Which Interventions Actually Turn Back Your Epigenetic Clock in Humans
This review suggests exercise, omega-3s, and a plant-rich diet may lower epigenetic age in people.
Researchers gathered 41 human studies to see what really lowers your epigenetic age, the newer clocks tied to death risk. Exercise, a plant-rich diet, semaglutide, calorie cutting, omega-3s, and a multivitamin showed promise. But popular bets like nicotinamide riboside, rapamycin, and senolytics showed no measurable effect.
