Twin Study Results – Exercise is good for you!
Exercise = benefits! It’s amazing what we can learn from science.
Well, it’s a little more interesting than that. Turns out, there is evidence to show an association between exercise and slower aging. In a 10-year study of a bunch of British twins, researchers mapped markers in the white blood cell something called telomeres – whatever they are, they are indicative of cell break-down leading to symptoms of age.
Here’s what happened: the twin who exercised more had telomeres of a person 5 – 9 years younger than the non-exercising twin! That’s some good age-reversal.
