All quotes from
Elizabeth and Elissa’s book
Your
telomeres are listening to you. The
foods you eat, your response to challenges, the amount of exercise you get, and
many other factors appear to influence your telomeres and can prevent premature
aging at the cellular level.
Scientists
have learned that several thought patterns appear to be unhealthy for
telomeres, and one of them is cynical hostility. Cynical hostility is defined
by high anger and frequent thoughts that other people cannot be trusted.
When
you ruminate, stress sticks around in the body long after the reason for the
stress is over.
