This review suggests eating fewer calories may reduce inflammation linked to aging cells.
Scientists looked at how diet and supplements affect signs of aging cells in people. Calorie restriction most consistently lowered inflammatory signals tied to worn-out cells. Omega-3 fish oil may nudge some of those markers too, but the evidence is thin. Notably, these changes reflect inflammation, not proof that aging cells were actually cleared out.
