The Role of Exercise in Telomere Maintenance
Regular physical activity slows telomere shortening by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and supporting cellular regeneration.
Best Exercises for Telomere Health:
- Aerobic Exercise (Running, Swimming, Cycling): Improves cardiovascular health and reduces systemic inflammation.
- Strength Training (Weightlifting, Resistance Exercises): Enhances mitochondrial function and telomere stability.
- Yoga & Tai Chi: Reduce stress hormones like cortisol, which accelerate telomere shortening.
Engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week supports telomere length and longevity.
