interesting question wrote:
Finally, running causes you to burn lots of calories (and eat lots of calories) and increases cell turnover. These new cells lose a little bit of telomere length each time, aging you. It's one reason why studies support fasting as an anti-aging measure. Less calories, less cell turnover.
Wait, but why are retinol/retinoids, which increase turnover of the skin cells they are applied on, always recommended to make your skin look younger?
And doesn’t fasting induce autophagy, which removes old/senescent/damaged cells? Not sure by what mechanism fasting is youth-preserving.
This is just off the dome, maybe these are ill-informed picking points.
