Anti-Inflammatory Foods May Lower Frailty Risk as You Age
Certain blood metabolites tied to fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes were linked to lower frailty risk in nearly 10,000 Canadian adults aged 45-85. The protective effect worked partly by reducing inflammation markers. On the flip side, a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and processed meat metabolites were tied to higher frailty risk through increased inflammation. The study tracked participants over three years, connecting dietary patterns to measurable metabolic changes.
Key Insight
This study suggests plant-rich diets may help lower inflammation linked to frailty risk.
