An omega-3 dose a day could slow ageing process, ‘healthspan’ trial finds
GuardianFEB 12
The findings represent a breakthrough in human rejuvenation research, offering an accessible and affordable intervention that could help extend the health span. Combining omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and exercise provides a practical approach to slowing biological aging, with additional benefits for preventing falls, infections, and cancer.
The results should be interpreted cautiously. The study focused on a relatively small, healthy sample of Swiss seniors, and the long-term sustainability of these effects remains unknown. Additionally, no standardized measure of biological aging makes it challenging to prove the intervention's impact on longevity.
