There are various species of animals that either live a very long time and / or do not die of old age. Some examples are the tortoise & lobster species that live to be over 130 years old naturally and don’t usually die unless they get sick or are killed.
After we become adults our cells eventually stop self-replicating. Geneticist Leonard Hayflick figured out that each of our cells divide about 50 times and then they stop. The DNA (De-Oxy RIBo-nucleic Acid) telomeres becomes shorten. The telomeres when lengthened turns back years in human cells. Once all of our cells stop replicating we start to deteriorate and then eventually die. This discovery showed that we are actually programmed to die biologically. Scientists everywhere are on a search for the secret to reprogram our cells so that we can bypass this rule and find a way to stop humans from dying of old age.
According to the research on worms and mice, changing our genetic codes can lengthen our lives. There are very specific genes in our body that cause us to grow, and other genes that help us maintain our health and fight off diseases. After we are full grown adults we should be able to shift the energy from our growing genes and into our maintenance genes which in turn would double our life span. A new study by researchers in Wisconsin, Spain, and France reports the first evidence of specific molecular changes in the body following a period of intensive mindfulness practice.
According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, gene activity can change on a daily basis. If the perception in your mind is reflected in the chemistry of your body, and if your nervous system reads and interprets the environment and then controls the blood’s chemistry, then you can literally change the fate of your cells by altering your thoughts.
In fact, Dr. Lipton’s research illustrates that by changing your perception, your mind can alter the activity of your genes and create over thirty thousand variations of products from each gene. He gives more detail by saying that the gene programs are contained within the nucleus of the cell, and you can rewrite those genetic programs through changing your blood chemistry. In the simplest terms, this means that we need to change the way we think if we are to heal and promote longevity.
“Our genes are quite dynamic in their expression and these results suggest that the calmness of our mind can actually have a potential influence on their expression,” Davidson says.
