Chromosome Research Suggests Exercise Fights Aging

Exercise has long been viewed as an important factor for maintaining health and vitality in old age. Now, its anti-aging benefits are being understood on a genetic level.

Exercise and the Genetics of Aging

A new study published in the journal Circulation has found that strenuous long-term exercise, such as endurance running, may fight the aging process through its effects on chromosomes.

The health benefits of exercise have long been accepted, but this is the first study to offer an explanation on a cellular level.

The specific effects of exercise occurred in telomeres, repetitive DNA-protein complexes on the ends of chromosomes that are believed to impact aging. The shorter telomeres become, the more quickly cells die, and therefore the shorter a person’s life becomes.

“Ulrich Laufs, the study's co-author, … said one of the key findings was that lifelong exercise was associated with a significant prevention of telomere shortening,” John Fauber wrote for the Journal Sentinel.

Quote from Elizabeth Bloch, Founder and President of OmP3, LLC, and creator of the Mumbani™: “I designed the Mumbani™ Fresh Face Pillow 2 years ago for myself. I was fed up with the deep lines, wrinkles and creases caused from sleeping on my pillow, and knew the answer was a mini pillow or buffer to place between my head and my pillow. It worked so well that I decided to make them for my friends and family, and now it is available to the public online.”
