ps up,and then it stays up,and over time, that persistently high level of the cortisolactually damps down your good for your telomeres. 我們一開(kāi)始的好奇心變成是有感染力的。數(shù)以千計(jì)來(lái)自不同領(lǐng)域的科學(xué)家把他們的專(zhuān)長(zhǎng)加到了端粒的研究當(dāng)中,大量的發(fā)現(xiàn)涌入。有超過(guò)一萬(wàn)份科學(xué)論文,且還在增加中。所以,有許多研究很快就確認(rèn)了我們最初的發(fā)現(xiàn),是的,長(zhǎng)期壓力對(duì)于端粒有害?,F(xiàn)在,許多研究指出,我們對(duì)于這種老化的過(guò)程所能掌控的程度,遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)任何人過(guò)去的想像。舉幾個(gè)例子:洛杉磯加州大學(xué)的一篇研究,對(duì)象是關(guān)于長(zhǎng)期照顧失憶親戚的人,該研究探究了這些照護(hù)者的端粒維護(hù)能力,發(fā)現(xiàn)他們?nèi)绻B續(xù)兩個(gè)月每天進(jìn)形某種形式的冥想,即使只有短短十二分鐘,也能改善這項(xiàng)能力。態(tài)度很重要。如果你是個(gè)習(xí)慣性負(fù)面思考的人,你通常遇到有壓力的情境時(shí)會(huì)產(chǎn)生威脅性的壓力反應(yīng),意思是說(shuō),如果你的老板想見(jiàn)你,你自動(dòng)會(huì)想:「我要被開(kāi)除了?!鼓愕难軙?huì)收縮,你的壓力賀爾蒙皮質(zhì)醇會(huì)升高,且一直維持很高,隨著時(shí)間過(guò)去,一直持續(xù)很高的皮質(zhì)醇其實(shí)就會(huì)減弱你的端粒酶。這對(duì)你的端粒不好。 On the other hand,if you typically see something stressful as a challenge to be tackled,then blood flows to your heart and to your brain,and you experience a brief but energizing spike of thanks to that habitual amp。quot。bring it onamp。quot。 attitude,your telomeres do just ...What is all of this telling us?Your telomeres do just really do have power to change what is happeningto your own telomeres. 另一方面,如果你通常視很有壓力的事情為要對(duì)付的挑戰(zhàn),那么,血液就會(huì)流向你的心臟和大腦,你就會(huì)經(jīng)歷到短暫但讓人精力充沛的皮質(zhì)醇增強(qiáng)。托那「放馬過(guò)來(lái)吧」習(xí)慣的福,你的端粒就會(huì)好好的。所以,這一切告訴我們什么?你的端粒好好的。你真的有力量可以改變你自己的端粒會(huì)發(fā)生什么事。 But our curiosity just got more and more intense,because we started to wonder,what about factors outside our own skin?Could they impact our telomere maintenance as well?You know, we humans are intensely social it even possible that our telomeres were social as well?And the results have been early as childhood,emotional neglect, exposure to violence,bullying and racismall impact your telomeres,and the effects are you imagine the impact on childrenof living years in a war zone?People who canamp。rsquo。t trust their neighborsand who donamp。rsquo。t feel safe in their neighborhoodsconsistently have shorter your home address matters for telomeres as the flip side,tightknit munities,being in a marriage longterm,and lifelong friendships, even,all improve telomere maintenance. 但我們的好奇心變得越來(lái)越強(qiáng)烈,因?yàn)槲覀冮_(kāi)始納悶,我們身外的因素如何呢?它們能否影響我們的端粒維護(hù)呢?要知道,我們?nèi)祟?lèi)是極為社交的動(dòng)物。有沒(méi)有可能我們的端粒也很社交呢?而結(jié)果十分驚人。早至孩童時(shí)期,情緒忽視、接觸暴力、霸凌、及種族主義,都會(huì)影響你的端粒,且影響是長(zhǎng)期的。你們能想像在戰(zhàn)區(qū)內(nèi)的孩子,壽命會(huì)受到什么樣的影響?無(wú)法信任鄰居的人,在鄰坊中沒(méi)有安全感的人,很一致地,都有比較短的端粒。所以你住哪里,對(duì)于端粒也很重要。反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō),緊密連結(jié)的社區(qū)、長(zhǎng)期的婚姻、甚至一生的友誼,都能改善端粒的維護(hù)。 So what is all this telling us?Itamp。rsquo。s telling us that I have the power to impact my own telomeres,and I also have the power to impact science has told us just how interconnected we all are. 所以,這一切告訴我們什么?它告訴我們,我有力量可以影響我自己的端粒,我也有力量可以影響你的端粒。端粒科學(xué)告訴我們,我們是多么緊密連結(jié)在一起。 But Iamp。rsquo。m still do wonderwhat legacy all of uswill leave for the next generation?Will we investin the next young woman or manpeering through a microscope at the next little critter,the next bit of pond scum,curious about a question we donamp。rsquo。t even know today is a question?It could be a great question that could impact all the maybe, maybe youamp。rsquo。re curious about that you know how to protect your telomeres,are you curious what are you going to dowith all those decades of brimming good health?And now that you know you could impact the telomeres of others,are you curioushow will you make a difference?And now that you know the power of curiosity to change the world,how will you make sure that the world invests in curiosityfor the sake of the generations that will e after us? 但我仍然好奇。我確實(shí)納悶,我們所有人會(huì)留給下一代什么遺產(chǎn)?我們是否會(huì)投資給接下來(lái)的年輕男、女,透過(guò)顯微鏡盯著下一個(gè)小生物、下一坨池塘浮渣,對(duì)我們現(xiàn)今仍未知的問(wèn)題感到好奇?那可能是個(gè)好問(wèn)題,能夠影響全世界。也許你對(duì)你自己很好奇?,F(xiàn)在你知道如何保護(hù)你的端粒了,你是否會(huì)好奇,未來(lái)數(shù)十年你將會(huì)做些什么來(lái)維持好健康?現(xiàn)在你知道你能夠影響他人的端粒了,你是否會(huì)好奇,你將會(huì)如何造成不同?現(xiàn)在你知道好奇的力量可以改變世界了,你要如何確保世界會(huì)為了我們之后的世代而投資在好奇心上? Thank you. 謝謝。 (Applause) (掌聲)
