I know. Not a household word, but one we all need to know. Tonight at work I was browsing the Koko Stronger Blog and today’s entry was about telomeres being the fountain of youth we all search for. The easiest way to explain it (according to the blog) is to picture a shoelace with the plastic end on it as a strand of our DNA. The plastic thing represents the telomere on the end of our shoelace. Over time that telomere grows shorter. Once it’s gone the DNA starts unraveling like a shoelace with no plastic thing left on it. Ooh. That can’t be good. I don’t like the sound of my DNA unraveling and I don’t want to picture me with fraying DNA spouting in all directions. I guess it is kind of important to learn about our telomeres and how to keep them intact, so today I want to share this very important information with you.
Read Telomeres and the Fountain of Yourh and get started on lengthening yours today.
And so, as another day goes by, remember: take good care of your body, otherwise where will you live? And…I have written.
