How to prevent aging.

The telomeres from our X-chromosomes grow shorter as they split, causing us to age. If we can prevent them from becoming shorter, we would stay young longer and we would be able to add years to our lifespans. This has been done to rats in science labs. The scientists did a special experiment with rats. The rats maintained their youth and lived longer than others. The longer the telomeres, the longer we can live and vice versa. With long telomeres, we would be able to maintain our youth longer.
