Acupuncture Can Stop You From Aging; Part 2

This is a continuation of the idea that acupuncture can lengthen telomeres which are like caps on the ends of DNA. Read the previous blog post, Acupuncture Can Stop You From Aging; Part 1.

How can I lengthen my telomeres?

The obvious answers are striving to get enough exercise, eating a pristine diet that is high in organic fruits and vegetables, grass fed, free range, hormone free meats and eggs and avoiding sugar, seed oils, alcohol, nicotine, processed carbs and so on.  But, researchers have concluded it is not just about eating right and working out. Numerous studies, all the way from Harvard University to UCSF, have shown the primary contributor to cellular aging isn’t fast food or a sedentary lifestyle, it’s stress. Accelerated cell aging has now been associated with many stress-related conditions, including trauma exposure, major depression and other psychiatric disorders.

In Chinese medicine, we believe that almost every symptom the body experiences stems from stress.  Stress wreaks havoc on the organ system creating stagnation and/or disharmony of Qi, Blood and other important substances.  So, logics will tell us that if acupuncture treats stress and balances the body overall, then it must lengthen telomeres.

Our recommendation for our patients that are symptom free is to receive acupuncture once a month, this will help de-stress and bring down inflammation overall, thereby creating the enzyme telomerase by doing the following:

  • Decreasing inflammation
  • Building immunity
  • Strengthening the gastro-intestinal system
  • Enhancing circulation
  • Regulating brain chemistry and hormones
  • Relaxing the nervous system
  • Energetically clearing trauma
  • Opening the meridians and creating a clear connection to the associated organ system hereby eradicating stress and free radicals.
  • And lengthening telomeres!

We are your support system for anti-aging, but more importantly for a long, healthy life!
