Each cell in our bodies has a limited number of times it can divide. The number of times your cells can divide is determined by the rate of loss of the protective caps of each chromosome at each cell division.
These caps are called telomeres. Telomeres are similar to the plastic cap on your shoelaces that prevent the lace from fraying. Once the telomeres are gone, the DNA is unstable and stops dividing.
Lifestyle factors like poor diet, inflammation, or lack of movement can increase your cell divisions and the rate you’re losing the telomeres on your chromosomes.
