Fight Aging at the Cellular Level
I’m an “it’s never too late” kind of guy.
You’ve never taken that trip to Italy? Call a travel agent.
You’ve always wanted to learn German? Look up Rosetta Stone.
Salsa dancing has always looked like fun? Sign up for lessons.
And, as it turns out, it’s also never too late to fight back against the hallmarks of aging.
Here’s how.
I bet when I mention aging, you think about things like wrinkles, gray hair, and a growing belly.
And it’s true that as we head into our senior years, we will face many external “indignities of aging.”
Hair starts growing where you don’t want it and disappears from where you do. Reading glasses become a permanent accessory. And you may even be forced to turn up the volume on the radio a notch or two.
But what TRULY matters is what’s happening on the inside.
DNA damage and telomere shortening are two internal hallmarks of aging.
DNA damage leads to the loss of cell and organ function and can increase your cancer risk.
Telomeres are protective “caps” on the end of your chromosomes that shorten with age.
But new cutting-edge animal research has revealed a way to fight back.
The study found that regular exercise slows DNA damage and telomere dysfunction as you age.
In other words, exercise doesn’t just help you stay fit or maintain your weight. Regular workouts directly fight aging and disease at the cellular level.
These results were determined in a mouse study, but they give us insight into why earlier human research found that engaging in aerobic exercise as you age reduces the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
When you exercise, you target the diseases of aging at their most basic level, preventing further damage and dysfunction.
In other words, it’s never too late to experience the anti-aging benefits of simple exercise.
