I want to help you develop your skills—spiritual, mental and physical—to help you be super productive for the LORD the rest of your life. My purpose in this message is present some very simple KEYS to assist you in a successful future. ________________________________________ HEALTH, TELOMERES AND AGING PROLONGING YOUR LIFE You probably have specific goals defined—either mentally or written—for short, medium or long term seasons. Let me assist you in accomplishing those with some very simple steps, as well as some information to enlighten you physiologically. I want to focus on prolonging your life. The longer you live, the more you can accomplish. When you're dead, you can't help anyone here on earth! I want, also, to present information on one of your best biological tools: telomeres! WHERE ARE TELOMERES A telomere is the end of a chromosome. Telomeres are made of repetitive sequences of non-coding DNA that protect your chromosomes from damage. Each time a cell divides, the telomeres become shorter. Eventually, the telomeres become so short that the cell can no longer divide. Also, telomeres keep the chromosome from becoming frazzled or damaged. And every time the cell divides, the telomeres also divide. But sometimes they can become shorter. And as telomeres become shorter, that's a clock that the cell is counting to know how old it is, and that will limit how many times the cell can divide without losing some of the important DNA on the chromosome. HOW TELOMERES FUNCTION AND HOW OUR BODIES AGE As more of our cells lose their telomeres and go out of commission, without others to take their place, the body follows and begins breaking down. And telomeres don’t leave (or shorten) quietly. Their shortening process has been linked with aging, cancer and a higher risk of death. [1] WHAT YOU CAN DO TO POSSIBLY IMPROVE YOUR TELOMERES While science still isn’t 100 percent sure HOW telomere length affects how we age, it’s clear that the longer our telomeres are, the better. The good news is that there are a variety of lifestyle changes you can make today to lengthen your telomeres. [2] Below I have listed four (4) lifestle changes you might want to try. 1. Control and Reduce Stress Study the following teachings by Prince Handley pertaining to stress: “Stress, Anxiety and Your Brain” “Dealing with Stress in the End Times” “Healing from Stress” Don't forget to REST. “In returning and rest you shall be saved;In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” (Isaiah 30:15) 2. Exercise Regularly You can NOT serve God effectively if you do not feel well. Eat right … exercise right … think right. Listen, see and speak right. Remember the three monkeys you learned about in grade school: "Hear no evil; see no evil; and speak no evil?" In clandestine op situations―like Special Forces and US Navy Seal operations―you must learn to observe the environment: to size it up. It is the same with YOUR every day life. Stop, look and listen. What's going on? Is something “out of place” … stealing your peace? Get back on track. The faster you get back on track, the LESS STRESS you will have in life … and you will be more effective in serving God productively … with a longer life! 3. Eat Right and Fast Occasionally Your mind―and therefore your body―can be abused by many things. At times there are hindrances to healing: things or conditions that are causing the sickness or affliction, and that must be dealt with before healing can take place permanently. Foods high in vitamins are believed to protect cells and their telomeres from oxidative damage. A diet high in antioxidant foods, like berries and artichokes, can slow down aging and help prevent or reduce cell damage. Additionally, taking a multivitamin supplement to bridge the gap between the foods you’re eating and what your body needs might lengthen telomeres as well. One study found that women who took a daily supplement had telomeres that were about 5 percent longer than nonusers. [3] Proper nutrition, rest, sunshine, and exercise are all beneficial to a proper mental attitude and maintenance of good health. Scriptural fasting and honoring the Lord’s Day or Sabbath contribute, also, to a proper mental attitude; and are laws of God with built-in bonuses of health and ...
