Recent research has shown that the consumption of fast food, junk food, and sugary beverages contributes to biological aging, which is associated with the health of the organism, regardless of the chronological age of the individual.
Studies indicate that biological aging does not always coincide with chronological age, meaning that people of the same chronological age may have different levels of cellular and physical aging.
A study conducted by researchers from the University of Jyväskylä included twins aged 20 to 25 years. This allowed for the examination of the genetic influence on the relationship between diet and biological aging of the participants and showed that genetic predisposition in twins may help explain the connection between diet and premature aging.
