"Every morning, I'd push myself through another grueling session, convinced that more intensity meant better results. But here's what longevity researchers discovered: chronic high-intensity exercise without adequate recovery creates persistent inflammation in the body. This type of inflammation accelerates cellular aging and can actually shorten your telomeres-those protective caps on your DNA that keep you biologically younger. The sweet spot appears to be mixing moderate exercise with occasional high-intensity sessions, plus plenty of recovery time."
"I went through a phase where I eliminated everything that wasn't organic, non-GMO, and blessed by a wellness influencer. Sugar was evil. Carbs were suspect. Even certain fruits made my "no" list. What researchers are finding is that this level of dietary restriction creates its own form of chronic stress. When you're constantly anxious about food choices, your cortisol levels spike. And elevated cortisol over time is a recipe for accelerated aging, from your"
Daily chronic high-intensity exercise without adequate recovery creates persistent inflammation that accelerates cellular aging and shortens telomeres. Balancing moderate exercise with occasional high-intensity sessions and sufficient recovery time allows the body to repair and regenerate. Ultra-restrictive "clean" eating patterns that eliminate broad food categories produce chronic stress and increase cortisol levels. Persistent elevated cortisol contributes to accelerated aging. Constant anxiety about food choices can itself be a stressor. Wellness behaviors taken to extremes can stress physiological systems in unanticipated ways and thereby undermine longevity rather than promote it.
