How can you lengthen your telomeres?
Answered
Telomere lengthening in humans is primarily an area of experimental research. One potential way to lengthen telomeres is by activating the enzyme telomerase, which can add DNA repeats to the telomeres. However, activating telomerase in humans is complex and could have risks, such as encouraging cancerous growth. Lifestyle factors, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, and stress reduction, may help slow telomere shortening, but more research is needed to determine if they can actively lengthen telomeres.
