Several scientific studies have said that a vegetarian diet follows many benefits, including improving heart health, weight control and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. A new research published in the ‘British Medicine Association Journal’ confirmed these results and pointed out that the diet of the diet could reduce the biological age. The biological age is the physiological and functional state of the individual, unlike his temporary age, which is merely the number of years he lived. Biological age is determined by many important and health indicators, including similar patterns of DNA, telomer length, physical and cognitive functions. Telomarat is the repeated nucleotide ranges found in the ends of chromosomes, and it is an essential element in the aging process found in the cells, and the shorter the aging is, the faster. The biological age index, as opposed to chronological age, provides biological age, a more accurate reflection of the health of the individual in general, and the ability to develop disease, and the length of its potential age, because it takes into account the cumulative effects of genetic factors, lifestyle and the environment on body systems. The study that affects the vegetarian diet for eight weeks is examined by biological age estimates, based on the levels of DNA, which is a decisive genetic adjustment associated with aging. The example of the DNA is to add the methyl collection to the DNA, which often affects the genetic expression without changing the order of the DNA itself. This genetic amendment plays an important role in organizing different biological processes, and previous research has shown that the increasing levels of DNA are closely related to the aging process. In this way, the measurement of the patterns of DNA provides visions about the biological age of the individual, which may differ from his time age. The study ruled a small random experiment containing 21 pairs of identical twins. And the use of identical twins is especially worthy because it enables researchers to control genetic variation, and the effects of vegetarian diet are isolated on DNA and biological age. One of the twins was assigned to each man to follow a system other than the other. The researchers ordered one of the twins to eat between 170 and 225 grams of meat, the one egg and a half and a half dairy products each day, while the other asked him to eat a vegetable diet for the same period. The sample consists of 77% of women (32), the average age of the participants was 40 years, and the average body mass index had 26 kg per square meter. During the first four weeks of the study, the participants prepared meals for them, and during the next four weeks the participants ate meals they prepared for themselves after receiving nutrition lessons from health teachers. The authors of the study in the effects of the diet at the levels of the DNA by analyzing the blood samples collected from the participants on the base, the fourth week and the eighth week of the study. They used similar levels of DNA to end the biological ages of the participants and their organic systems. Satisfactory aging and the results of the study show that the participants who followed a vegetarian diet for 8 weeks showed a significant decrease in biological age estimates based on the levels of DNA. These results indicate that food choices can affect genetic signs associated with aging, which can provide an invisible approach to delaying the biological aging process. At the end of the study, the authors noticed a decrease in the biological age estimates, known as the aging hours above the genetic, with the participants who ate a vegetable diet, but not among those who eat a meat. The genetic aging watches are used to measure biological age, based on specific patterns of DNA, a genetic modification that affects the genetic expression without changing the essential DNA order. The study of these watches provides visions on the biological processes of aging, and can predict the biological age of the individual, which may differ from his time age. The researchers noted a decrease in the ages of the heart, hormones, liver, inflammatory and metabolic systems of the participants who ate a vegetable diet, but not a comprehensive diet for eight weeks. The researchers say this decline can be attributed to the remarkable differences between the participants who ate different food systems on their nutritional formulas. The researchers notice that the participants who ate a vegetarian diet lost more average kilograms than those who had a comprehensive diet due to the differences in calorie content in meals provided during the first four weeks of the study. Perhaps these differences in weight loss contributed to the noticeable differences in the age of the genetic between the two groups. The researchers believe that more research is needed to investigate the relationship between food composition, weight and aging, as well as long -term effects of plant diets.
