Study Reveals Accelerated Aging Phases at 44 and 60
Research links midlife biological changes to increased health risks and offers strategies for mitigation.
- Researchers identified two key periods of accelerated aging: mid-40s and early 60s.
- These phases are associated with declines in metabolism, heart health, and cognitive function.
- Dietary adjustments, such as reducing carbs and increasing protein, can help manage midlife changes.
- Exercise, particularly weight training, is crucial for maintaining muscle mass and reducing health risks.
- Social engagement and learning new skills are recommended to support brain health and slow cognitive decline.
