to live longer as well as they can age better. However, people who have shorter telomeres are more likely to experience onset of agingrelated heart disease and cancer5! Yet, it is known that people who are in their late 50s and older with shorter telomeres are at a greate
