ADVANCES IN LONGIVITY
Healthy habits can actually repair your DNA,say researchers Drs Dean Ornish and ElizabethBlackburn.their study subjects ate vegetarian whole foods with 10% of calories from fat,walked 30 minutes six days a week,used stress reducing techniques and went to a weakly support group
THE RESULTS?Besides a decrease in LDL cholesterol and stress levels,they showed a 29% rise in telomerase.This enzyme repairs and lengthens telomeres,tiny protein complexes on the ends of chromosomes that are vital for immunity and longevity.short telomeres and low level of teleromerase signal an increased risk of heart disease and cancer plus a por prognosis if you do get ill.
