Myth or Medical Miracle: Will exercise reverse skin aging? What was once speculation -- that exercise helps keep skin glowing and youthful -- now has scientific research behind it. Not only did scientists find that those who exercise regularly have younger-looking skin, but they found that the aging process can begin to be reversed for older people who take up regular exercise. Scientists found 65+ year old volunteers and asked them to either live a sedentary lifestyle or engage in moderate cardio twice a week. The result? Those who exercised had skin (both the inner and outer layers of the dermis) that closely resembled the skin of 20-40 year olds. It appears that more exercise = more protein in the skin = a younger appearance! Maybe instead of melting pounds at the gym we will begin to hear about melting off years? techtimes/articles/5802/20140420/exercise-reverses-skin-aging-hit-the-gym-if-you-want-to-look-20s-even-when-in-your-40s.htm
