Vigorous walking shortens your biological life by 16 years

Scientists say that brisk walking reduces a person’s biological age, and by the time they reach middle age they feel 16 years younger.

Scientists at the University of Leicester surveyed data from 400,000 Britons, averaging 57, aged 57, and recorded them in the UK Biobank – a database of patients who have been monitored for 10 years.

The team found a clear link between brisk walking and low biological age, which determines how energetic the body is. Done.

Telomeres are the areas at the end of each chromosome that help fight aging, regenerate cells and protect them from damage.

Scientists believe that the length of telomeres is a sign of biological longevity because it protects against weakness and age-related diseases such as coronary artery disease and cancer.

Based on the findings, researchers estimate that a brisk walking technique can shorten a person’s biological life by up to 16 years by middle age.

Professor Tom Yates, a physical activity expert and senior author of the study, said: “Our results confirm that brisk walking can actually lead to better health and a significant reduction in biological life.”

He said those who regularly walk slowly are at higher risk for chronic illness and premature aging.
