Telomeres are protein that wrap DNA at the end of chromosomes, just like a protective sheath, similar to the plastic cap at the end of shoelaces. With the division of human cells, telomeres will become shorter and shorter. Once a cell divides, telomeres become shorter. The shorter telomeres, the easier it is for people to age. On the contrary, people are younger and healthier
