{There\u2019s no therapy, diet or cream that can stop the effect of ageing; ageing is a natural process that has been, from the beginning of time.}<\/p>\n
However, the effects of ageing can be slowed down, as we can see that some people tend to age faster than some people. Besides genetics, ageing can also be slowed down, various researches has found.<\/p>\n
A new research reveals you may be able to slow one type of aging \u2013 the kind that happens inside your cells \u2013 if only you\u2019re willing to sweat.<\/p>\n
The study which was conducted by researchers from Brigham Young University finds that people who have consistently high levels of physical activity have significantly longer telomeres than those who have sedentary lifestyles, as well as those who are moderately active.<\/p>\n
Telomeres are the protein endcaps of our chromosomes. They\u2019re like our biological clock and they\u2019re extremely correlated with age; each time a cell replicates, we lose a tiny bit of the endcaps. Therefore, the older we get, the shorter our telomeres.<\/p>\n
Exercise science professor Larry Tucker found adults with high physical activity levels have telomeres with a biological aging advantage of nine years over those who are sedentary, and a seven-year advantage compared to those who are moderately active. To be highly active, women had to engage in 30 minutes of jogging per day (40 minutes for men), five days a week.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust because you\u2019re 40, doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re 40 years old biologically,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cWe all know people that seem younger than their actual age. The more physically active we are, the less biological aging takes place in our bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to see a real difference in slowing your biological aging, it appears that a little exercise won\u2019t cut it,\u201d Tucker added. \u201cYou have to work out regularly at high levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
The study was published in the medical journal Preventive Medicine.<\/p>\n
