It's worth exploring how to lower your biological age if you want to live better, not just for longer. Rather than focus on one type of workout or diet, lowering your biological age is all about small everyday habits that make a big difference.

A biological age test measures how old your body's cells are and how well your body functions, separate from your 'real' chronological age. It's not an exact science, but it can give you an idea of how well you're ageing. The lower your age, the more likely you are to live with longevity, which is "living a healthier life with a better quality of life and better health outcomes" as well as living for longer, says Dr Jeff Foster, a GP, physiology and longevity specialist.
