Diet change tied to ‘younger’ biological age in older adults after 4 weeks
Researchers have found that changing your diet — even later in life — may slow the aging process in as little as one month.
Researchers from the University of Sydney assigned 104 participants aged 65-75 to one of four diets. Two of the diets were omnivorous and included protein from both animals and plants. Two included 70% of protein from plant sources.

One omnivorous diet was high in fat, while the other emphasized carbohydrates. The two semi-vegetarian diets were distinguished in the same way. All four diets derived 14 percent of energy from protein.
“Biological age” essentially means how old the body appears based on health indicators, called biomarkers, rather than how many years a person has been alive.
The scientists measured 20 varied biomarkers, including cholesterol and insulin levels, in participants to determine how short-term diet changes affect biological aging.

“While chronological age increases uniformly, biological aging varies between individuals, reflecting differences in health status and the body’s resilience,” said a University of Sydney report on the study’s findings.

According to the report, biomarker profiles “are often considered a better indicator of overall health and potential longevity than chronological age.”
The scientists found that after four weeks, participants’ biological ages in three of the four diet groups reduced. Only the high-fat omnivorous dieters’ biological ages “showed no meaningful change.”

The study, “Short-Term Dietary Intervention Alters Physiological Profiles Relevant to Ageing,” published in Aging Cell, concluded that the most pronounced improvements came from “diets rich in complex carbohydrates and plant-based components.”
The research team cautioned that these results are preliminary and may represent only short-term effects.
“It’s too soon to say definitively that specific changes to diet will extend your life,” said Caitlin Andrews, who led the study. “But this research offers an early indication of the potential benefits of dietary changes later in life.”

The New York Knicks are two wins away from going back to the NBA Finals for the first time this millennium, and the city that never sleeps may not know what to do with itself if they make it there.
We all saw how electric Madison Square Garden was for Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, just imagine how much that place will be rocking if the Knicks can host a game with the Larry O’Brien Trophy in the building.
The entire roof may cave in!

And it’s not just limited to home games either, as the fans have been clamoring to get an outdoor watch party outside of MSG organized to watch the Knicks on the road.
The NYPD, however, isn’t about to let that happen.
There’s a fine line between acting like a crazy fan and breaking the law, and sometimes having a preemptive plan in place is the best move.
I reached out to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch for comment, and although she hasn’t responded yet, I sympathize with her position.
She’s between a rock and a hard place with this one.
No one wants to deny Knicks fans a watch party, but it might be a wise decision to nip this in the bud before it gets out of hand.
There were a handful of arrests due to “fan rowdiness” after Game 2, which might explain the decision to pull the plug on the proposed watch party.
This makes sense too, given the recent incidents that have occurred in resort towns in nearby New Jersey, though this certainly wasn’t a popular decision among fans.
With all that being said, I need to see the city of New York in the NBA Finals like I need air to breathe.
Watch party or not, the whole city might combust if the Knicks win an NBA Championship.
The ticker-tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes will be legendary, but there’s business to attend to first.
The Knicks will have to buckle down and win two of the next four contests against a scrappy Cleveland Cavaliers team, but the fans will unfortunately have to watch from the comfort of their own couches.
There will be no “rowdiness” in the streets of NYC, at least not for Knicks fans.
