How Polyphenols From Tea, Berries, and Curcumin May Slow Aging Pathways
This review suggests polyphenol-rich foods may support pathways tied to healthy aging.
This review looks at how common plant compounds like resveratrol, EGCG from green tea, curcumin, and quercetin may influence aging. They appear to nudge the same pathways targeted by longevity drugs, including AMPK, sirtuins, and mTOR. They also feed gut bacteria that produce urolithin A, a compound linked to better mitochondrial health.
