Longevity ideas

Introduction
This is a list of things that I have read about that are touted to increase longevity.

Telomeres
Telemeres are caps of repetitive DNA that protect the ends of your chromosomes from deteriorating. As your cells duplicate - thus continuing life, the telemeres grow shorter and shorter. Once the telemeres are lost, it is hypothesized that cell duplication ends and therefore so does life. Doctors have therefore been fascinated by ways to prevent the telomeres from reducing and potentially increasing the length of the telomere. That is my non-scientific interpretation - check out Wikipedia if you are more interested in the theory behind this.

It has been theorized that vitamins B12, C, and E may increase the tolemere length.
