Experts reveal factors that accelerate your biological age
Biological age, unlike chronological age, reflects how well your body functions based on lifestyle, stress, and cellular health, and can be reversed through lifestyle changes.
Experts like Dr. Mattias Bernow and Dr. Mohammed Enayat emphasize that factors such as chronic stress, poor sleep, lack of exercise, and ultra-processed foods accelerate biological aging by increasing inflammation.
Simple lifestyle adjustments such as quality sleep, regular exercise, a balanced diet, and meaningful relationships can slow down biological aging.
Supplements like protein, collagen, fish oil, magnesium, creatine, and polyphenols can support healthy aging when used thoughtfully alongside healthy habits, but should not replace them.
Determining biological age requires blood tests that analyze DNA methylation patterns, such as the Horvath Clock, GlycanAge, and DunedinPACE, with experts advocating for consistency in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle over extreme measures.
