To understand yoga's effects on reverse aging in terms of telomere length & telomerase activity
A narrative review
Keywords:
yoga, reverse aging, healthspan, longevity, telomere length, telomerase enzymeAbstract
A challenge in front of is the rapid aging of the population. Aged population contributes the largest in the spectrum of chronic disorders. Various therapies have been studied to determine their effect on longevity or healthspan.However, ageing experts are focusing about there research on methods that work against by the organic sequence of the ageing procedure in order to postpone it, and the results, as well as the side effects, of these methodologies are unknown.Yoga is a comprehensive practise that promotes health by incorporating dietary, lifestyle, behavioural, but also psychological therapies. Yogic intervention is to restore all the system's homeostasis and function simultaneously at the body, mind, and spirit levels. A search of the literature was made by using keywords such as: " Yoga" OR "asana" OR "pranayama" OR "meditation" OR "mindfulness" OR "reverse aging" OR "telomere" OR "telomerase enzyme" OR "oxidative stress." A total of 17 papers are set in this review for evaluation through PUBMED database search. This review shows that Yogapositively affects length of telomeres and telomerase enzyme activity. Yoga is critical in reversing the ageing process by reducing the signs or symptoms of ageing.
