i wanted to create this video on the best exercise  that you can do to increase your telomeres now what’s a telomere a telomere  is like this protective coating on the end of your chromosomes to protect your  genes and the significance of this is that the longer the telomeres the longer you potentially  can live and so there’s a whole series of epigenetic things that you can do to  keep these telomeres very very high and i’ve done another video on all the different  foods and remedies that you can take but in this video we’re going to talk specifically  about exercise so based on the data so far physical activity in general despite the type of  exercise is associated with longer telomeres so in other words the more active you are the longer  you’re going to live so the next point is this there was a significant association with robust  and moderate exercise and i’m mainly talking about high intensity interval training okay that’s  a very intense workout but of short duration and aerobic endurance training both of those  types of exercise show significant association with an increased telomere length now the  reason why that is is because you’re decreasing oxidative stress you’re actually getting your  body into a situation where it’s adapted enough to handle more oxidative stress oxidative stress  and inflammation are two things that really mess up your genes and both of these exercises do  reduce inflammation but in this study there was a subgroup of exercise which is just aerobic  exercise so it wasn’t the endurance type it was just a short workout of aerobic exercise  and another category called resistance training both of these subcategories did not show an  association with increased telomere length however there’s a lot of great data on resistance training  improving cardiovascular function decreasing risk of dying from a heart attack and other reasons why  you might die all right thanks for watching so if you’re enjoying my content which i hope you are  and you’re applying this knowledge to your health and you have a success i would really appreciate  you sharing your success story so click the link down below to my website where you can upload  your success story so you can help inspire others
