Aging? Slow Down the Process

By Bryon Zirker

Some good news for the occasional drinker.
A study by the U.S. Institute on Aging showed
that men and women ages 70-79 who consume
one up to seven alcoholic beverages per week
had a lower risk of death (26 percent lower) and
lower risk of heart attack (30 percent lower).

An alternative to drinking in order to slow
the aging process however, would be to take
Vitamin C, proven to slow the loss of telomere
by 62 percent.

Never heard of telomere? Its Ok most people
have not. When your cells divide, a portion of
your DNA on the end of the chromosome is lost.
This is the telomere. How many times your cells
divide is determined by this little portion of
your DNA.

When your cells stop dividing you die. So cell
division determines lifespan.

Taking 500mg of vitamin C twice daily in order
to slow the shortening of the telomere is
recommended. This can add years to your life.
Taking 4,000 to 6,000 mg's of vitamin C per day
will give you maximum protection.
