How old do you feel? What are telomeres? What role do they play in the aging process? What can you start doing today to live a longer life?    In this episode of HYDRATE, Robert Slovak, Dr. Ray Bisevac and I chat about the aging process on a cellular level.  We know that our cells constantly replicate themselves, and within an average of 7 years, our bodies are entirely made of new cells. However, what most of us don’t realize is that errors within cells are also replicated, causing cells to die off prematurely. One of these errors which can cause our bodies to become less resilient and age quicker is the shortening of the telomeres.    Plus, Dr. Ray talks about interesting studies which shows us that the age participants felt they were, which is their subjective age, was apparent when when looking at their cells and DNA structure. This is why Dr. Ray recommends we live a passionate and full life, as it will make us feel younger, and not older.   What we discuss…   01:32 - Ray’s family history with herbs and healing 15:30: How Ray got into functional medicine 18:45 - How modern pharmaceutical medicine failed us 24:20- The paradox of health with holistic doctors 29:55 - Is it possible that we infringe on the faith of humanity? 33:12 - Why cells aren't supposed to be dying 34:00 - Where do we get our ideas of perfection? 41:00 - Stories of illness, aging, and God 49:50 - How our bodies replicate cells 53:46: How old are we, really? 54:48: How to lengthen your telomeres   Robert Slovak is an International water scientist and is regarded as one of the world’s foremost water experts.
