"8 Steps to Slow Biological Aging by 6 Years: New Research Reveals"
A new study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that adults with high cardiovascular health were biologically about 6 years younger than their chronological age. The study used the American Heart Association's "Life's Essential 8" checklist, which includes lifestyle behaviors such as eating better, being more active, and managing weight, to determine individuals' levels of heart health. The research suggests that following these steps for heart health can slow down the body's aging process and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, leading to a longer and healthier life.
