"Health Promotion" video: Benefits of exercise:
Telomeres are the chromosome tips which shorten each time a cell divides, making them a possible marker of aging. Exercise delays telomere shortening, and potentially slows the aging process in humans. A study of 2400 twins showed that physically active people had longer telomeres than sedentary people. According to the authors, this provides a powerful message that could be used by clinicians to promote the potentially antiaging effect of regular exercise.
