Daily Omega-3 Intake May Slow Biological Aging, Study Finds
\n——————————-
\nA major study by the University of Zurich reveals that taking 1 gram of omega-3 daily can reduce biological age by several months in adults over 70, SciTech Daily reported. The research, part of the DO-HEALTH trial, also found that combining omega-3 supplements with vitamin D (2,000 IU daily) and regular strength training (30 minutes, three times a week) produces even stronger anti-aging effects. <\/p>\n
Using advanced epigenetic clocks, which measure DNA methylation to track biological aging, researchers studied 777 older adults over three years. Omega-3 alone slowed aging by up to four months, while the triple combination showed the greatest benefit on one of the clocks. <\/p>\n
Led by Professor Heike Bischoff-Ferrari, the study builds on previous findings that these interventions reduce risks of cancer, infections, falls, and frailty. Although limited by the sample\u2019s Swiss-only participants and the lack of a universal biological age standard, the team plans to expand research across Europe and validate novel aging biomarkers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
