Vegan Diet Slows Biological Aging | San Diego News
Description
New science reveals that going vegan for just one month can measurably alter your biology—reducing inflammation, boosting immune markers, and even slowing biological aging, according to a UC San Diego study. Researchers tracked 48 healthy adults, comparing vegan and meat-heavy diets over four weeks while keeping calories constant. DNA methylation analysis showed profound shifts in gene expression tied to insulin, DNA repair, and cellular stress—with vegans displaying fewer inflammation drivers and more immune-regulating cells. Using epigenetic clocks, scientists found signs of slowed aging in just a month. While this small study doesn’t promise miracles, it powerfully underscores how food directly reshapes your body at the molecular level—fast and without calorie restriction.
