How a vegan diet affects aging 

Only around 1% of Americans are vegan — avoiding any food product related to animals. So, when researchers came up with the idea of checking out the benefits of avoiding meat and more by looking at 22 sets of twins — one put on a healthy vegan diet, one on a healthy omnivore diet — that offered a pretty good way of assessing the impact.

The eight-week study explored how those two diets turned on or off each twin’s epi-genes, genes that respond to environmental impacts and influence biological aging.

The researchers discovered that a vegan diet makes changes to the molecular markers in genes that determine what time it is along a person’s journey toward older age. In all, they found 12 “clocks” that indicated that the vegans were headed toward a younger RealAge. The meat-eaters just grew older.

Now, you may not opt for a vegan diet — Dr. Mike would never give up omega-3-packing salmon. But you can be guided by this additional evidence that what you eat has a huge impact, very quickly, on how you age. So ditch all red and processed meats, opt for skinless poultry and lots of fatty fish, and seven to nine servings a day of fruits and vegetables. That will switch on your health-promoting epi-genes — and make your jeans fit better, too!
