A new study suggests that it is time to rethink and take control of our body’s age. The research suggests that simple healthy behaviors can add years to life by slowing biological aging and reducing the risk of heart disease. The Essential 8 Habits, as listed by the American Heart Association, include eating foods high in fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, reducing stress and anxiety, exercising regularly, staying hydrated, protecting your skin, checking in with your doctor, and maintaining dental hygiene.
The American Heart Association recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week, eating a balanced diet full of vegetables, nuts, and lean protein, and not eating too little or too much. The study also suggests cutting saturated fat and increasing omega-3 fats, consuming less or no red meat, losing cake and ice cream, and consuming more complex carbs like whole grains.
To slow aging, individuals should prioritize eating better, being more active, quitting tobacco, getting a healthy amount of sleep, managing weight, and controlling cholesterol levels. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to slow cellular ageing by boosting mitochondria regeneration.
To slow aging by up to six years, individuals should adopt a healthy diet, be more active, quit smoking, get healthy sleep, and include physical activity in their daily routine. Protecting their skin from the sun daily, using self-tanner instead of tanning, stopping smoking, and avoiding repetitive facial expressions are essential steps to maintain physical health.

How to slow down aging face?
Dermatologists recommend daily sun protection, using self-tanner instead of tanning, quitting smoking, avoiding repetitive facial expressions, maintaining a healthy diet, and reducing alcohol consumption to prevent premature skin aging. They also address various skin conditions such as acne, eczema, hair loss, psoriasis, Rosacea, and skin cancer. Acne-prone skin can be treated DIY, and dermatologists can provide advice on types and treatments.
Why am I ageing so fast?
Sun exposure is a major cause of premature aging, with UV light and sunlight causing 90% of visible skin changes, including age spots and skin cancer. High-energy visible (HEV) and infrared light, which come from the sun and electronic devices, affect collagen and skin elasticity. Other environmental or lifestyle factors contributing to premature aging include smoking, which toxins in nicotine alter cells, causing sagging, wrinkles, and a hollow face.
Unhealthy diets high in sugar or refined carbohydrates may cause premature aging, while diets rich in fruits and vegetables help prevent these changes. Alcohol consumption can dehydrate and damage skin over time, leading to premature aging signs. Poor sleep and stress can also contribute to premature aging, as cortisol, a stress hormone, blocks two substances that keep skin looking plump and vibrant: hyaluronan synthase and collagen. It is essential to manage these factors to prevent premature aging and maintain a youthful appearance.
What age is the prime of a woman’s beauty?
The average woman between the ages of 20 and 25 is perceived as the most beautiful. However, some women, particularly those with youthful, “baby face” appearances, are considered more attractive as they age into their 30s or 40s. This is attributed to a combination of factors, including the development of more pronounced feminine characteristics and a more curvaceous physique.
What age do you start aging rapidly?
A study in Nature Medicine found that a NIH-funded research team can reliably gauge a person’s age by analyzing blood samples for protein levels. The results suggest that the biological aging process is not steady and appears to accelerate periodically, with the greatest bursts occurring around ages 34, 60, and 78. This suggests that a blood test could be developed to identify individuals who are aging faster biologically than others, potentially at risk for cardiovascular problems, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoarthritis, and other age-related health issues. The study also raises hope for interventions that may slow down the “proteomic clock” and help keep people biologically younger than their chronological age.
What age do you start looking better?
A study published in the Journal of Royal Society open access suggests that people look their best in their 30s. Factors contributing to this appearance include decreased cheek fat, less buccal fat, more prudent sun protection, more careless skin care in teens and 20s, better financial position in their 30s, and acceptance of different facial features. Choke fat tends to decrease, making cheekbones more prominent, and less buccal fat makes the jawline appear more prominent and contoured.
Sun exposure decreases due to reduced outdoor activities may also contribute to a more chiselled appearance. People become more careless with their skin in their teens and 20s, understanding their concerns and needs by the late 20s. Financially, people make better nutritional and health choices in their 30s. Despite initial insecurities, people in their 30s accept and celebrate their unique facial features.
Does coffee age you quicker?
The study found that caffeine intake significantly influenced the age-related rate of telomere shortening in U. S. adults. For each 100 mg of caffeine consumed, telomeres were 53. 3 base pairs shorter for women and 25. 4 base pairs shorter for men. For each 100 g of coffee consumed, telomeres were 18. 0 base pairs longer for women and 12. 4 base pairs longer for men. The relationship between caffeine intake and telomere length remained significant and inverse, with women experiencing 53.
3 base pairs shorter for each 100 mg of caffeine consumed and men experiencing 25. 4 base pairs shorter for each 100 g of coffee consumed. These findings suggest that caffeine intake can impact telomere length and aging in U. S. adults.
Do you age slower if you sleep more?
Sleep is crucial for maintaining hydration and preventing fluid retention, which contributes to fatigue and aging. It also helps in maintaining healthy circulation and slowing arterial aging, which is the damage caused by age-related damage to the heart and blood vessels. Sleep can lower blood pressure, relax blood vessels, and improve blood flow, bringing nutrients and a healthy color to the skin.
Poor circulation and arterial aging also contribute to the appearance of aging on the skin and hair. Additionally, sleep helps reduce stress, which increases cortisol production, free radical cells, and weakens the body’s ability to repair itself.
How can I stop rapid aging?
As you age, your body undergoes changes and internal processes slow down, leading to changes in how it functions and appears. Skin and face are often the first indicators of aging, but there are ways to prevent this by changing your diet, wearing sunscreen, using retinoid, not being afraid of plastic surgery, and limiting alcohol and caffeine intake.
A healthy diet is crucial for a balanced and youthful appearance. Poor eating can result in acne and premature skin aging. Health professionals suggest that eating healthy doesn’t necessarily mean strict limitations or depriving yourself of favorite foods. Instead, it’s about eating habits that promote skin health. Healthline recommends foods like extra virgin olive oil, green tea, fatty fish, avocados, vegetables, flaxseeds, pomegranates, cinnamon, capsaicin, ginger, bone broth, tomatoes, and dark chocolate. By incorporating these foods into your diet, you can help prevent signs of early aging and maintain a youthful appearance.
Why am I looking old all of a sudden?
UV ray exposure, poor diet, smoking, alcohol, and stress can cause inflammation and damage to the skin, leading to the breakdown of connective tissue, collagen, and elastin. Sleep, which plays a crucial role in skin turnover and renewal, can also accelerate aging. These effects can start in the 40s or 50s, and early signs may indicate premature skin aging. To prevent premature aging, daily sunscreen use, avoiding tanning, getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, not smoking, and limiting alcohol use are recommended.
At what age does your face change most?
As we age, our face naturally changes shape due to loose skin, sagging bones, and weaker muscles. Most people notice this shift around their 40s and 50s, with some even noticing it in their 30s. However, these physical changes also come with changes in our face’s appearance. Treatments are available to help individuals achieve their desired appearance. Common areas of the face that change as we age include the eyes, which become thin and heavily sag over time. Eyelids are another common area where the effects of aging take place, and there are various procedures available to help individuals achieve their desired facial shape.
Can aging be slowed down?
The human aging process is regulated by certain cellular processes, and influencing these processes may help slow down the ageing process and improve health as we age. Diet and exercise are the main influences on the rate of ageing in most animals, with dietary restriction leading to healthier and longer lives in some animals. However, it seems that the amount of food we eat is more important than the nutrients in food. For example, fruit flies fed a diet high in protein and amino acids die earlier than those fed a balanced diet.
Studies have also shown that a reduced intake of certain amino acids has a positive effect on health, even in humans. These findings suggest that avoiding a high-protein diet may prolong life and improve health in old age. However, most beneficial diets in model organisms are difficult to maintain in humans, so further research is needed to understand the impact of diet on ageing.

Okay, as for putting colloidal silver in your eyes, I have put colloidal silver in my eyes and I ingested it. However, you as a scientist should know that true colloidal silver is not the same thing as ionic silver. Many health food stores sell what they call colloidal silver which actually contain ionic silver. Ionic silver is unstable and can react with sunlight. Ionic silver can be made at home by a process called electrolysis. Colloidal silver cannot be made at home and is actually stable. Ionic silver taken in very large quantities can actually change the color of your skin. On another topic, iron. There’s a difference between organic iron and inorganic minerals. Since the human body cannot process inorganic minerals, these inorganic minerals are toxic to the human body. People who are deemed deficient in iron should eat more green leafy vegetables like spinach to obtain organic iron. So yes, I can understand why consuming elemental iron/ inorganic iron would age you. Iron essentially rusts when it comes in contact with water or moisture. That would be poison in the body. Another topic; statin drugs. I was prescribed statin drugs many years ago by my doctor who decided my cholesterol levels were too high. I began having facial muscle spasms and my heart began to flutter. I never had problems with my heart until I started with the statin drugs. I quit taking the drugs and looked for another doctor. I came to the belief that every person’s body is different and produces a different amount of cholesterol.
The reason why NAD declines more in those with obesity is because adipose tissue is one of the largest stores of inflammatory cells in the body. Inflammation correlates with reduced NAD because inflammatory cells have a surface enzyme called CD38 that degrades NAD. The main activator of CD38 is endotoxin released from pathogenic gut bacteria that increases with sugar, saturated fats, food additives etc so anyone who consumes processed food has chronic inflammation and is breaking down NAD. Obese individuals have significantly more inflammation and less NAD simply because of the larger amount of inflamed adipose tissue. Stop eating processed food, reduce adipose tissue= higher NAD levels.
I am laughing so fucking hard…. my family and friends have spent my whole life telling me I would die soon bc of my habits… well well turns out that those things are the ones he recommends (eating once a day, exercisiong without taking protein supplements, being a vegetarian, not eating every time I was hungry or not eating breakfast lunch and dinner etc…) also they now come to me looking for advice as to how to look like I do (slim yet strong and younger than I am…. i also like everything to do with skincare so I guess my life habits and all the skincare I do really do work bc most ppl dont believe my age when they meet me…)
Just my opinion, but this is one of the least informative episodes I’ve heard since the start of the podcast. So much “probably, maybe, for me, perhaps”. The guy says he fasts 22 hours a day but he drinks Diet Coke and eats Yogurt and takes a million pills per day. You’ve gotta enjoy life he says but his life sounds extremely unenjoyable. I will admit he looks young, sure, but so do people who dye their hair and use moisturizer and sunscreen. Weak sauce. Moving on to the next episode.
Typical of science, there is no recognition that our essence that generates our physical body is our spirit. The information David is speaking is likely 100% present in the spirit and we just need techniques to access and activate it. One method that does this quite well is the Neuromodulation technique.
I really love the intelect of all the Huberman interviews, but you guys in the US really take too many extra drugs and supplements, even on your own account. Here in Germany you must have to get a doctor involved for most of the effective drugs, which I think is reasonable. Can’t you just stick to a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle? Better don’t mess up too much with your biochemistry. We still understand to little of it
I recently listened to your conversation. I wanted to share some information that may be of interest to you. Research papers indicate that niacin does increase NAD+ in both muscle and blood, but the effect may be dose-dependent. In a study conducted by Pirinen et al, blood NAD+ increased up to 8-fold, and muscle NAD+ of patients reached the level of their controls when they administered an increasing dose of NAD+-booster niacin (750-1,000 mg/day) to patients and their matched controls for 10 or 4 months, respectively (Cell Metab. 2020 Jun 2;31:1078-1090.e5). Similarly, in another study by the same group, a dosage of 100 mg of niacin did not significantly increase NAD+ levels, while a dosage of 500 mg increased NAD+ by 5.6-fold. These findings suggest that NAD+ production may indeed be dose-dependent. Although I am not an expert in this field, given that niacin is one of the precursors of NAD+ and the historical success of Vitamin B3 in treating Pellagra and mitochondrial myopathy in patients over the past 40 plus years, it seems reasonable to expect that Vitamin B3 supplementation could increase NAD+ production in the muscle and blood. I greatly respect and appreciate your public health education podcasts and would love to hear your thoughts on these findings. Eun-Hee (Park) Cirlin, Ph.D.
Firstly, I am grateful for all of these podcasts and say the following with absolute respect to our learned professor. Traditional Asian medicine, be it Thai, Indian, Chinese, Tibetan – ALL talk about the health benefits of not eating in the evening, often not eating after midday. These medical systems are far more nuanced in how they talk about it, with information about the times and reasons to break this habit, ways to go about it etc. This is not esoteric information – it’s pretty accessible really. Buddhist monks and nuns have been fasting after the midday meal for centuries, probably thousands of years. And they do it with knowledge of the affects on both the body and mind, it’s not random or uninformed and it’s not just because of tradition or religion. Again, I adore Dr. H., but listening to all these western doctors and scientists act if they discovered it shines a strong spotlight on the ethnocentric/western biomedicine-centric bias and I can’t help but think that some of them might want to chat with some traditional medicine practitioners. Earlier today I saw a plaque that told the story of the first white men to set eyes on a local mountain – they promptly named it after a British admiral despite the fact that the local indigenous people already had a name for that mountain. Seeing that plaque, then listening to this podcast felt quite synchronous. I understand the need for modern science to understand things through its own lens and do its own studies, but claiming to have invented or discovered something that’s been known about for hundreds/thousands of years by like half the planet might deserve a second take.
I am a US MD graduate from a top 20 medical school, soon to be board certified in Internal Medicine. I practice Primary Care in California, and much of my time is spent counseling patients about blood test results. Many patients ask for blood tests that they have no idea how to interpret. For the general public without any science or medicine background, I don’t like to order a panel of blood tests that won’t lead to meaningful changes in their lifestyle or health status. Sure, it can increase a level of health-consciousness if there is an abnormal result, but it just as frequently leads to illness anxiety and increased healthcare utilization that doesn’t make a long-term impact.
I did not hear any of you mention anything about raw food. If you are going to speak about anti aging or slowing down the aging process, I would think you would cover the topic of raw food and the enzyme aspect. First of all, as scientists you know that what we do as modern humans, as far as cooking our food before we consume it is not natural. No other living species on the planet kills its food before consuming it. Cooked food is food. If the enzymes in the food are destroyed, then it is dead food. The human food does not have the capacity to produce an unlimited number of enzymes. The enzymes the body produces are basically metabolic enzymes which repair the body. However, because we live on dead food, the body converts the metabolic enzymes into digestive enzymes because digestion is a priority. If what we ingest does not get digested, it becomes a poison and we can die. Over a period of time, this habit becomes to take a toll on the human body and begins to show signs of premature aging. Since the body is no longer repairing itself like it naturally should. It is estimated by some scientists that humans should live to around 150 years. As an experiment, I went in a raw food diet for a year and a half. I came down from 155 lbs to 135 lbs. I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror but I felt fantastic. All my body aches and pains disappeared including my allergies. I felt like a teenager again. I felt like I could run so I went jogging. I timed myself. I jogged two miles in 14 minutes.
