Review: Fascinating and Helpful Book! Read It! - The Telomere Effect is a fascinating blend of cutting-age science and lifestyle coach. The science deals with the amazing world of telomeres, tiny areas at the tips of our chromosomes that determine how fast our cells age and die. But telomeres aren't some kind of immutable pre-coded devices that, once activated, can't be altered to slow the aging process. We can improve and maintain the health of our telomeres, and maximize what the authors describe as our "healthspans," the number of years of healthy living we can enjoy. While we were each dealt a particular genetic hand at birth, there are still ways we can enhance and prolong our healthspans. Some we already know about, such as diet and exercise. And it's not too late to start. The book demonstrates how changes in eating and physical activity can slow down or even reverse the aging trajectory. The authors include lots of examples and tips to help make these changes. Of equal, if not more importance, is the psychological component--the management of stress. The authors make a compelling case that telomere health can be greatly affected by relaxation, meditation, and other stress reduction techniques, truly a mind over matter phenomenon. Written simply and eloquently in language that even a liberal art major can comprehend, this is the most "understandable" science book I've ever read. It's also very empowering, because we are convincingly shown how our active choices can promote a longer and healthier life, rather than passive acquiescence in the aging process.
Review: Beautiful book from the person who discovered telomeres herself - Blackburn is the definition of an expert in the field and she wrote a book to match that expertise. The telomere effect is a great book, not overly scientific to the point it is excess or boring, but perfectly so to keep the reader engaged. She explains the science very well and highlights wonderful real-world examples and shows you what you can do to maximize your health and telomere length. Here are a few quick ones I would recommend from the book and my experience: 1) Get your vitamin D: 2000+ IU a day has been shown to increase telomere length by 20% 2) reduce stress and maximize eustress 3) get your exercise 4) healthy self talk: eliminate the negativity I have spent years researching aging and this book is a vital key in that puzzle. Absolutely would recommend it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solidly sourced and informative read. Recommend
*by R***Y on September 29, 2019*

The authors detailed a fairly comprehensive analysis of the telomeres that play so much into our health. Gut bacteria to length of telomeres, stresses in one's youth that can affect our longevity. A good read. Educational. Thought-provoking. The Kindle version that I had doesn't show charts and diagrams as well as in print was about my only quibble.
