Regular physical activity can slow down the body's biological aging and even partially "take back" it. Researchers led by Tacuamura, led by Takuhamura, Takuhamura, Takuhamura, Takuhamura, Takuhamura, Japan. The work was published in Aging-US magazine.
We are talking about epigenetic aging, changes in DNA molecules that reflect how fast cells and tissues are worn. It is measured through the so-called epigenetic clock, which analyzes the level of DNA methylation. Unlike chronological age, this figure gives a more accurate assessment of the body's condition and directly depends on the lifestyle.
Scientists have analyzed the data on people's and animals and find out structural physical activity, a clear plan, repetitive and specific training, gives the biggest impact. The high level of endurance and heart work is especially useful for the "Molecular Youth".
For example, the age changes of muscular tissue have decreased by the mice of power training programs. The eight-weekly aerobic and power training program reduced biological age for two years.
The impact of exercise extends not only on the muscles. The new data show that physical activity slows down the heart, liver, fat tissue and even intestinal epigens. Moreover, the Olympic athletes are slower than the ordinary people, which implies possible long-term protective mechanisms.
The authors of the study emphasize that further research is needed to understand why some people respond more to exercises than others, and which type of activity works best for different organs. Personalized programs can be the key to maximum impact.
