Tengrinews.kz - The issue of preserving youth has always worried humanity. Some try expensive cosmetic procedures, some experiment with diets, and some hope for a miracle pill. But what if the solution is simpler than it seems? A recent DO-HEALTH study showed that taking omega-3 can actually affect biological age, according to Nature.com.
A group of 777 study participants had the following characteristics:
59% were women; the average age at baseline was 75 years;
53% were healthy older adults with no serious chronic diseases; disabilities, cognitive impairment, or mental health limitations;
88% led an active lifestyle, 29% of whom trained one to three times a week, and 59% more than three times a week.
Scientists have found that daily intake of omega-3 (1 g per day) can slow down biological aging. The study lasted three years, and the results showed that people who took omega-3 had their biological age reduced by an average of 3-4 months. This is due to the fact that omega-3 affects the epigenetic clock - special markers that track the aging process of the body.
Vitamin D and exercise: Work, but in a team
While vitamin D alone (2000 IU per day) did not show significant results, when combined with omega-3 and regular exercise, it enhanced the rejuvenating effect. Those who combined these three habits showed better results in one of the key markers of aging.
If you want to stay younger and longer, scientists recommend:
Add fish (salmon, mackerel) to your diet or take omega-3 supplements; Get more sun or monitor your vitamin D levels; Move regularly - at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise three times a week is enough.
Earlier, a doctor named the healthiest fish for elderly people. According to her, cod, pollock, and hake are the most beneficial. These types of fish are rich in iodine, as well as contain protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, this fish is quite affordable.
