Recent research suggests that consuming plant-based foods rich in polyphenols, such as turmeric, garlic, berries, and green tea, may help slow biological aging by reducing epigenetic age, a marker of cellular aging, although more diverse studies are needed to confirm these findings.
A study published in Aging journal suggests that certain plant-based foods like turmeric, green tea, berries, and garlic may reverse epigenetic aging in men over 50, potentially impacting health and longevity, though further research is needed.
A recent study published in Aging Journal found that consuming six plant-based foods—green tea, oolong tea, turmeric, rosemary, garlic, and berries—can help slow biological aging in men by decreasing epigenetic age, though further research with diverse populations is needed.
New research suggests that our biological age, as measured by epigenetic clocks based on DNA methylation patterns, may be a better predictor of cognitive performance than our chronological age. The study found that individuals with a higher biological age than their chronological age performed worse on tasks measuring processing speed and working memory. Additionally, those with a higher biological age showed more variability in their cognitive performance, indicating potentially less stable cognitive abilities. The findings highlight the importance of considering biological age in understanding age-related cognitive decline and may have implications for future approaches to aging and cognitive health.
