How Stress Affects Our Telomeres (Chromosome / DNA)

Info on telomeres and anti-aging is available at whatisatelomere.info

Filmen "Stress: Portrait of a Killer" med Robert Sapolsky er en "must see" i forståelsen af stress, og hvordan stress påvirker vores helbred. Tak for at gøre dette klip af filmen offentligt og nemt tilgængelig. Specielt er forskningen omkring telomers banebrydende!

Nature makes perfect sense once again. Before civilization 10,000 years ago, any child born with disabilities would not be able to survive. Nature punished the mother through increased stress, decreased telomeres, and thus shortened lifespan. In Nature's eyes, this is how Nature dealt with supposed undesirables. This would be how natural law would play out prior to the start of our agrarian society.

This is a very nice video and people who are interested in this topic additionally should notice the paper by Choi and coworkers (2008) who showed that cortisol causes a decrease of telomerase activity in vitro. I myself investigated telomere shortening in patients with depression and also found a massive telomere erosion based on hypercortisolism due to chronically perceived stress......it's a highly interesting field of research
