:clap:
You crack me up Liv. :D
I can imagine in the future, a calming computer voice from a microchip will say...

"Your Telomeres are shortening today. Please make your way to the meditation lounge, and stay there until they reach optimal length again" :P

Telomeres and Cancer

Really interesting finding about the tips of our chromosomes, called Telomeres, that shorten with age, and cause disease. implications, and applications, still being assessed by scientists.

A great analogy is that the ends are like shoe lace tips that protect the actual lace. when the tips break off, the laces can fray, and not function well.
