Recent research from the Helfgott Institute in the US indicates that biological age can be countered by lifestyle changes. The study involved participants aged between 52 and 70 and demonstrated that certain values associated with biological age can be positively influenced in just 8 weeks. In Romania, the Scientific Senate of the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania supports programs dedicated to the study of longevity. The "Blue Zones of Longevity" project has recently been initiated with the objective of identifying and analysing longevity factors in different areas of the country.
The Science Senate backs US Helfgott Institute research and publicizes the factors that contribute to biological age control.
A healthy diet
A key aspect of biological age control is diet. Participants followed a diet based on fish and green vegetables in a fasting-type eating program. Moderate intake of protein, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids had a significant impact on cellular health and ageing processes.
Sleep and relaxation
Quality sleep is equally important. Participants were encouraged to get a minimum of 8 hours sleep per night. Additionally, relaxation programs, meditation, and stress management were employed to maintain mental health and reduce the negative impact of stress on the body.
Exercise
Another crucial factor was regular physical activity. Cardiovascular exercise and strength training were beneficial for cardiovascular health, immune system function and the maintenance of muscle mass.
Dietary supplements
In addition to dietary modifications, participants were provided with nutritional supplements containing folic acid, probiotics, and vitamins. These played an important role in maintaining nutritional balance and supporting cellular functions.
The results were subjected to independent analysis at McGill University and the National University of Natural Medicine, which confirmed a significant reduction in biological age. This natural and non-pharmaceutical approach offers considerable potential for improving health and perhaps even longevity.
Best practice examples
Chris Mirabile, the owner of Novos, has become a success story in the field of biological age control. By following a comparable regimen, he was able to reduce his biological age from 39 to 26. Another case in point is that of Dan Go, also known as FitFounder on the X platform. The results of an experiment in which six women reduced their biological age by an average of five years in an eight-week programme were shared. The programme comprised dietary and lifestyle modifications.
In conclusion, biological age control is not merely a theoretical concept; it is a tangible and attainable reality for all. Adoption of a healthy lifestyle has the potential to positively influence the processes of ageing, thereby extending the duration and enhancing the quality of life.
