Article Synopsis
- As people get older, age-related diseases are becoming more common, which puts pressure on healthcare systems, making it important to support healthy ageing.
- Researchers looked at over 3,900 postmenopausal women to study how certain nutrients affect biological age using a tool called the PhenoAge epigenetic clock.
- They found that eating more good nutrients like coumestrol and beta-carotene can slow down ageing, while too much sugar and certain fats can speed it up.
