Running this way helps you look 9 years younger

Research from Brigham Young University (USA) shows that jogging regularly can actually help people stay younger, according to Medical News Today.

Specifically, a study led by Professor Larry Tucker - Department of Exercise Science at Brigham Young University, and published in the journal Preventative Medicine , concluded that jogging for 30-40 minutes/day and maintained regularly for 5 days/week can slow down cell aging by up to 9 years.

Jogging 30-40 minutes/day and maintaining it regularly for 5 days/week can slow down cell aging by up to 9 years.

For this study, Professor Tucker and colleagues analyzed health and nutrition data from 5,823 adults living in the United States. The results showed that compared to sedentary people, active runners (about 30 minutes/day for women, 40 minutes/day for men) had a biological age of up to 9 years younger.

Professor Tucker also said he was surprised to find that the biological age of sedentary people and moderately active people did not differ significantly. This suggests that if we want to best combat cellular aging, we need to exercise at a high frequency.

“Regular physical activity reduces mortality and prolongs life, and now we have found that it can also slow ageing at the cellular level,” said Professor Tucker.

“If you want to see a real difference in slowing down biological ageing, a little exercise won’t do the trick. You need to exercise regularly and at a high level,” adds Professor Tucker.
