Keep Off Chips, Burgers Stay Younger

New Delhi: Love to binge on ultra-processed food (UPFs) like chips, biscuits, sausages, burgers, soft drinks, and instant noodles? Beware, these can make you age faster biologically, warned a study.

A person's biological age is a relatively new way of measuring a person's health. It refers to how old a person seems based on various molecular biomarkers.

A person with a healthy lifestyle may have a biological age younger than their chronological age, while poor lifestyle choices, such as a diet high in UPFs, can accelerate biological ageing, said researchers from Monash University in Australia.
