Diet change tied to ‘younger’ biological age in older adults after 4 weeks
A recent study indicates that dietary changes can lead to a reduction in biological age among older adults within just four weeks.

The study measured various health biomarkers to assess the impact of these dietary modifications on aging.

- ▪Diets rich in complex carbohydrates and plant-based components showed the most significant improvements in biological age.
- ▪Biological age is determined by health indicators rather than chronological age, reflecting individual health status.
