Believe it or not - this is NOT a sales pitch - just the reporting of a proven way to slow aging. In a blog entitled AGE DEFIANCE, you better find information designed to help you defy aging.
So what's the big discovery? Follow this shortened version of the explanation:
From mercola.com, "Telomeres, tiny units of DNA at the very end of each chromosome, shorten with time because they cannot replicate completely each time the cell divides. As you age, your telomeres get shorter and shorter."
Also from mercola.com, "Eventually, DNA replication and cell division ceases completely, at which point you die."
Lovely thought! Sounds like what we all believe - aging is the march to the ineviable.
But wait - recent studies prove that "high-intensity exercise like Peak 8 appears to be the most effective all-natural approach to slow down the aging process by reducing telomere shortening."
Bingo!
Dr. Mercola calls Peak 8 Exercises Your Best Anti-Aging Prescription.
Besides, once you get used to Peak 8 exercising, you'll wonder why you spent hours on an aerobic machine with much less benefit.
Here's a few posts on the flexibility and usefulness of these exercises:

Note: Start Peak 8 as soon as you can. The recommendation is one to three times per week once you work up to 8 intensity periods. Gradually work up to the 8 intensity periods and check with your doc if you take medication for heart issues. Stop if you feel pain or nausea.
