Do You Want to Slow Your Biological Clock? Avoid These Foods

Eating many ultra-processed foods (UPFs) — such as soda, processed meats, and packaged snacks — can accelerate one’s age.

This acceleration isn’t just because these foods are low in nutrition.

Other factors might be involved, too.

We already know that eating lots of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) might be linked to some signs of aging, like memory problems and weaker bodies.

Researchers have yet to explore the relationship between biological aging and ultra-processed foods.

The relationship between biological aging and UPF has yet to be well explored.

A New Study

Researchers wanted to see how eating ultra-processed foods (UPFs) affects aging.

They studied over 22,000 people in Italy, with an average age of 55.

Here’s how they did it:

• Food Diaries: Participants tracked everything they ate and drank. Foods were grouped by how processed they were (from fresh fruit to packaged snacks). The researchers paid close attention to the amount of UPFs…
