14. Aging
Although we all know that age is just a number, and the most important part is the way we feel, it has been found that the number is not accurate all the time. The way that we look is actually a consequence of the telomeres, which is a component of the DNA on the tip of each and every chromosome.
In conformity with a study published in Nature Genetics in 2010, several scientists studied half a million telomeres. They saw that the telomeres that had shorter tips looked approximately three to four years older than those that had normal-length tips.
Now, when somebody tells you that you look younger than that number in your ID, you can tell them that “You got it from your mamma”!

my grandfather on my mother’s side was called “Black Tom Murphy” …because of his black hair. I am 86 and just started to have some gray in my black hair!!!!
I THINK THIS INFORMATION WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL & INTERESTING.
I like it because I feel connected to my loved ones and that feels good even though they are gone,
As far as for the teeth i got the space from my Mother’s side. Not my Dad’s.
