The secret to life's length, it seems
Lies within your telomeres' strands
As these genetic caps endure
The body's age remains more mature
So age gracefully with these protective bands

@Geoffberner @BE
You’ve the best anecdotes b/c it frames the problems we are having society wide in very specific details

most of my life was the youngest of all my friends by 17-32 yrs so have had the benefit of seeing irl what happens decades in advance

was a weird child who wished to be old tho lol; blame reading Great Expectations at age 9

most don’t think about aging, which is going to come as a shock when it becomes apparent how rapid is on one’s

OK, so I'm thinking if I dip my DNA in varnish, maybe that will make my telomeres last longer? :P

WRITER FUEL Telomeres are sections of DNA that are found at the ends of chromosomes and seem to play a role in aging. LiveScience tells us all about them.

Btw my SIL response was “What did the doctor say” & this is why we are in the predicament that we are…

the stress this is doing to my poor spouse’s is infuriating

hence we went the minimizer route; we don’t understand what is happening🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️… “after 3 infections (rounding up from 2.5 is a thing right?) her is weaker than prior so she’s getting sick all the time now” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Oh the lies we’re forced to tell

Michael Mina is predicting 50 yrs into the future for those who are 20 yrs old today having problems when they’re 70, but there is ZERO chance a 20 year old today in 2023 will live 50 years if they keep getting

We are all David Bowie aging 65 years in a single afternoon like he did in The Hunger..

Has anyone noticed all the sudden gray hair everyone got over-night?

“Shorter can be linked to multiple changes in the brain associated with … The associations suggest that accelerated aging in the brain, as indicated by telomere length, could represent a biological pathway that leads to neurodegenerative disease.”

holistichealth.one/anti-aging- New 2023 Natural Anti Aging Regimen. Aging is a fact of life, but you don't have to look your calendar age, in fact you can look 20 years younger by using the latest discoveries like autophagy, carbon 60, near infrared therapy. These natural supplements (one created by a Nobel Prize winner) causes natural cell regeneration of all cells, including brain, nervous system and organs. It can spur telomeres to lengthen and stem cells to activate.

@carlos @edsuom @EndemicDelusions
Look at us imagining scenarios constantly..

don’t think seen 🐸🥘water mentioned often, but that’s EXACTLY what it is

like Ed also (strongly) believed after midterms Democrats would pivot me, but now see they’re all ghouls
Given up completely on convincing anyone but morbid calculating for my own sanity

Just saw this today & know he’s 60 but…is it just me or he didn’t look 15 yrs older just a year ago🤷🏻‍♀️

The telomeric lncRNA known as is no longer “non coding”! Jack Griffith and colleagues 👏 found out that are actually translated into val-arg and gly-leu repeat peptides! This is most unexpected without a possible function in sight! Amazing! 😳 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2221
