Some of the other benefits of exercise that it increases the length of telomeres and that is connected to the health of the cells. The telomere’s of the exercising people showed the equivalent of being 10 years younger than their couch-potato siblings. Runners had more activity in their telomerase, a cellular enzyme thought to aid in lengthening and protecting telomeres. Exercise may be affecting telomerase activity and not telomeres directly. When cells divide and replicate these long strands of DNA, the telomere cap is snipped, a process that is believed to protect the rest of the DNA but leaves an increasingly abbreviated telomere. Eventually, if a cell’s telomeres become too short, the cell ‘‘either dies or enters a kind of suspended state. Telomere of Young people might be of the same length if it is compared between young people who are exercising vs living a sedentary life. The young people had been on earth long enough for multiple cell divisions to have snipped away at their telomeres. The telomere would be shortened if the middle aged people are compared.
