Vitamin intake for slowing biological aging 🧬
Which vitamins make a difference?
Association between vitamin intake and biological aging: evidence from NHANES 2007-2018
Study Details
This new cross-sectional study included data from 15,050 participants to assess the daily intakes of 11 vitamins and associations with biological aging 🔍
Here is what they found ⬇️
Key Findings
Higher total vitamin intake was significantly associated with reduced biological aging 🥗
Dose-response relationships were linear (higher vitamin intake = lower biological age) 📈
Stronger associations were observed in males and individuals with comorbidity 🙋♂️
🌟 The primary protective drivers were vitamin C and vitamin B2
Conclusion
Consuming a vitamin rich diet and prioritising foods high in vitamin C (e.g. citrus fruits, berries) and B vitamins (e.g. meat, fish, dairy) likely supports healthy biological aging ✅
