What are telomeres?
Take a moment and picture the plastic tips on shoelaces -- they protect the ends and stop the string from fraying. That’s one way researchers use to describe telomeres -- caps of DNA at the ends of chromosomes that protect your cells from aging. Short telomeres have been linked to premature aging, chronic disease, and early death.

The rate at which telomeres shorten could determine the pace at which you age. Telomeres naturally shorten over time, but certain habits, like smoking, excessive stress, not exercising, and a diet full of processed foods can accelerate the process.
