A recent study from NIH scientists found that middle-aged adults who eat lower-quality, pro-inflammatory diets may actually age faster—at the DNA level! The research followed African American and White adults in Baltimore for 5 years and used DNA methylation tests (the DunedinPACE clock) to measure their biological aging. Results? Those with healthier diets aged more slowly, while a poor diet accelerated aging—regardless of race, sex, or income. The message is clear: Eating a more nutritious, less inflammatory diet can help slow the pace of aging and support a longer, healthier life!
