Would you like a long life? Subtract the time sitting

Reduce the time to sit down and be more active move not only keeps in shape, but also extend to age because our DNA so that the younger.

Already since a long time expert Remember dangers of sitting too long. The more time spent sitting, short lengths of DNA called Telomeres makin.

The Telomeres serves to protect the ends of chromosomes. Along with the age, Telomeres held until certain point retracts. In the maximum limit of Telomeres could already it will not retract, and then the cell will die.

"Our data indicate that the elongation of Telomeres is one way to improve health," said Sjogren, leader of research and at the same time professor at the University of Uppsala, Sweden.

However, researchers are still suspicious of the findings of this research because the small scale research.
"Telomeres have been attracting much attention in recent years. The reason, they are at the end of chromosomes and it was essential for DNA replication and cell resistance. Telomeres know what interest has an impact on the health and age of the length of someone high, "are, he said.

Telomere prevents chromosome spreads or connection in order to damage the genetic code that had been. However, researchers have not found a clear reason why reduce the sitting position can extend Telomeres. "It is still an unanswered question," he said.

Dr. David Katz, Prevention Research Center's Director of Yale University, said, "proved a long time ago that the more we sit every day, also in decline the rest of our lives. Active people whose lives tend to be much more aged, he said.

According to Katz, the evidence suggests that the gene influences the lifestyle and the length of the Telomeres. "This study complements the information emphasizing that there is a relationship between the reduction of long Telomeres lengthening and sit down", said.

The study examined 49 seniors 60 years and older that rare time is exercised and overweight. The researchers took samples of his blood twice with approximately six months.

First was the participant after investigations that divide them between was and also follow a new exercise program. As a result, sports turned out activities have no effect on the length of the Telomeres, thus the time, you feel the most connected.
