Exercise ‘can make you up to ten years younger’

Those who put on their Mizuno, Ecco or Merrell trainers and regularly put themselves through exercise regimes could be influencing their ageing process.

Research from scientists at King’s College London claims that those who prefer to sit at home rather than put on their running shoes could lose out on looking up to ten years younger.

The study, which involved 2,401 twins, examined the length of leukocyte telomeres in white blood cells, which shorten over the course of a lifetime.

According to scientists’ findings, the most active subjects had telomeres that were the same length as more inactive people ten years younger than them.

Commenting on the results, the authors of the report said: “They show that adults who partake in regular physical activity are biologically younger than sedentary individuals.”

If you are looking to undertake more exercise and hopefully gain those extra ten years, then suitable footwear from the likes of Mizuno, Ecco and Keen can be found here at Fitness Footwear.
