Google teelomeres....it is quite fascinating about telomere degradation/mutation after repeated replications. Degradation of telemeres is one area studied under cancer cell analysis. Also implicated in again.

Fascinating indeed and from what i've read the jury is still out on whether preventing telomere shortening translates into longevity. The analogy given in various literature was wrinkles and losing hair, you can slow them down and reverse them to a certain extent but you are not actually getting younger, you just "look" younger. Personally, i am unconvinced yet but i take my supplements nonetheless. I'd rather err on the side of them being useless.
Curious as to which test dest takes to measure length?
Well yes the idea is not that you are going to live to 120 but that addressing issues with telomeres could prevent or significantly delay many degenerative diseases. You are going to decay in one form or another but hopefully avoid Alzheimers/Parkinsons or other similar fates (or reduce risks).
Personally I have not done the research on how to support telomere health as I am still in the phase of learning how their degradation causes many things haha

Yes, but the longer the telomeres, the more styling options you have.
Supplements as a Pascal's Wager. I like it.
You'll be taking handfuls of EVERYTHING should you insist on Pascal's wager?

Good post / great post. I've been thinking about adding NAC, but i avoid anything i think may be hard on the stomach. I'm 62 and started Bioinnovations Probiotics about 4 years ago. Best thing i ever took for me.
Recently, after reading this https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-what-youre-eating-study-suggests/1206269002/ I am avoiding anything but black coffee until after 11am and so far i feel better. Some days I've waited til 2pm with no ill effects. But once i start, i tend to make up for lost calories.
Yeah, you can also try a modified IF. You fast for 24 hours by eating within a one hour window. Say you eat in an one-hour window from 11-Noon. The following day's window is from Noon-1pm. 1-2pm the next, and so on. I've not done it in a while but it's not difficult to maintain.
Aerobic: Concept2 rower. At least two 5Ks per day, but I warm-up with a pace that hits low 140s for 3 minutes prior to the 5K row.
Anaerobic: I lift one day on, one off. I reset the schedule if I miss a day; I do not do make-ups.
Current workouts:
Day1: SQ. Warm-up with 40 unbroken thrusters at 100lbs. 10 minute rest and another 20 unbroken at 120lbs. 6 sets of squats; front-rear alternating. Currently 230 fronts; 280 rear; high-rep. I drop reps.
Day3: Bench/pushups (close grip). Oly snatch (PR hit 240 for 1).
Day5: DLs. Overheads. Biceps as only isolation. Speed bag.
Day7: Heavy bag and wrestling.
I take BCAA immediately post-workout.
