Sign Of Aging Reversed By Simple Exercise

Scientists have identified a new sign of biological aging that may be reversible through simple exercise.

"The idea that we could reverse aging is something that was long considered science fiction, but these findings do allow us to understand a lot more about the aging process," said Riekelt Houtkooper, Professor of Translational Metabolism at Amsterdam University Medical Centre, said in a statement.

In a study published in the journal Nature Aging , Houtkooper and his Amsterdam University colleagues set about finding one of these aging-related molecules and potential methods for reversing its accumulation.

"Aging biomarkers are important because they will help us tracking the effects of anti-aging treatments," Houtkooper told Newsweek . "In addition, they provide insight into the mechanisms of aging, i.e. to help us understand what causes aging so we can develop new treatments."

The problem is, there are hundreds of different lipids in our bodies, which makes it difficult to know which ones are responsible for age-related decline.
