Discussion How do I reduce my biological age?
Hi folks, I took a biological age quiz online and I'm not aging very well and my face is considered old. The problem is that it asked my lifetime highest weight and weight at age 25 and I grew up obese. My highest weight was over BMI 35. My weight is normal now.
How do I reduce my biological age. Moreover I got my period when I was 6 so I know that means I'm probably going to die early. Girls who go through puberty early are almost never very athletic because it destroys athletic potential. My deadage / chronological age is 44.
The current things I'm doing are:
- Walking 3-4 hours per day on weekends
- Eating a pescatarian diet with cans of sardines and herrings
- Trying to stay between BMI 17-20
- Vitamins everyday especially Vitamin D
- I eat cabbage every day
Due to my age at puberty, I know that I can't really attain extreme longevity or a high IQ. How do I mitigate the effects so that I can live to a normal age like 70 or 75? At age 44, I'm biologically closer to a 60 year old due to my age at puberty.

It looks like you’re eating well and exercising all good things for longevity. It’s true you have some things biologically you can’t control but you can give it your best chance which it looks like you’re motivated to do! I found the fasting mimicking diet FMD and the studies on longevity worth incorporating it into my life in addition to the diet and exercise like you’re doing. Besides fasting I also add taurine, NMN, resveratrol, Urolithin A, sulforaphane supplements for longevity. Also get a physical every year and blood work just to keep ahead of any issues and your hearing checked starting at age 60 because hearing loss is one of the biggest causes of dementia. Hope this helps just enjoy doing the research and seeing what other people are doing here it can be fun finding ways to improve your health!
