Physical activity reduces the rate of cellular aging
The regular exercise plays an important role not only in maintaining physical health but also in slowing down the aging of cells. Scientific research increasingly supports this statement, as exercise not only helps preserve fitness but also increases the lifespan of cells. As a result of an active lifestyle, telomeres, which are protective caps located at the ends of chromosomes, can remain longer, thus serving to maintain the health of cells. Telomeres continuously shorten during cell division, and when they reach a certain length, cells can no longer divide, leading to cell death. Therefore, the length of telomeres plays a key role in aging processes. Research shows that regular exercise…

Obesity Accelerates the Aging Process of Liver Cells
A research is increasingly revealing that obesity is not just an aesthetic issue, but also carries serious health risks. The effects of obesity are being studied on various organs and tissues, with particular attention paid to the liver, which is considered the center of metabolic processes. Recent studies have uncovered that the biological aging of the liver in overweight individuals occurs at a faster rate than that of those with normal body weight. This discovery highlights that obesity affects not only physical appearance but also the health of tissues and organs. The Role of the Liver in Body Function The liver plays an essential role in the body’s metabolism. During…
