Even minor changes in daily dietary patterns can positively influence a person's biological age, according to a new study conducted by scientists at the University of Sydney.
The study involved 104 volunteers aged 65 to 75. They were assigned dietary regimens with varying ratios of fats, carbohydrates, and animal proteins. The experiment lasted for a total of four weeks.
To assess the participants' health, researchers analyzed over 20 biological markers, including cholesterol, insulin, and C-reactive protein. Based on these, they calculated a biological age index reflecting the body's overall condition and rate of aging.
Results indicated that reducing the intake of fats or animal proteins is associated with a decrease in biological age. The most significant changes were observed in participants who switched to a high-carbohydrate and moderate-fat diet.
The authors note that while these findings are preliminary, even small adjustments to dietary habits can have a rapid impact on the aging process and overall health status.
