Another Way to Slow Down the Aging Process: Use Telomeres Custom Search the down payment for good health" 
By Al Sears, MD Telomeres - If you like to have the occasional drink, I have good news. The U.S. Institute on Aging recently finished a study of men and women ages 70 to 79. They found that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption - one to seven drinks a week - lowered the risk of death by 26 percent and the risk of heart attack by 30 percent. But there's no reason to take up drinking just to slow down the aging process. Vitamin C - a powerful nutrient - has been proven to do it by slowing down the loss of something called the telomeres ... by as much as 62 percent. If you've never heard of the telomere, don't feel bad. Most people haven't. But it's something you need to know about. Every time your cells divide, a tiny portion of your DNA at the end of each chromosome is lost. That piece is the telomere - and its length determines how many times your cells can divide. Simply stated, cell division determines lifespan. And when your cells stop dividing, death occurs. You should take at least 500 mg of vitamin C twice a day to slow the shortening of the telomeres. This precaution will add years to your life. For maximum protection, take 4,000 to 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C a day. [Ed.
