that eating plant-based foods rich in natural substances called methyl adaptogens can potentially slow biological aging.

Biological age is the age of our cells and tissues — it may be higher or lower than our chronological age, which is the number of years we’ve been alive. Factors like genetics, environmental exposures, sleep habits,

Researchers from the University of Washington and other institutions wanted to investigate how dietary choices can influence DNA methylation, a process that regulates gene activity without changing the DNA sequence itself.

More DNA methylation at specific sites in the genome is associated with a higher biological age.

The authors followed 43 healthy, middle-aged men from Portland, Oregon. The participants had finished an eight-week program that emphasized a plant-based, nutrient-rich diet as well as exercise, sleep and stress reduction.

The researchers determined that those who ate more

, which have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They may help slow genetic aging by interfering with enzymes involved in DNA methylation.

It’s no coincidence that the Mediterranean diet, which promotes heart health and weight management, is rich in polyphenols.

The new study showed a correlation between restricted food groups such as legumes, dairy and alcohol and change in biological age. 2025 Villanueva et al.

Participants with a higher biological than chronological age at the start of the study were more likely to turn back the clock. Unintentional weight loss was a common side effect, but it did not predict a decline in biological age.

The researchers acknowledged the small sample size and said future studies should include a larger and more diverse population, as well as newer biological age measures to confirm these results.

Inside the ‘methylation diet’

The study authors recommend daily consumption of dark leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage), colorful vegetables,
