Mouthwatering, right? But then there's this nagging thought: 

令人垂涎欲滴，對吧？ 但隨之而來的是一個揮之不去的想法：

Could this delicious monstrosity be speeding up my biological clock, ticking away my years?  

難道這個美味的怪物正在加快我的生理時鐘，讓我的歲月流逝嗎？

Well, thanks to a study that spills the beans on exactly how our diet influences our biological age, we're closer to that answer.

好吧，多虧了一項研究揭示了我們的飲食到底如何影響我們的生物年齡，我們離這個答案更近了。

Let's digest this info together, along with some antacid, to find out if we can outsmart our body's biological clocks through the land of greens and genes.

讓我們一起消化這些訊息，再加上一些抗酸劑，看看我們是否可以透過綠色和基因的土地來智勝我們身體的生理時鐘。

No, not those jeans — G-R-E-E-N-S. And you're already eating them. Okay, all right, well, here we go.

不，不是那些牛仔褲——G-R-E-E-N-S。 而你已經在吃它們了。 好吧，好吧，讓我們開始吧。

Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.

大家好，歡迎來到 Life Noggin。

Recently, an innovative study was conducted by Stanford University that explored the impact of diet on health and age.

最近，史丹佛大學進行了一項創新研究，探討飲食對健康和年齡的影響。

The study followed 22 sets of genetically identical twins over 8 weeks, with one twin on a vegan diet and the other on an omnivorous diet.

該研究對 22 組基因相同的雙胞胎進行了 8 週的追蹤調查，其中一對雙胞胎吃純素飲食，另一對雙胞胎吃雜食。

What they found is that those on a vegan diet experienced improvements in heart health through lower levels of LDL cholesterol and an increase in beneficial gut bacteria.

他們發現，純素飲食的人透過降低低密度脂蛋白膽固醇水平和增加有益腸道細菌來改善心臟健康。

Additionally, the vegan diet group showed a reduction in biological age, suggesting potential anti-aging effects of plant-based eating.

此外，純素飲食組的生物年齡有所降低，這表明植物性飲食具有潛在的抗衰老作用。

Okay, so you're eating a bunch of veggies and swearing off Mr. Mumu here, but how does one measure these changes in biological age or health?

好吧，所以你吃了一堆蔬菜並在這裡發誓遠離牛牛先生，但是如何衡量生物年齡或健康狀況的這些變化呢？

Are you ready to get full-on some science?

你準備好充分了解一些科學了嗎？

Enter Methylation Risk Scores, or MRSs, a cutting-edge approach that dives deep into our DNA.

輸入甲基化風險評分 (MRS)，這是一種深入研究我們 DNA 的尖端方法。

Unlike Polygenic RIS scores (PRS), which are fixed and based on the genes we inherit, MRSs assesses the methylation patterns on our DNA.

與多基因 RIS 評分 (PRS) 不同，多基因 RIS 評分 (PRS) 是固定的並且基於我們遺傳的基因，MRS 評估我們 DNA 上的甲基化模式。

These patterns are like biological bookmarks, indicating which genes are turned on or off, and can significantly influence our health and aging process.

這些模式就像生物書籤，指示哪些基因被打開或關閉，並且可以顯著影響我們的健康和老化過程。

Specifically, MRSs can be revolutionary in the medical field.

具體來說，MRSs 在醫療領域可能是革命性的。

For example, by reading DNA methylation patterns, we can now diagnose diseases that were previously identifiable only by clinical observation, such as schizophrenia.

例如，透過讀取 DNA 甲基化模式，我們現在可以診斷出以前只能透過臨床觀察才能識別的疾病，例如精神分裂症。

What's really cool is that MRSs enables us to predict the risk of developing diseases that lack traditional predictive measures, like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD),  

更酷的是，MRSs 使我們能夠預測患有缺乏傳統預測措施的疾病的風險，例如慢性阻塞性肺病 (COPD)、

which currently isn't predicted but diagnosed when you're already sick.

這疾病目前無法預測，但只能在已經生病時進行診斷。

This leap in predictive capability highlights not just the potential for early intervention but also the strength of our biological makeup.

預測能力的飛躍不僅凸顯了早期介入的潛力，也凸顯了我們生物組成的優勢。

Unlike PRS, these methylation patterns can change based on our lifestyle choices, environment, and notably, circling back, our diet.

與 PRS 不同，這些甲基化模式可以根據我們的生活方式選擇、環境，尤其是我們的飲食而改變。

Okay, so MRSs is a great thing. How can we influence our MRSs for the better?  

好吧，MRSs 是一件很棒的事。 我們如何才能更好地影響我們的 MRSs？

Let's take some notes, people.

各位，做一些筆記吧。

Science points towards several strategies, like optimizing nutrient intake, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress effectively, and ensuring quality sleep.

科學指出了多種策略，例如優化營養攝取、定期進行身體活動、有效管理壓力以及確保優質睡眠。

Uh-oh, I'm in danger.

完蛋，我很危險。

Each of these factors plays a pivotal role in how our genes express themselves.

這些因素中的每一個都在我們的基因如何表達自身方面發揮關鍵作用。

They enhance our health, age, and well-being.

它們可以增強我們的健康、年齡和幸福感。

However, the real benefits of MRSs is that once these tools are created, we can find the specific interventions which are most preventative.

然而，MRSs 的真正好處在於，一旦創建了這些工具，我們就可以找到最具預防性的具體干預措施。

Basically, there's a lot more helpfulness to be explored, and as the science of aging advances, there are newer, more precise methods that can determine our biological age,

基本上，還有更多的幫助有待探索，隨著老化科學的進步，有更新、更精確的方法可以確定我們的生物年齡，

such as advanced epigenetic testing, which examines the modifications in our DNA. 

例如先進的表觀遺傳測試，它檢查我們 DNA 的修改。

These methods stand out not just by measuring the accumulation of age-related molecular changes, but assessing the pace at which these changes occur.

這些方法的突出之處不僅在於測量與年齡相關的分子變化的積累，還在於評估這些變化發生的速度。

And that brings us to the sponsor of today's video.

這就引出了今天影片的贊助商。

老實說，你認為你的飲食對你的生理年齡是有幫助還是有害？

Based on your diet, how old do you feel?

根據你的飲食習慣，你覺得自己多老？
