Telomeres and Telomerase: Aging Theory and Nutritional Applications

The video explains telomeres, their role in DNA replication, and the consequences of their shortening, which leads to cellular aging. It discusses factors like environmental influences, diet, and stress that affect telomere length. The video also covers methods to reduce stress and the role of telomerase in maintaining telomere length.
