I looked for an article and it is about the effects of sedentary life on people´s health.
When people are inactive they can get older genetically faster. A recent study has proved that people who were physically active appeared biologically younger than sedentary ones.
Telomeres, that are key pieces of D.N.A., can get reduced more quickly in inactive people causing faster cellular ageing.
Beside, people doing regular exercise have less probabilities of suffering from cardiovascular deseases, diabetes and cancer.
People´s telomeres become shorter while getting older. Cells are more susceptible to damage and death but if a person is active the telomeres last longer in the D.N.A.
It is advisable to do about two hundred minutes a week of physical activities such as running, tennis or aerobics.
Furthemore, active people under high levels of stress can reduce its impact and damage better and faster.

Wow! This makes me want to get up and move! But it does make sense to me. Telomeres aside, when you exercise you often eat better, avoid excessive smoking and drinking, sleep more, and take better care of yourself overall. Julia- where did you find this article? Do you agree? Will it affect your life/urge you to convince other people to get out and get active? Thanks again for posting! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI saw this article on the BBC News.In my opinion is very interesting to be active because we need to maintain our mental and physical health. And in my case, it makes me feel completely relaxed!.
