So I'm an article junkie for sure and today I found a very interesting article on exercise and ageing. Find the abstract below:
You already know exercise makes you look and feel younger. But here's a news flash: Exercise actually does make you younger—right down to your DNA.
When researchers examined the lifestyle habits and DNA of more than 2,400 twins, they found that regular exercisers had significantly longer telomeres (a region of DNA that acts as a biological marker for aging) than their sedentary peers. Those who exercised a little less than 30 minutes a day had telomeres that looked 10 years younger than those who did just 16 minutes a week.
Ready to roll back the years? Our age-defying plan includes all the elements you need to get slimmer and feel younger—total-body strength, high-energy cardio, and stress-busting yoga.
Interesting huh? Find the rest of the article and work out plan here: http://health.msn.com/health-topics/aging/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100218234&page=1
