A Finnish study tracked 1,039 participants over decades, using three epigenetic clocks to measure biological aging and diet quality.
Healthier diets, including Mediterranean, AHEI, and Baltic Sea patterns, were linked to slower biological aging, especially among those with low exercise levels.
The findings suggest that consistent, balanced eating habits—rich in plants, healthy fats, and whole grains—can meaningfully support healthy aging, offering an accessible strategy for those struggling with regular exercise.
