If there were any chance of me being successful, I'd get out of the danger zone as quickly as possible. No loss of face. No bruised ego. I am a martial arts expert. My main goal is not necessarily to parade my skills ... it's to stay safe. (I feel the need to emphasize that point over and over...

Telomeres, Biological Clocks & Heart Disease The American Heart Association discovered a link between shorter telomeres in white blood cells (immune cells called leukocytes) and the development of heart disease.
