Numbness in the hands and arms usually occurs as a result of peripheral neuropathy. Numbness in the hands and arms is usually caused by some type of peripheral neuropathy, which is a problem with the peripheral nerves that affects the way sensory information is carried from the central nervous system. Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by damage to the nerve or excess pressure exerted on the nerve.
As a cell ages, its telomeres become shorter. Eventually, the telomeres become too short to allow cell replication, the cell stops dividing and will ultimately die - a normal biological process. SpectraCellâs Telomere Test can determine the length of a patientâs telomeres in relation to the patientâs age.
And the science clearly shows that nutrition can slow the rate of biological aging. A number of health concepts contribute to this view. In this article, I examine the emerging body of nutritional science in the context of improving your telomeres, a key approach to true anti-aging. A telomere is a repeating sequence of DNA at the end of a chromosome. Each time a cell replicates and divides, the telomere loses some of its length. Eventually the telomere runs out, and the cell can no longer divide and rejuvenate, triggering a poor state of cell health that contributes to disease risk and eventual cell death.
