Did you know there’s more to ageing than the number of years that have passed since being born? In fact, the difference between biological and chronological age can be significantly different.

If you’re feeling a little lost, allow us to break it down. Chronological age is simply the number of years you have been alive since birth. Biological age refers to the physical and functional changes that occur in the body over time. Basically, it’s a reflection of how well our body is ageing.

In this blog, we’ll cover our top ways for turning back your biological clock. Plus, we’ll share how you can test if your chronological age matches your biological one.

Biological vs chronological age

Have you ever heard someone say, "Age is just a number?" While it's true that age doesn't define us, it's important to recognise that there are two types of age that we experience: biological and chronological.

Chronological age is the number of years that have passed since birth. It can’t be changed. On the other hand, biological age reflects the physical and functional changes that take place in the body over time. As we age our biological age should be lower than our chronological age. Understanding the difference between these two types of age is crucial, as it can impact our health and longevity. 

Which is more important?

When it comes to the debate on which age is more important, the answer is not so simple.

While our chronological age is fixed by the number of years we have lived, our biological age is influenced by several factors. These include genetics, lifestyle choices, and the environment we live in. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can slow down biological ageing. Plus, it can lead to a longer and healthier life.

However, while it’s important to make lifestyle choices that promote healthy ageing, our chronological age is still a significant factor. It is essential to balance maintaining a healthy lifestyle and acknowledging our chronological age to make informed health decisions.

Can the ageing process be reversed?

It is not possible to completely reverse the ageing process. However, there are ways to slow down and even potentially reverse the effects of biological ageing.

As we established, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to promoting healthy ageing. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding unhealthy habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

Fortunately, we don't have to follow strict medicinal drug trials to reverse our biological age. Instead, it is something we can achieve through simple diet and lifestyle modifications. However, it’s important to learn the true age of our body before making any significant changes.

Finding out the body’s biological age

Typically, we assume that our bodies are functioning properly unless something goes wrong. But, what if there was a way to delve beneath the surface and determine our accurate biological age? That’s where the BioAge DNA Test comes in.

The BioAge DNA Test assesses the length of telomeres - organic "caps" that shield the end of DNA strands during cell replication. These "caps" naturally shorten in length each time cells divide. Ultimately shortening to such an extent that cells can no longer function and die. Although this progression occurs naturally throughout our lifetime, specific factors can hasten this process such as::

  • Poor diet
  • Lack of exercise
  • Smoking & alcohol consumption
  • Obesity
  • Stress

With the help of the BioAge test, NADclinic can precisely evaluate your body's biological age. It’s time to stop counting your age through the number of birthdays or wrinkles on your face. They’re only numbers and irrelevant. The number that holds any significance is your biological age.

Next steps

The BioAge Test offers several benefits in getting to know your body. This includes:

  • An individualised therapy plan based on your results.
  • Comprehensive support for your ageing process throughout your life.
  • Tailored advice regarding nutrition, lifestyle, and nutrients to decelerate the ageing process.
  • Recommendations for personalised supplements that align with your unique requirements.

Through DNA screening, we can create a personalised NAD+ Anti-Ageing IV Infusion Regimen to help maintain or improve the age of your cells. With the BioAge DNA test, it’s now easier than ever to get to know your body’s biological age. If you’re interested in taking the first step in optimising your overall health consider this test.
