Studies have shown that: lazy inactive during leisure time may be premature aging 10-year-old

A study by British researchers showed that those who exercise free time compared with leisure lazy immobile biological significance in aging may be an average of 10 years old.

 

    "New Scientist" magazine's website recently reported that St. Thomas Hospital in London, UK researchers have measured the 2401 pairs of twins, telomere length of chromosomes in white blood cells.   

 

    It was found that those who do not exercise at leisure chromosomal telomeres than the active movement of people shorter telomeres.

    Telomeres are terminal position on the chromosome centromere. Each human cell divides, the telomeres are shortened, while the short telomeres could not have been short-term, cell division can no longer die. In a sense, telomeres play a man's biological age of the countdown of "timer" function.

 

    The researchers found that people who exercise the least (only exercise 16 minutes a week) and the amount of exercise than any other person (3 hours per week exercise) compared to the average short telomeres 200 base pairs. Converted into a biological age, the former than the latter about 10 years of aging.

 

    Researchers previous studies have shown that smoking and obesity will shorten the telomere length, according to the calculation of biological age, the same is equivalent to 10 years old. In the new study they found that exercise and telomere length exists between the direct link.

 

    However, the study leader Dimusipei Hackett said that the shorter the telomeres of chromosomes were really the sooner the death, which science has not yet been confirmed. He also pointed out that although there is no way telomere shortening after resume, but the new results show that exercise can slow down the process of telomere shortening.
