TL;DR Summary

A new study suggests that exercise, particularly endurance exercise, may slow down the aging process by maintaining telomere length and preventing cellular senescence. Telomeres act as protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, and as we age, they tend to shorten, leading to cellular senescence and accelerated aging. Regular endurance exercise, such as brisk walks or other activities that elevate and sustain heart rate, for at least 30 minutes, three to five times a week, may help maintain telomere length and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Additionally, incorporating strength training, managing stress, getting quality sleep, and following a healthy diet can further maximize the anti-aging benefits of exercise.
