What Are Telomeres?
Telomeres are like the plastic tips on shoelaces, protecting the ends of chromosomes from damage. As we age, telomeres naturally shorten. The length of your telomeres can provide valuable information about your cellular health and biological age.
Why Measure Telomere Length?
Understanding your telomere length can offer insights into:
- Cellular aging process
- Potential longevity
- Overall health status
- Effectiveness of lifestyle choices
Knowing your telomere length allows you to take proactive steps in supporting your cellular health.
