A faster daily pace may significantly slow the aging of our cells, according to a new UK study highlighted by international media. The research suggests that simply increasing walking speed could reduce biological age by as much as 16 years, a finding with meaningful implications for Thailand’s aging society and rising chronic disease rates.
Biological age reflects how old the body truly is, measured by cellular markers such as telomere length. Telomeres protect chromosome ends and shorten with age. While genetics matter, lifestyle factors like exercise, stress, and nutrition also shape telomere length and cellular aging.
