Can You Reverse Aging? Experts Reveal Secrets
Biohackers and Scientists Offer Insights on Biological vs. Chronological Age
Some individuals are investing heavily to slow the aging process, focusing on nutrition, supplements, and personalized medicine. However, accessible alternatives exist. Two British authors detail how they’ve significantly reduced their biological age, offering insights for everyone.
Understanding Biological Age
Your chronological age represents how long you’ve lived, while biological age reflects the condition of your cells and organs. For instance, Bryan Johnson, a biohacker, is 47 but reportedly has a heart like a 37-year-old and the fitness of an 18-year-old. This demonstrates the difference between these two ages.
Professor Cathal McCrory from Trinity College Dublin explains that chronological age alone doesn’t fully capture the aging process. He states, “Consider two same-aged peers of 50. The number of years that have passed is technically the same for both of them, but the ageing experience may be very different. Even identical twins age differently, despite sharing 100 per cent of their DNA.”
Practical Steps to Slow Aging
Journalist and author Sandra Parsons, a British author, exemplifies how aging can be slowed. She has successfully reduced her “real” age of 63 by roughly 40 years.
According to a study, lifestyle factors can account for up to 80% of the variation in aging (Source 2019).
