Trending This Week - Lengthen Your Telomeres

If you want to improve your Longevity there are a couple of things we now know from research that are proven to help. One of them is the research around Telomeres and how to slow down or even reverse aging.

Inside your body’s cell, genes are arranged along double-stranded molecules of DNA called chromosomes. At the ends of the chromosomes are stretches of DNA called telomeres, which protect your genetic data and make it possible for your cells to divide. Yet, each time a cell divides, the telomeres get shorter. When they get too short, your cells can no longer divide; they become inactive or die. This shortening process is associated with aging, cancer, and a higher risk of death.

High-intensity resistance training, just like your fit20 training, actually lengthens your telomeres. It does so by stimulating the release of a substance that allows telomeres to grow. In doing so, your weekly fit20 training boosts your health and longevity and mitigates your risk for a host of illnesses. So, train consistently and lengthen your telomeres as if your life depends on it.... As it actually does depend on it!
