UK researchers find that walking fast will let people live 16 years longer because brisk walking will result in longer telomeres.
According to a new study, taking a brisk stroll can help you live 16 years longer. Researchers from the University of Leicester established a correlation between a person's walking speed and their age.
Longer telomeres are the result of a lifetime of brisk walking. These are the protective "caps" on the ends of your chromosomes like plastic tabs on your shoelaces. Telomeres perform an important function in keeping DNA stable, despite the fact that they do not carry genetic information.
These end caps are used by scientists to calculate a person's biological age. In terms of biological age, the longer the telomeres, the younger they are in which is different from the terms of chronological age.
Scientists discovered that a faster walking pace throughout life could result in a person being 16 years younger biologically by the time they re...
