Making several specific lifestyle changes could slow biological aging by six years, according to a new study by the American Heart Association (AHA). Fox News Digital details the results.
The key is to incorporate "Life’s Essential 8," which the AHA defines as "the key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health." "Any progress toward improving heart health is clinically meaningful and promotes healthy longevity." "Everyone wants to live longer, yet more importantly, we want to live healthier longer, so we can really enjoy a good quality of life for as many years as possible." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
The details of the findings will be presented at the AHA’s Scientific Sessions 2023 from Nov. 11-13 in Philadelphia.
