more activity= slower aging.... being lazy=getting older faster!

recently, specialists discovered, a big cause of premature death and fast aging.
they experimented with blood samples of some 2,400 twins after making experiments and proving them they got to the conclusion that the ones who exercised the most (an average of 199 minutes weekly) had in average a decade biologically younger than the "lazy ones"(which did 16 minutes or less a week).
The scientists speculate that stress, inflammation and oxidative stress (cell damage caused by oxygen exposure) may be responsible for aging faster in people that dont do exercise. Exercise is among the factors found to help alleviate stress (oviously helping aging). Previous research has linked regular workouts to lower rates of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, obesity and osteoporosis.
The researchers note that their findings support U.S. guidelines calling for individuals to exercise moderately for 30 minutes at least five days a week. "Our results. . . show that adults who partake in regular physical activity are biologically younger than sedentary individuals," they say. "This conclusion provides a powerful message that could be used by clinicians to promote the potential anti-aging effect of regular exercise."

my opinion:
I think this is very important and true because usually people that dont do exercise are more weak and get more diseases that people who do exercise. i think everyone should find time to do some exercise a day or maybe only resting the weekends because it helps getting rid of the stress, the fast aging,the diseases and after getting used to the sport it gets really fun and entretaining!! i think this article is very interesting and important and i agree that exersice is very important in everybodies life!
