María Blasco Marhuenda
Spanish Scientist
We believe that such a significant increase in longevity is due to the protective effect against cancer produced by caloric restriction - incidences fall by 40 percent if we compare them with the mice that produce more telomerase and have a normal diet - and, added to the presence of longer telomeres, this makes the mice live longer and better.

Many studies show that depressed patients who stick to a regimen of aerobic exercise improve as much as those treated with medication.
