Sydney Study Finds 4-Week Plant-Rich Diets Cut Biological Age in Adults 65-75

104 adults aged 65 to 75 showed lower biological age after four weeks on three of four test diets, with the strongest gains in plant-rich, complex-carbohydrate plans.
20 biomarkers—including cholesterol and insulin—were used to gauge biological age, which reflects health status and resilience rather than years lived.
One high-fat omnivorous diet was the only regimen that produced no meaningful change, while the other omnivorous and semi-vegetarian diets reduced biological age.
University of Sydney researchers said the Aging Cell findings are preliminary and capture short-term effects only, stopping short of proving longer life from diet changes later in life.
Why did a high-carb diet outperform high-fat in making older adults biologically younger?
Can a one-month diet truly reverse your biological age, or is it just a fleeting health boost?
