Telomeres constitute the distal portion of chromosomes comprising the genetic material. These structures are said to influence the rate of cellular aging. A healthy diet, proper exercise, stress management and a supportive social network may lead to longer telomeres, based on a preliminary investigation by scientists at the University of California San Francisco and the Preventive Medicine Research Institute.
Longer telomeres may prevent the cells from aging faster a
