How to live longer: Five lifestyle habits proven to reverse your biological age
Too often the ageing process is viewed in fatalistic terms – people simply resign to the poor health outcomes that often come with age. However, you can actually reverse your biological age, according to Peter Ward, CEO and Co-Founder of Humanity, an app launching this summer that aims to help users to optimise and engineer positive health outcomes as they age. “Ageing is the leading cause of disease in the UK (and the whole world), and while chronological ageing (time since birth) is inevitable, biological ageing (your functional age) is not,” he explained.
Secondly, you should consume “age-defying superfoods”, advised Mr Ward.
He explained: “We hear about super-foods all the time, and the overarching health benefits of eating a rainbow diet and reducing your meat intake are well documented, and as a result, they could help extend your healthspan (years of healthy fully functional life) and lifespan.”
Are there specific foods that can support the ageing process?
Mr Ward drew attention to a review published in the journal Elsevier that explored the literature on fermented foods ability delay ageing and increase lifespan.
The review cited a number of studies that highlighted a reported a series of anti-aging related benefits from consuming fermented foods.
