Harvard professor shares secret to rewinding your biological clock
Considered an authority in the field of longevity, 54-year-old Harvard lecturer, Dr. David Sinclair, recently went public with the claim that his developed methods rewound his biological clock by an entire decade. Owing to a balanced diet, physical activity, and regular supplementation, Sinclair was able to develop a method that rejuvenated his body by a decade.
The cornerstone of his success was diet. Sinclair adopted intermittent fasting, a nutritional strategy increasing in popularity, which involves refraining from eating for a specified number of hours (in Sinclair's case, an impressive 16 hours). Outside of those hours, any food is permissible. However, Sinclair chose plant-based foods low in sugar and fat, avoiding processed foods, alcohol, stimulants, and anything high in simple sugars.
Health and longevity through cold therapy
Dietary changes weren't the only influence on Sinclair's well-being. He also incorporated cold therapy into his regimen, which reduces inflammation and relieves pain when applied regularly. Complementing the therapy with daily physical activity of just 30 minutes, Sinclair noticed a marked improvement in his physique's firmness and resilience. Supplementing his diet with healthy fats rich in omega-group acids, probiotics, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 was the final element in his strategy to 'rejuvenate' his biological clock.
