Israeli scientists say they have reversed the biological aging process. Every time a cell inside our body replicates, a slither of our youth crumbles into dust. The structures that 'cap' the tips of our chromosomes are called the telomeres. Every time a cell replication happens these telomeres become shorter and shorter. scientists say they've been able to reverse this process and extend the length of telomeres

Adults over the age of 64 were involved in this study. volunteers sat in a pressuiized chamber and were asked to breathe through a mask. The mask provided 100% oxygen and each participant sat in the chamber for 90 minutes, five days a week. Results showed that some of their cell's telomeres were extended by up to 20 percent. The changes were equivalent to how the participants’ bodies were at the cellular level 25 years earlier. This therapy not only delayed the aging process It actually reversed it
