Today’s book: The Telomere Effect by Elizabeth Blackburn & Elissa Epel—how small lifestyle choices can protect your telomeres, slow aging, and extend your healthspan.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Telomeres protect your DNA. These caps at the end of your chromosomes determine how quickly your cells age.
- Chronic stress shortens telomeres. High cortisol levels accelerate aging—relaxation and mindfulness help preserve health.
- Exercise slows aging. Regular movement keeps telomeres long, boosting longevity and disease resistance.
- Sleep is critical. Poor sleep damages telomeres—prioritize quality rest for long-term well-being.
- Food fuels your cells. Whole, nutrient-dense foods support cellular repair and longevity.
Aging is inevitable, but how you age is up to you. What’s one habit you can improve today to protect your future health?
