so this is the video you’ve been waiting  for how does one increase their telomere  

length and live longer all right so let me  just give you a little background first okay  

in your cells you have the center part which is  the nuclei okay inside the nucleus you have your  

dna and that dna is bundled within structures  called chromosomes and the chromosomes carry  

the genetic information in the form of genes  all right so what is a telomere the greek word  

for telomere is broken down into two parts we have  telos which means end and morose which means part  

it’s the end part if we take a look at a shoe  string that’s what a telomere is it’s a little  

plastic protective mechanism at the end of your  chromosome because the shorter it gets the faster  

you age and the more diseases you get as our cells  divide our chromosomes need to replicate because  

we need this complete set and every time they  replicate or divide these telomeres get shorter  

and shorter and shorter and many scientists claim  that the shorter the telomeres the faster you age  

and develop more diseases but there are  epigenetic factors that can help you  

and even hurt you now epigenetics is about  what’s above genes what controls your genetics  

because you’re not limited to your genes there are  environmental things there’s foods there’s herbs  

there’s things that you can do and avoid that  can greatly affect your telomeres and your age  

all right are you ready okay here are the  things that hurt your telomeres for diet i’m  

talking about sugar refined foods etc obesity  surprise lack of exercise lack of sleep stress  

smoking alcohol and pollution probably know of  people that actually fit every single one of those  

things and usually they don’t live too long  so now what are the epigenetic factors that  

help increase the telomere length omega-3 fatty  acids there’s an interesting video that i did  

on omega-3 fatty acids that reveals some data in  a study that shows that you can extend your life  

by five years by consuming regular foods  that are high in omega-3 fatty acids  

that’s the fatty fish like the salmon  the cod of oil it’s the sardines  

all right number two astragalus this is an  adrenal adaptogen something that helps you  

counter stress next one good cola i did a video on  this i’ll put a link down below alright next one  

is green tea now green tea is good for just about  everything next one curcumin then we get vitamin d  

which is good for about everything as well  and foods that are high in zinc oysters  

clams shellfish and then we get exercise  regular consistent exercise of course with good  

recovery right that includes the next one sleep  if you have chronic insomnia that is a huge  

thing that can hurt you with these telomeres okay  keep your stress on the low side and last one  

is something that’s probably going to really  surprise you consuming a healthy diet and if  

you’re new to my channel i put the link down  below of exactly what i’m talking about when i  

say healthy diet all right thanks for watching hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my  

content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
