Healthy Aging: What Science Says & 4 Daily Habits to Help You Stay Functional Into Your 80s and 90s In this Healthy by George episode, MC explores why aging is a complex biological process and reviews key science-based drivers such as DNA damage, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased inflammation, senescent cells, and epigenetic changes shaped by environmental exposures. The video notes emerging areas of interest like NAD supplements and calorie restriction/intermittent fasting, including evidence from animal research that reduced calorie intake can improve biological aging markers, while acknowledging fasting isn’t for everyone and may not be ideal for some women. MC emphasizes practical daily actions to support healthier aging: regular movement (“movement is king”), choosing nutrient-dense whole foods (with a nod to Mediterranean/DASH-style eating), reducing stress through mindfulness and calming hobbies, and prioritizing quality sleep for cellular repair.
