But did you know our cells have their own “clocks” that tick as we age? Scientists have found special molecular markers – epigenetic clocks and telomeres – that act like tiny age-measuring tools inside our DNA. When these markers age more slowly, our bodies stay younger. Good news: exercise can slow these clocks! In particular, resistance training (lifting weights or using bands) may help keep those molecular clocks running slower. In this article, we look at big health studies and recent experiments on how weight training, jogging, or a mix of both change these aging markers. We’ll see which kind of exercise helps most, how much it matters, and share simple workout tips to keep your body young at the cellular level.... Continue reading
