Promising news for runners. Every mile of pounding pavement may be anti-aging. The mice, I note, were not asked to do hill repeats.
Mechanical pressure on shin bones extended mouse lifespan by 80 days (+9.4%).
That’s the human equivalent of 7–9 yrs.
Bone pressure triggers PIEZO1 sensors to broadcast anti-aging signals to the brain, liver, and immune system.
If this translates to humans, my dunk training is flooding my entire body with anti-aging juice.
