Greens, Green Tea, and Nuts Put to the Test for Telomeres

Not all plant foods are linked to less cellular aging based on telomere attrition, and not all animal foods are linked to more. If you missed the previous video, see What to Eat to Prevent Telomere Shortening (). My earlier telomere videos are Does Meditation Affect Cellular Aging? () and Telomeres: Cap It All off with Diet (). If you’re interested in more information on telomeres, I’ve got you covered with How Not to Age (), my new book coming out in December. Stay tuned for the book trailer. It’s coming soon! As always, all proceeds from my books are donated to charity. New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift.
