Biological age is influenced by genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors.
For example, someone might have a chronological age of 60, but due to a healthy lifestyle, their biological age could be significantly lower, indicating a more youthful physical state.
The concept of biological age can provide a more accurate representation of an individual’s health status than chronological age alone.
Research in this field is ongoing, but there are already biological age calculators on the internet that so far seem to correlate well with a person’s overall health.
One thing that the research shows unequivocally is that physical activity and exercise play a major role in lowering biological age.
Regular physical activity contributes to a youthful physical condition by improving cardiovascular health, strengthening muscles and bones, aiding in weight management and enhancing mental health.
Regular physical activity contributes to a youthful physical condition.
Exercise also reduces the risk of age-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and most types of cancer.
The biological effects of exercise on cellular health, regeneration and repair are the mechanisms that slow down the ageing process at a cellular level.
Other factors that affect biological age include genetics, diet, psychological stress and sleep quality.
Injuries, aches and pains stop people from being physically active and take away one of the major factors in lowering biological age and improving health.
