How can you avoid infection and live longer while keeping your body strong? What is Genetic Repair?

Your lifestyle has a lot more influence on your longevity than your inherited genetics have. Longevity is influenced by how you express your genes not which genes you happen to be born with. So, you ask, how do you change how you express your genes?

Think of a gene as a single strip of coded information with a tip that is wrapped neatly to prevent it from fraying. It is like a shoelace with a hard plastic tip for threading through your shoes. It is that tip, known as a telomere in our genes that needs to last and not fray or break up. If it breaks up and the gene itself frays there will be a greater incidence of damage to the genes ability to reproduce when it needs to repair tissue damages. Stress is the primary damaging factor for the telomere. Reducing your stress will add durability to your genetic ability so that it can more accurately repair your cells. The genes need to stay unfrayed so that they can reproduce with exact accuracy when the need arises. A frayed gene looses, rearranges and shifts around valuable coding of information. It is a lot like a CD that is damaged and can not be copied by your computer or a corrupted computer file, a frayed gene is not going to be copied accurately when it is needed for repair after injury or illness. It sounds simple, reduce your stress, maintain your genes' telomeres and improve your bodies ability to repair itself.

How can you enhance cell strength?

After looking at how to keep the genetic repair system healthy, we need to learn how to avoid wearing it out. Even the very best made and maintained shoelace will wear out its tip with excessive rethreading. Your body responds to damage the way a fire department responds to a fire. If overused or left un-repaired even the most efficient well-trained fire department will fail eventually. Things that can be avoided like sunburn, damage to the lungs from smoking, alcohol or drug abuse will over tax the repair system and call upon it to respond for repair too frequently. Reduce your exposure to these damaging elements and reduce your stress. You will be well on your way to keeping your cell repair system from wearing out too early.

For your general health a healthy weight is critical to maintaining strong cells. An easy measure of where your waistline should be is to take your height and divide by two. You waist measurement should be no more than half of your height measurement.
