41-Year-Old Longevity Doctor Claims His Biological Age Is 24, Reveals 3 Supplements He Takes

NDTV11-06-2025

A 41-year-old London-based primary care doctor has claimed his biological age is 24, thanks to his comprehensive routine and supplement regimen. According to tests taken 18 months ago, Dr. Mohammed Enayat's biological age was 17 years younger than his chronological age. He used GlycanAge and TruAge PACE tests, which measure inflammation and epigenetics, to determine his biological age.
Notably, Dr. Enayat, founder of Hum2n longevity clinic, has tracked his health for seven years using wearables like Oura ring and Whoop strap, along with regular blood, urine, and microbiome tests. Based on the results, he adjusts his longevity routine, including supplements. His core supplements include daily cycles of B complex, folate, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
"While I believe these supplements have supported my biological age reversal, I credit them as one component in a much broader framework," Mr Enayat told Business Insider.
1. Vitamin B complex
Dr. Enayat said he takes vitamin B complex and folate supplements due to a methylation gene defect that causes elevated homocysteine levels, increasing his risk of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. The supplements help lower these levels. Generally, dietitians recommend obtaining nutrients through food and supplementing only when necessary, such as in cases of deficiency or inability to consume certain nutritious foods. Foods rich in B vitamins, like fish, poultry, legumes, and leafy greens, can also help reduce homocysteine levels.
Research suggests B vitamins may be linked to improved mood and dementia prevention, but further studies are required to confirm these findings.
"Even without a methylation-related gene defect, I would still consider taking a methylated B complex, particularly during periods of high stress, poor sleep, or intensive training, as these increase the demand for B vitamins," Mr Enayat said.
2. Magnesium
Dr. Enayat takes magnesium bisglycinate due to his naturally low magnesium levels from dietary intake. This form is chosen for its better absorption, helping to boost his levels. Magnesium is essential for bone health, blood sugar regulation, and muscle function, and can also be found in foods like legumes and leafy greens.
He reported that taking magnesium helps reduce muscle aches and improves his sleep, allowing him to fall asleep more easily.
3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Dr. Enayat takes a daily omega-3 supplement due to his naturally low levels. Omega-3s, found in oily fish, walnuts, and chia seeds, support heart health, reduce inflammation, and lower blood pressure. While eating fatty fish weekly is proven to protect against cardiovascular disease, the benefits of supplement form are less clear. However, some research suggests omega-3 supplements may have anti-ageing effects, with a recent study finding participants who took omega-3s daily had lower biological ages.

Sambalpur begins Rs 55 crore water pipeline upgrade

SAMBALPUR: After years of recurring waterborne disease outbreaks and mounting public pressure, the Sambalpur Municipal Corporation (SMC) is set to begin major infrastructure upgrade to replace 55 kilometres of outdated and damaged drinking water supply pipelines across the city. This massive project, awarded to Bhubaneswar-based Shivjyoti Conpro Pvt Ltd, will be completed within 18 months at an estimated cost of Rs 55 crore. The most critically damaged pipelines will be replaced in the first phase within six months. This step comes after five jaundice outbreaks since 2014, with the most recent occurring after Sital Sasthi last year, affecting over 150 people. The outbreaks were linked to contaminated water supply caused by pipelines running through open drains, allowing sewage to seep into drinking water lines. In 2014, the then chief minister Naveen Patnaik had announced a complete overhaul of the system, but only partial work was carried out in selected areas, leaving the system vulnerable for nearly a decade. General manager, WATCO, Brahmeshwar Das said, 'The project will be executed at an estimated cost of Rs 55 crore. In the initial phase, pipelines in the worst condition will be replaced within six months. The overall target is to complete the entire 55-kilometre stretch within 18 months.' WATCO officials said the project will also expand water supply to under-served areas like Balaji colony and Marutivihar with 18,000 new household connections planned, while 8,000 is to be done in first phase. Additionally, two new treatment plants with a combined capacity of 100 MLD are proposed at Ainthapali (65 MLD) and near Sambalpur University (35 MLD). City health officials say diarrhoea, jaundice, and hepatitis remain endemic in parts of Sambalpur during monsoon. The project is expected to significantly reduce the city's vulnerability to waterborne diseases and improve health outcomes for thousands of residents.

Harvard doctor's simple tip can boost your happiness in one minute. A startup CEO is already practicing it

iStock Harvard doctor Trisha Pasricha proved that one-minute chats with strangers can boost happiness, echoing a University of Chicago study. In a parallel tale, startup CEO Harsh Pokharna found the same truth during spontaneous meetups in Jaipur, reinforcing that real connection starts offline. (Representational image: iStock) It wasn't a research lab or a stethoscope that Harvard doctor Trisha Pasricha turned to recently—it was the simple, brave act of chatting with strangers while waiting in line. A physician, an instructor at Harvard Medical School, and the Ask a Doctor columnist for The Washington Post, Dr. Pasricha tested a charming scientific theory on the bustling platforms of Boston's Green Line: that one-minute conversations with strangers can actually make you happier. 'It is scientifically proven that you can boost your happiness in one minute by talking to a stranger,' she began in a video she shared on Instagram, proceeding to engage unsuspecting commuters in playful and warm exchanges. Whether she was joking about being a Celtics fan or asking if someone wanted to be a pediatrician, the result was almost always the same—people smiled, talked, and lingered in conversations they hadn't planned for. The experiment wasn't just a cute social video. It was rooted in evidence. According to Dr. Pasricha, several studies, including one from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business in 2014, showed that people who spoke to strangers during their daily commute felt more positive afterward—even though they originally assumed their fellow travelers wouldn't be interested. 'I had a great time,' Dr. Pasricha said, visibly moved by the simplicity of connection. 'Most people were down to just keep talking for minutes and minutes on end.' Interestingly, this scientific truth found a surprising echo in the world of tech entrepreneurship. Harsh Pokharna, the CEO of Bengaluru-based fintech startup OkCredit and an IIT Kanpur alumnus, unintentionally embarked on a social experiment of his own. During a break in his hometown Jaipur, Pokharna posted a casual Instagram story inviting people to hang out. What began as boredom soon turned into an unexpectedly fulfilling journey of human connection. From random DMs to heartfelt discussions about therapy, dating, and dreams, Pokharna's days became filled with spontaneous meetups that mirrored the spirit of Pasricha's scientific adventure. 'There were no rules, no agendas—just organic human connection,' Pokharna noted, as he sipped coffee, played badminton, and took walks with strangers who soon felt like old friends. Both Pasricha and Pokharna's experiences—one rooted in medical science, the other in lived curiosity—prove the same point: in an era dominated by curated lives and digital walls, the art of spontaneous conversation is a quiet rebellion. It's free, it's freeing, and it might just be the one-minute happiness hack we all need. Pasricha's dare at the end of her video is more than an Instagram caption—'I dare you to try this with a stranger today'—it's an invitation to revive something ancient and humane: unfiltered, real-world connection. For a society struggling with loneliness, digital fatigue, and emotional burnout, it may be time to treat these micro-interactions not as throwaway moments, but as therapeutic encounters. Both the doctor and the startup CEO, from Harvard labs to Jaipur streets, remind us that wellness isn't always found in a prescription bottle or a productivity app. Sometimes, it's waiting in line with a stranger, ready to say hello.

Adah Sharma credits ‘multani mitti baths' to have helped get rid of cystic acne: ‘If you religiously do it..'

Adah Sharma recently opened up about her journey of tackling cystic acne. In conversation with The Brief India, the Hasee Toh Phasee star shared that she swore by multani mitti baths to get rid of stubborn cystic acne spread all across her body. Not just a face pack, she believes in bathing in it. 'You shouldn't just put it on the spot, put it everywhere, your face, hands and body' she said, adding that 'If you religiously do it, for a month, I have cleared such terrible cystic acne with it.' According to Dr Falguni Shah, Delhi-based dermatologist & cosmetologist, multani mitti, also known as Fuller's earth, has long been celebrated in Indian skincare routines for its oil-absorbing and pore-cleansing properties. 'As a natural clay, it works effectively on oily, thicker, and younger skin types — where the sebaceous (oil) glands tend to be more active. For such skin, using multani mitti once or twice a week as a mask can help absorb excess oil, unclog pores, and even prevent blackheads,' she said, adding that it can also be gently used as a scrub when mixed with ingredients like amba haldi (wild turmeric) and honey. This not only enhances its exfoliating effect but also helps brighten the skin and remove surface impurities. Dr Ameesha Mahajan, cosmetic dermatologist & founder, Eden Skin Clinic told that multani mitti is highly absorbent in nature and draws our excess sebum from the skin. Hence, individuals with oily and acne prone skin can benefit from it. 'It's calming nature helps to soothe redness and skin inflammation. Multani mitti detoxifies the skin by unclogging the skin pores and removing dirt and impurities,' she said, adding that it is a mild exfoliant and removes dead skin cells. Regularly using it on skin can even help in tightening the skin pores. 'While multani mitti can help manage oiliness, it's not a magic solution for cystic acne — which is a deeper, more inflammatory condition. For cystic acne, over-the-counter clay masks may provide temporary relief by drying out surface oil, but they won't treat the root cause,' said Dr Shah. In fact, she said that using multani mitti on dry, dehydrated, or mature skin can do more harm than good — it can strip essential moisture, leading to increased sensitivity, pigmentation, or even premature aging. For those with acne-prone skin, especially cystic acne, she suggested using multani mitti cautiously and always following it up with a non-comedogenic moisturiser. 'And for persistent, painful acne, it's best to consult a dermatologist for targeted treatment,' she said. Dr Mahajan mentioned some key points to keep in mind: 1. Drying Effect: It can strip natural oils, leading to dryness, flakiness, or even rebound oiliness. 2. Not for Sensitive Skin: Can irritate or worsen rosacea, eczema, or sensitive skin types. 3. Avoid Daily Use: 1–2 times/week is enough. 4. Always Patch Test: Especially if you have active cysts or inflamed skin. 5. Don't Let It Overdry: Remove while still slightly damp to prevent skin barrier damage. 6. Don't use it if you are already consuming some oral tablets to dry out acne as it will further disrupt the skin's defense barrier All in all, multani mitti has its place — but like all skincare, it's not one-size-fits-all. Know your skin type, use it sparingly, and don't skip the moisturiser! DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
