Remember, each of these food items belongs to a particular brand Dr. Hyman prefers but is also available in other brands. He recommends and promotes certain brands on his website, but that doesn't mean that other brands are ineffective.

Following a healthy lifestyle can slow down premature aging and has various health benefits.

However, no list of food can magically reduce your age like that. It's true that a healthy lifestyle can make your body perform, as it's younger, but biological age depends on many factors, including genetics, epigenetics, lifestyle, medical history and environmental factors.
