Clean living 'slows cell ageing'

Bulls**t. Clearly it makes no damn difference.

"Taking more exercise and eating the right foods may help increase levels of an enzyme vital for guarding against age-related cell damage, work suggests.

Among 24 men asked to adopt healthy lifestyle changes for a US study in The Lancet Oncology, levels of telomerase increased by 29% on average.

Telomerase repairs and lengthens telomeres, which cap and protect the ends of chromosomes housing DNA.

As people age, telomeres shorten and cells become more susceptible to dying."

Just as with antioxidants, they have no idea what is true, what works and why.

"Several factors such as smoking, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are associated with shorter-than-average telomeres. "

So what?

It does not matter.

Just lose the damn weight, stop smoking and forget about the speculation as to why it "works."

"Professor Dean Ornish, from the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in California, and his team wanted to find out if improvements in diet and lifestyle might have the opposite effect."

Sadly, Ornish has IMHO proven himself to be aligned with AdipOprah's IMHO diet and fitness whores.

IMHO, this just adds another nail to his credibility coffin.
