Grey hair is directly related to telomere shortening (and stress)
More than any other indicator, people find the reversal of grey hair to be a positive sign of getting younger and it is not uncommon to hear these reports from users of TA-65 or the adaptogenic RECHARGE supplement.

Hypertension isn’t the disease, it’s the adaption to loss of arterial integrity
What if I told you that there was only one disease with a thousand faces? Well, hypertension is just one of those conditions caused by the accumulated damage the stem cells of the arteries. That damage is the direct result of telomere attrition and inadequate telomerase activity

Is a sprint between two 90-year-olds an ageist spectacle?
If we couldn’t see their faces and didn’t know their ages, we wouldn’t think this was very athletic. Someday soon, we will not consider age to be very important and the existence of a contest between two genetically-damaged individuals will not be elevated to a noble spectacle but will seem exploitative.
Alpha dogs enjoy longer telomeres
It would seem that social rank has it’s privileges. This study of hyenas showed that the most dominant members had the longest telomeres. Perhaps telomere length is a measure of fitness or perhaps the higher rank confers less stress. But probably it’s a little of both.
