Summary

Story summary

Lifestyle choices significantly influence aging, particularly through the epigenetic clock, which assesses biological age via DNA methylation.
Regular physical activity can slow or reverse epigenetic aging, improving healthspan.
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) preserves DNA stability and guards against oxidative stress.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) correlates with younger epigenetic profiles and supports mitochondrial health.
Aim for 150 minutes of MVPA weekly, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
