High quality diets linked with slower pace of biologic aging

In a recent study titled 'Diet Quality and Epigenetic Aging in the Women's Health Initiative', it was found that high quality diets are associated with a slower pace of biologic aging. The study focused on postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 79. They looked at epigenetic age tests, specifically methylation profiles, which are linked to changes in cellular aging. The study revealed that poor quality diets, particularly those high in ultra-processed foods, are associated with a faster pace of biologic aging. This highlights the importance of consuming healthy, whole foods to optimize biologic age.
