"8 Ways to Reverse Aging and Improve Heart Health: Scientists Reveal the Key Habits"

Following the "Life's Essential 8" recommendations from the American Heart Association can significantly slow down biological aging, according to a new analysis by Columbia University researchers. Incorporating behaviors such as eating a healthy diet, being physically active, quitting tobacco, getting enough sleep, managing weight, controlling cholesterol levels, managing blood sugar, and maintaining healthy blood pressure can lead to a difference of up to five years between chronological age and biological age. The study suggests that lifestyle factors may be even more important than genetic inheritance in determining biological age, although further research is needed to validate the findings.
