What is your Biological Clock?
Wikipedia states that “Ageing is the process of becoming older,” and “Longevity” is sometimes used as a synonym for “Life expectancy.”
In most instances, we often just look at ageing in one dimension: the representation in time and how many years you have been alive.
However, in reality, a multitude of aspects surrounding your lifestyle, such as diet, stress, exercise, sleep, as well as your environment will affect the rate at which we age.

Most of us will be completely unaware that we actually have two ages:
· Chronological age refers to the exact number of years you have been alive, and it is as predictable as night follows day; your date of birth and age cannot be altered.
· Biological age is a true reflection of how your cells are ageing and how they have been affected by exogenous and endogenous stressors, which will affect your epigenetics.
Biological age is a very well-defined scientific term. It is not a loosely defined marketing term. To date, there are over 3,000 scientific publications on biological age and epigenetics, so it is very well characterised.
Biological ageing includes inability to fight cancer/disease, lack of functioning proteins, energy production in the body, nutrient function, loss of circadian rhythm, increased inflammation, loss of new cell regeneration, and many more factors.
When proteins lose function, the body cannot carry out the necessary tasks, for instance: memory, eyesight, hearing, the ability to properly digest nutrients, to metabolise sugars and fats, fight disease, increased development of autoimmune diseases, etc.
The Science of Muhdo Health
Over the last eight years, Muhdo Health has been pioneering Epigenetic analysis, which helps each of us to understand our biological age and better predict our future health, bridging the gap between consumer wellness and technology.
This will allow people to be more proactive in helping to manage their health and wellbeing through lifestyle changes.
Muhdo is extremely unique in our approach and methodology, as we combine DNA & Epigenetic data, with over 950,000+ epigenetic markers, a large customer database, time-stamped, time series trend data overlapped with health metrics, fitness trackers, pollution levels, and lifestyle data.
We have made huge advancements in DNA & Epigenetic testing technology and understanding an individual’s cellular architecture that provides individuals with detailed insights into their genetic makeup, including information on nutrition, fitness, and health risks.
This involves making technological innovations in personalised healthcare, thus making this technology more accessible, affordable, and straightforward for everyone to utilise each day in a cost-effective manner.
