A Harvard genetics professor swears 3 habits helped reverse his biological age by a decade

David Sinclair is 53 years old, but according to his biological age, he’s 10 years younger. Biological age measurements are important, because they’re based on the body’s internal status at the cellular level, which can impact one’s overall life expectancy.

Taking resveratrol

Sinclair swears by resveratrol, a polyphenol or natural antioxidant commonly found in berries, tea and red wine. He consumes it in a supplement form each morning with “a couple of mouthfuls of yogurt.” Along with the yogurt, Sinclair has MATCHA—full of polyphenols such as ECGC catechin.

Skipping breakfast

Sinclair skips breakfast, and intermittent-fasts by waiting between 16 and 18 hours between large meals. Although he says starting this regimen younger can be risky and cautions against malnutrition and starvation.

Avoiding sugar 

Sinclair started turning down sugar (and meat). He focuses on a plant-based diet; a typical dinner consists of rice, almonds, and couscous. 

“When I switched to this new diet, I got my memory back as well. I was unable to remember phone numbers and key codes easily, and now it’s simple,” he says “So I got back to my 20-year-old brain. I just thought it was old age, but it wasn’t, it was my lifestyle.”
