We all get old eventually if we're lucky, but not always at the same rate.
While everyone's chronological age advances uniformly, biological age can vary depending on factors such as genes, the air we breathe, and the food we eat.
Diet is one of the modifiable factors linked to resilience to the rigors of aging. It can affect inflammation, metabolism, cardiovascular health, and other systems that tend to shift as we age.
These effects can make us seem younger than we really are at the cellular level.
According to a new study, nutritious food may provide this benefit even if your chronological age is already relatively high. Starting young might be best, but the results suggest that dietary changes in older age still offer an effective way to rapidly improve biomarkers linked to aging.
