A brisk walking pace 'could make you feel 16 years younger by midlife'

A lifetime of brisk walking can make you feel 16 years younger by the time you reach midlife, scientists say.

University of Leicester researchers who studied the genes of 400,000 Britons found a clear link between walking faster and a reduced biological age.

Quicker participants - defined as those who walked quicker than 4mph - had longer telomeres, which are the ‘caps’ at the end of each chromosome.
