Exercising is crucial for anti-aging as it makes you look healthier and younger. Research shows that exercising can actually help reverse your cells’ aging process.
High-Intensity Interval Training “HIIT”:
A study has revealed that doing high-intensity interval training is proven to stop cellular aging and repair cellular damage in the body. As per the study, doing high-intensity interval training improved mitochondrial functioning by 49% among the younger participants and 69% among older participants. The decline of the powerhouse cell mitochondria is responsible for normal aging and correlates with the development of a wide range of age-related diseases.
Yoga:
