Aging is an important part of life and you can’t predict what will and can happen, telomeres help reduce your lifespan. The telomere is an important stage of the chromosome process and when it occurs, it stops the growing and separation of the chromosome. If the telomere doesn’t perform its function you can get cancer due to uncontrolled cell production. Telomeres have a nice factor to them: they have the ability to regenerate after a short-long period of time, so cells don’t produce rapidly. If drugs were in the use of trying to reduce the spread of cancer and got in the way of the telomere’s process it could end its whole process; killing many cells. Aging can be stopped or delayed if smoking, use of alcohol, wrong use of medications, stress and diseases.
