heart disease and diabetes. An individuals rate
of ageing will vary according to genetics

With telomere testing, we can now assess an
individuals biological age and consequently
their susceptibility to certain
diseases. Telomeres are the protective caps on
the ends of chromosomes and as all cells
replicate and age, the telomeres get shorter.
Cells with short telomeres lose function and die
this is an essential part of the ageing process
on a cellular level.

The length of telomeres (and the ageing process)
can be altered by lifestyle changes such as
exercise, stopping smoking, reducing alcohol,
changes in nutrition, reducing stress and
improving sleep.
Telomere testing has the following

Essentially by identifying an individual showing

programme to slow or reverse telomere loss and
consequently slow down the ageing process and
reduce risk of developing age-related disease.
