Why do people of the same age age age differently?

Why do some people of the same age aging fast, while some people age slowly?

From the appearance, some people look younger, while some people show older, what is the truth behind this?

It may be that their ages are not the same as we traditionally perceive them to be and that the true age is most likely not related to their birth date, but the length of their chromosomal telomeres.

Blackburn, a Nobel Prize winner in biology, experimented over four years and finally uncovered the secret of human longevity and aging once and for all.

After this issue, if we do what Blackburn said, then it is likely that we will slow down our aging in the future.

First of all, if we want to slow down our aging, we have to figure out what controls how fast or slow our body ages.

We all know that our body cells are constantly being replaced, and if the body's cells could divide indefinitely, then that would mean that our body could achieve immortality and stay young forever.

But the reality is that it is impossible to achieve this goal.

The key to the problem is that there is a limit to the number of times our cells can divide, and cell division cannot continue indefinitely, and the substance that determines the upper limit of cell division is the length of the telomeres at the end of the chromosomes.

The more times a cell divides, the longer the chromosome telomeres will shorten, and the more times it divides, the longer the chromosome telomeres will shorten.

When the length of chromosome telomeres reaches the limit, our cells will not continue to divide.

So this is also evidence that the difference in how quickly our body ages is related to how quickly our chromosomal telomeres shorten.

Blackburn, over four years, studied a group of mothers who had to take care of sick children for a long time.

These chronically stressed mothers were the subjects of the experiment. Then they studied the length of their chromosomal telomeres.

The results showed that these chronically stressed mothers had significantly more shortened chromosomal telomeres than their counterparts in the outside world.

Each mother was exposed to a different environmental stressor, and the more stressful the environment, the faster the chromosomal telomeres shortened.

The more stressful the environment, the faster the chromosomal telomeres will shorten, and the less stressful the environment. The rate of chromosomal telomere shortening is slightly slower.

But among all these reference subjects, some mothers were also found who could maintain the normal level of chromosome telomere shortening.

Finally, through questioning, Blackburn found that these mothers who could maintain a normal rate of shortening of their chromosomal telomeres did not treat their children as a liability.

Nor do they see the situation they are in as stressful, but rather as a challenge in their lives.

They have a positive mindset, a mindset full of positive energy.

So the key to controlling how fast or slow the chromosome telomeres shorten is to regulate the emotions with which you view environmental stress.

Negative emotions shorten chromosomal telomeres faster, while positive emotions shorten chromosomal telomeres slightly slower.

In addition, Blackburn's final experiment concluded that four factors that can affect our body telomere changes are hostility, anger, hate, complaints, and depression because these negative emotions will affect our body's nervous system.

Further, stimulate the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol.

This is why we often see the phenomenon that some people's bodies collapse immediately after learning that they have a serious illness. The difference from the state before they did not know they had the disease is particularly obvious.

We also hear examples of people who have a good mindset and overcome cancer.
