There is a new test out that is available to the public that will be able to test peoples telomerase's which are at the tip on the chromosome that shorts as you age. This test will show if your aging slower in the inside then the average person. Of course aging on the inside will show on the outside because you look youthful for your age. Spectracell laboratories is allowing people to get tested for $290.00. IMHO these test are nuts people will be grouping each other like the devil wanted. I dont like offering tests until we are able to grow them. If you are short telomerase right now no worries, they are trying to figure out how to make them longer. Soon maybe we all could live past 100! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540...37929#43737929
That's fascinating. I was researching telomerase after watching that video. Here's an article on USA Today, it was published 09/10: Here's another site, T.A Sciences. They make telomerase activator as a supplement. I don't think I'll get testing done, but I want to start taking the supplement. It may or may not work... Just wanted to add: The supplement looks like it's harder to get than I thought. I checked Ebay, GNC, VitaCost, High Health... I checked out that website again, and it appears you can only get it from certain doctors.
The show 'How to live to 100' concludes saying the main reason people live to 100 is because they want to. It seems it gets harder from 70 as all of your friends and family drop off all around you, there's only so much love we let oursleves lose. After 90 there's noone around that you love, you've likely lost your lifetime partner, possibly 2 by now and not many people around that understand where you're coming from anymore...life's not as fun as it was...aches and pains seem worse and everything speeds up...really it's you slowing down..takes longer to do anything... You need lots of love from a big family that wants to keep you around that long IMHO. I'm not sure I wanna go that long. I believe in the cycle so will come back refreshed.
