Telomeres - Cap It All Off with Diet

You can rewind the "clock" of your life with your diet.

Is the reversal of cellular aging Dr. Dean Ornish demonstrated with lifestyle changes due to the plant-based diet, the exercise or just to the associated weight loss?

Make sure you say the prequel to this video, Does Meditation Affect Cellular Aging? (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/d...) And for background on this area of research in Research Into Reversing Aging (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/resea...).

I’ve asked this diet versus exercise question in a few other contexts. See: Arteries of Vegans vs. Runners (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/arter...) Is It the Diet, the Exercise, or Both? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it...) How Much Exercise to Sustain Weight Loss? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-m...)

Though dietary change appears more impactful, I’m a big fan of walking. See Longer Life Within Walking Distance (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/longe...) and for my personal favorite exercise, Standing Up for Your Health (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/stand...).

For more on the role saturated fat may play in disease, see, for example, my videos Heart Disease Starts in Childhood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart...) and Treating Multiple Sclerosis with the Swank MS Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treat...).
