There was only one doctor who told him to do the opposite of the Polio experts and stay active and that was the only advice his soul was willing and able to hear.
A study out of Princeton looking at 1,567 9-yo children found that for each hour less than the recommended 9-11 hours of sleep, they averaged 1.5% shorter telomeres.
Because I am an active listener and don’t take controversial positions unless I really know you well, people tend to tell off-color jokes around me.
There was an article that hit the newswires suggesting that alcoholism is associated with shorter telomeres.
In a 2017 study of 129 mothers, researchers at UCSF found that having sexual intercourse was associated with longer telomeres, which are associated with better health and increased longevity.
I have noted that over the last nine years, taking telomerase activators in my patients can lead to increases but that this does not result in continuous lengthening. Now, we understand why this is the case.
