How To Live Long: Studies done on living a long and healthy life clearly show that we can reduce our biological age by reducing the age of cells through physical activity. 

If you wish to live longer, you just need to take out 30 minutes for this. According to a study published in 2017, doing more physical activity can add 9 years to your biological age. This study was conducted by Brigham Young University. It also stated that jogging can prove to be an excellent exercise for a long life. 

Larry Tucker, the author of this study, said that if you are 40 years old, it does not mean that you are biologically 40 years old. We all know people who look much younger than their actual age. The reason for this is physical activity. The more physically active a person is, the less biological aging occurs.

Exercise increases the length of telomeres

Telomeres are the nucleotide end caps of our chromosomes, which are like our biological clock. As we age, telomeres shorten. When a cell divides, a small amount of telomere length is lost. Physically active people have longer telomeres, while people who are sedentary have shorter telomeres which accelerates biological aging. 

Difference between the age of cells and the age of the body

Cells age gradually. This DNA damage is caused by oxidative stress and the shortening of telomeres, which leads to deterioration in the function of the body's cells. This aging of cells indicates aging. On the other hand, physical age brings external and internal changes, such as wrinkles, gray hair and decreased functionality of organs.

how long exercise is needed

To remain physically active, women should jog for 30 minutes every day, five days a week, while men should jog for 40 minutes. Apart from this, one should run for at least 30 to 40 minutes every week, so that biological aging in the body can be prevented.
