Abstract
•Increased systemic oxidative stress contributes to accelerated telomere attrition.•Accelerated telomere attrition is associated with accelerated cellular aging, increased risk for degenerative diseases, and reduced longevity.•Reducing systemic oxidative stress attenuates accelerated telomere attrition and may reduce the risk for degenerative diseases and reduced longevity.•Increasing the intakes of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables and supplementing the diet with α-lipoic acid; eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid; trans-resveratrol; N-acetylcysteine; lutein; vitamins C, D, and E; and γ-tocotrienol decreases cellular oxidative stress and may decelerate biological aging.
