- We are all exactly the same age... but can YOU guess whose lifestyle has aged them by ten years, who is 'biologically 36' and who has lopped years off their score?
The article discusses how individuals share the same chronological age but differ in biological aging due to lifestyle factors. It challenges readers to identify which person appears ten years older, has a biological age of 36, or has significantly reduced their biological age.
- Having a young biological age could help with weight loss
A small study found that calorie restriction led to greater weight loss in individuals with a biological age younger than their chronological age. The research suggests a link between youthful biological age and enhanced weight loss through dietary measures.
- There are only a few anti-ageing supplements that actually work
The article discusses that only a few anti-aging supplements have been shown to effectively improve biological age, despite the author's initial skepticism. Columnist Graham Lawton acknowledges limited evidence supporting certain supplements in this area.
- A neurologist says 'super movers' have younger brains — here's how to reap the benefits yourself
A neurologist's research suggests that 'super movers'—older adults who walk briskly—have younger brains and lower risks of cognitive decline and disease. Dr. Joe Verghese's studies indicate that maintaining a fast walking pace after 80 correlates with better memory, mood, and reduced biological aging.
- 20 things you do every day that are making you older faster than you should be
The article discusses how daily habits significantly influence biological age, which reflects cellular and systemic aging. It highlights that behaviors with strong evidence are linked to accelerated aging.
- I lost 5 stone and took 20 years off my biological age... without weight-loss jabs. Here are the 16 simple tweaks I made to look like this at 62. Get this subscriber article only in the Morning Mail newsletter

- These longevity meal swaps may lower your biological age — while saving time and money
A study in Australia found that replacing some meat with plant-based proteins and saturated fats with complex carbohydrates in a Western diet improved health metrics and biological age in older adults, without reducing strength. Participants aged 65-75 consumed freshly prepared meals for a month, showing benefits when 70% of protein came from plants and 30% from animals.
- ‘Are we just going to give up and die like every other generation?’
Robby Wade, CEO of Rythm Health, led a mass blood draw event in Berkeley, California, using Tasso devices to collect health data on hormones, metabolism, and biological age from around 100 participants.
- Gene clock predicts time to death in humans – and assesses ‘biological’ age
A study published in Nature on May 27, 2026, introduces a gene-based cellular-ageing clock that predicts human mortality and assesses biological age. The method, which analyzes gene activity, is described as more sensitive than previous measures of biological age.
- Diet change tied to ‘younger’ biological age in older adults after 4 weeks
A University of Sydney study found that changing diets in older adults (aged 65-75) for four weeks reduced their biological age in three of four diet groups. Diets varied in protein sources (animal vs. plant-based) and macronutrient focus (high-fat vs. high-carb), with the most significant improvements seen in diets rich in complex carbohydrates and plant-based components. Researchers caution results are preliminary and may reflect short-term effects.
