What if the food you eat could rewind your biological clock?

This book urgently pinpoints why our eating habits must change and what we can all do to live longer and healthier lives.
🥬🍅'Clear and compelling' @DoctorChrisVT
People have long believed that taking high doses of vitamin C can boost the immune system and help prevent colds. But is it really true?
I discussed this with @dandavis101 for the @Telegraph last month:

I'm recently back from covering the @uicc congress where a new study highlighted that women with suboptimal sleeping habits have an elevated risk of breast cancer.
For more, here's my piece for @NBCNews

Whenever a patient arrives in a neurological ward displaying signs of confusion and drowsiness, and complaining of fever, headache and weakness, doctors are acutely aware that it could be a life-or-death emergency. @DrDavidACox

Last month, Fiji's government declared HIV to be a national emergency. So how did this island nation, best known as a honeymoon destination, become one of the world's HIV hotspots?

Love this review of The Age Code. Thank you!
#BookReview @FinancialXpress
What if #ageing is not simply something that happens to us, but something we can influence?
I review @DrDavidACox ’s #TheAgeCode and its provocative idea: #longevity may begin not in a lab, but on our #plates .

Rooted in ancient practices, the modern science of breathwork is revealing how a few minutes spent focusing on your breathing can not only bring an instant dose of stress relief, but also benefit your health in the long term. @DrDavidACox

I had an absolute blast recently visiting @MindfulChefUK and filming a discussion with the wonderful Sasha Watkins about nutrition, ageing and what I learnt while researching The Age Code.

Major new @Telegraph story out today - more than five years on from the Covid vaccine rollout, what do we know about the people who had their lives permanently altered
telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03…
Dr David Cox retweeted
A new study links difficult relationships in our social networks to faster biological ageing (Lee et al., 2026).
I spoke with @DrDavidACox @Telegraph about the findings — and what to do about it.
@PNASNews

I'm assuming this relates to the fact that I haven't mentioned the Covid vaccines.
This is because, if you read the epidemiology this trend began to take off in the 1990s, before they were invented
Cancers in the under 50s rose between 1990 & 2018
news.cancerresearchuk.org/20…
Something clearly changed between the 1980/90s and mid 2010s which is fuelling this rise. At the moment the clearest evidence relates to the gut (see this other piece I wrote last year) Which probably implicates ultra-processed foods/antibiotics
