Scientists have discovered that people\u2019s biological age, which is how old their cells, tissues and organs are, often differs from their chronological age, the number of years they have been alive.<\/p>\n
As researchers study ways to slow down or reverse a person\u2019s biological age, Florida is now considered a hotbed for clinics, treatments, trials and supplements.<\/p>\n
University of Miami researchers are studying biological age to predict who\u2019s at risk for developing colon polyps, a known risk factor for colorectal cancer. Dr. John Lewis, a voluntary associate professor at the University of Miami, has led multiple clinical studies on cellular repair and biological aging. Lewis has looked at how a plant-based diet could reverse your biological age and whether certain supplements \u2014 including aloe polymannose \u2014 can help, too.<\/p>\n
