The Harvard University molecular biologist, 53, said DNA tests show that his biological age is 43. Sinclair confessed that in his 30s, he was overweight and drank too much. Determined to get into better shape, he began a healthy new routine.
Aerobic exercises is recommended three times a week, which can include:
- Swimming
- Running
- Brisk walking
- Cycling.
Sinclair is also a fan of intermittent fasting to slow down his rate of ageing.
He explained: “I try to pack my main meal into a few hours a day, whenever possible.
“And that period of fasting has also had great benefits on my estimated biological age.”
Four ways to reduce biological ageing and increase life expectancy
- Frequent exercise
- Intermittent fasting

Stress-busting activities can include taking action to address any actions, to connect with people, and to have some “me time”, according to the NHS.
Expanding on each point, the health body says: “If you think you cannot do anything about your problem, your stress can get worse.
“That feeling of loss of control is one of the main causes of stress and lack of well-being.
“The act of taking control is in itself empowering, and it’s a crucial part of finding a solution that satisfies you and not someone else.”
A good support network is crucial, which can be made up of colleagues, friends, and family.
“Talking things through with a friend may also help you find solutions to your problems,” the NHS adds.
“Me time” is also paramount to spend your time doing something you enjoy, for yourself.
