TELOMERES MAKES THE NEWS! LIVE YOUNGER AND LONGER!

It may all be in your telomeres.  A new book co-authored by a 2009 Nobel Prize winner says that those shoelace-looking things at the end of your chromosomes determine how and when you begin to show signs of aging.  They may be why some people look and behave younger than others who are chronologically the same age.

The book written by Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn (also on the Scientists' Board at Shaklee Corp.) and psychologist Elissa Epel detail ways average Joes and Janes can protect their telomeres-- and possibly feel better.  The book is "The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier, Longer."

Dr. Blackburn won the nobel prize for her work showing the role of telomeres in disease and aging.  Telomeres protects the genetic material inside your DNA.  People with longer telomeres have lower death rates from cancers and some diseases, but these telomeres tend to shorten as we age.  Certain lifestyle factors also speed up their shortening.

If you would like the article, let me know and I will email it to you.  Also, I can send you a catalog with a product that keeps your telomeres from shortening.  www.healthyhabtistoday.net and leave your contact information.  This is exciting news.  Call me Sunshine!
