The telomeres: A new track to live longer

For several years, researchers pay close attention to Telomeres.
These are chromosomal structure involved in the aging of our cells.

We all know that our cells divide to form other cells as well. This is the familiar process of cell division that allows us to keep us alive.

However, telomeres contain DNA that a priori does not resemble any gene, or each time a cell divides, the telomeres shorten.

Reached a critical size with each cell division, telomeres can no longer play their role. Thus, the process of senescence appears and the cells can not happen again. They age and die ...

Telomeres are therefore the counters of our lives by their length. Researchers are looking then the possibilities to extend this length.

Problem! The telomeres are also involved in the process of division of cancer cells, which are known to be immortal.

All this complicates the work of researchers, interested in the attractive idea of extending people's lives by increasing the size of our Telomeres and dangerous process of forcing an increased risk of cancer.

# Physical activity and Telomeres
According to the magazine "What to choose health":
researchers have recently demonstrated that exercise could "extend" the telomeres.

People who are active and telomere length comparable to those of sedentary people ten years younger! "

Tips! Take your sports gear and make physical activity augmenterla length of your telomeres and your life
