One gram of omega-3 per day may slow the rate of biological aging.
Analysis of clinical trials involving 777 older adults found that daily omega-3 intake can moderately slow biological aging, with combination interventions showing the strongest effects on aging and disease prevention.
New research recently published in the scientific journal Nature Aging has discovered another great effect of omega-3 fish oil, especially when combining omega-3 supplementation with vitamin D and exercise, according to the medical news site News Medical.
New research has discovered another amazing effect of omega-3 fish oil.
The study included 777 Swiss participants in the DO-HEALTH trial – Europe's largest healthy aging trial, spanning five European countries.
The primary objective of the study was to investigate the effects of vitamin D and omega-3 supplementation and exercise, alone or in combination, over 3 years on biological aging.
Biological aging is the gradual decline in physiological functions in living organisms. Much research has been conducted to understand the aging process and identify interventions to slow biological aging.
Participants aged 70 and older consumed one omega-3 capsule (1,000 mg) per day, 2,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D, and exercised for 30 minutes three times a week, either individually or in combination, during the three-year trial.
Combining all three: Taking omega-3 fish oil, vitamin D, and exercise - has the greatest effect in reducing cancer risk and preventing frailty
Researchers analyzed blood samples to calculate the rate of biological aging in the participants.
What were the results?
The results found that taking one omega-3 fish oil capsule (1,000 mg) per day helped slow down the biological aging process, according to News Medical.
Notably, combining all three measures—taking omega-3 fish oil, vitamin D, and exercise—showed the strongest effects on aging and disease prevention, particularly in reducing cancer risk and preventing frailty.
The study also found that people with lower omega-3 levels at the start of the trial reaped greater benefits from taking omega-3 fish oil.
These results highlight the importance of omega-3 fish oil as a targeted intervention to influence biological aging processes, the researchers concluded.
As for vitamin D, it should be noted that overdosing can have serious health consequences. Therefore, it is best to take the morning sun for 15 minutes a day or absorb vitamin D through food (including fatty fish such as salmon, herring, oysters, shrimp, egg yolks, mushrooms, oats, cereals, milk, oranges).
And it is best to consult your doctor before using supplements.
