So you're probably wondering what the heck are Telomeres?
In truth, they maybe the one thing to either reverse and maintain the aging process. HOWEVER, there is just minor one problem.. No one knows how to reverse the aging process, which also means no one knows how to stop your telomeres from wearing out. I'll get into the answer of why in a minute, right now I want to make a comparison to the "whole" aging process thing in relative theory using a certain fictional blood-sucking character that many have seen on the silver screen a dozen times in their life.
So think about those vampire movies you watched as a kid (despite the fact that there are some pretty bad ass ones today worth watching), there were a few things either a vampire or the dark knight himself "Dracula" both had in common.
They were able to live for hundreds and hundreds of years without showing any noticeable age lines on their face, in fact they would retain basically 99.999% of their youth! Which brings me to that $64,000 dollar question..
How in the world do they keep from aging to a ripe old age?
And ultimately how do they cheat the crap out of death?
Is it some sort of "arcane magic trick?" Well for vampires, that's actually the case. But what if I told about this one guy who lived to be well over 100 years-old? Better make that 200, no how about 256.
If you guessed 256, then pat yourself on the back because you're absolutely correct. So introducing you to Li Ching Yuen, and this is a man who has SERIOUSLY defied the laws of human longevity living to an impressive two-hundred and fifty six years old!
So now the first thing running through your mind is how in the world did this man manage to live that DAMN LONG!?
Well the answer is rather simple, or maybe your thinking NO IT ISN'T!
It goes back to what I just mentioned at the beginning of this article, and you do remember what I mentioned right?
Ok, maybe you're still thinking what the magic word I said that's responsible for aging us to death. OOPS, did mean to say it in that manner LOL. Telomeres is what I briefly mentioned, and yes scientists have tried to unlock the mystery of these unique age controlling chromosomes for decades now, WITHOUT MUCH LUCK MIGHT I ADD..
Here's a brief rundown about Telomeres, and when they run out of durability they will age a person uncontrollably.

So where does Li Chen Yung fit into all of this?
Well I'll say he fits rather nicely into the equation, from the time he was just 10-years-old he started to research the wonders of herbal concoctions, thus jumping into the field of holistic herbal nourishment and healing that keeps the body rejuvenated and resilient.
It's obvious to confirm that this was one of the biggest keys to his super-usual longevity regime, and he also threw in another four step recommendation to living ridiculously long as I quote the man saying..
Li Ching Yuen - He reportedly began his herbalist career at the age of 10, where he gathered herbs in mountain ranges and learned of their potency for longevity. For a span of 40 years, the man basically survived on a simple herbal regime diet eating tasty herbal treats such as.. Lingzhi goji berry wild ginseng he shoo wu gotu kola & rice wine AND TO REALLY BLOW YOUR MIND FURTHER OUT OF THE WATER, HE TOOK UP MARTIAL ARTS AT AGE 71! WTF?? You just say man! Definitely impressive have to admit! So how actually did all of this play into the preservation of the his telomeres, well that the thing all you have do is literally watch what you eat (that's the majority of it right there), it's an old saying you are what you eat. And what you eat can also play a pivotal role in your overall mental and physical health. OKAY! REALLY ALREADY! WHAT THE DOUBLE "H" HOCKEY STICKS IS IN THE KOOL-AID THEIR DRINKING!? :-\
Li Ching Yuen believed in maintaining a healthy diet and routinely practiced mind-body Qigong techniques which help him to reach that unbelievable defiant age! After all, a MUCH older man told him some of those precious "live-long secrets." And that man lived to be doubled Yuen's age!!
