Role of Physical Activity in Remaining Young

It is the goal of everyone to remain young. Being physically active is one way of achieving this.


Ageing is an irreversible process and cannot be halted. Of course, there are talks of stem cells and that in future, men and women could live for thousand years. It is all speculative and things like that might happen or, might not happen. For the time being, we have to reconcile ourselves to the reality that all of us are subject to ageing. Several studies have shown that while ageing might be irreversible, it could be at least slowed down. For example, it has been shown that a substance called resveratrol present in red grapes has the ability to slow down ageing. Calorie restriction has also been shown to be helpful in countering the ageing process. Now, studies in Canada have shown through animal studies that there is nothing like exercise to slow down ageing.
