Certain lifestyle habits such as maintaining a healthy diet and getting enough physical activity may slow the process of biological aging, a new study found. The research, published in May in the Journal of the American Heart Association, found that people who prioritized eight heart-healthy behaviors had a lower risk of heart disease and all-cause mortality. These benefits were even greater for people predisposed to faster biological aging.
A person's biological age refers to the state and health of their body, rather than how long they’ve been alive.
Someone whose biological age is higher than their chronological age is experiencing a process known as accelerated aging, and they may be more likely to develop certain health conditions, including cardiovascular issues.2 Accelerated aging can be influenced by social determinants—such as access to healthcare—but genetic factors also play a role.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I maintain physical activity by walking the classroom all day plus my daily three mile walk. I do have issues with few thing; sleep duration, blood sugar and blood pressure. The last two I have been able to keep under control but the sleep, that's a whole different issue.

I've been engaging in consistent aerobic activity for over 5 decades, first jogging and now biking. I'm logging 750 miles per year.
