Omega-3 Found to Potentially Slow Biological Aging by Four Months

Recent research indicates that daily omega-3 supplementation can slow biological aging in older adults. A three-year study involving 777 participants aged 70 and above found that those taking omega-3, alongside vitamin D and regular exercise, experienced a reduction in biological age by approximately three to four months, as measured by various epigenetic clocks. The combination of these interventions also significantly lowered cancer risk and instances of frailty among participants. Researchers noted that while the effects might seem modest, sustained use could yield considerable public health benefits. The study emphasizes the importance of omega-3 in promoting healthy aging, making it a potentially vital addition to dietary recommendations. Overall, the findings suggest that simple lifestyle adjustments can have meaningful impacts on longevity and healthspan.
