Normal human ageing could be slowed by protecting chromosome tips.
“This may be one of several things you need to do in order to extend lifespan and extend healthy living.”

Chromosomes have caps called telomeres at their ends. As cells divide, telomeres shorten, eventually cells stop dividing and die.
Telomerase prevents this decline in some kinds of cells.
