Telomere length is generally influenced by telomerase activity, which adds DNA repeats to telomeres. While it is not currently possible to directly increase telomere length in humans outside of research settings, some studies suggest that lifestyle factors, such as regular exercise, a nutrient-rich diet, and reducing stress, may slow down telomere shortening. Research is exploring potential ways to increase telomere length, including telomerase activation and other gene therapies, but these methods are not yet safe or widely applicable in humans.
