Swiss researchers have proven that daily consumption of omega-3 slows down the body's natural aging process. The scientific study involved 777 individuals aged 70 and older. The results provided by the scientists were published in the journal Nature Aging.

It was found that healthy elderly individuals who consumed one gram of omega-3 daily for three years had a biological age three months younger than other participants. Additionally, adding vitamin D to the diet and exercising (30 minutes three times a week) increased this result by four months.
Scientists used biological tools known as epigenetic clocks to assess the impact of omega-3 on the aging rate.
An epigenetic clock is a specific set of DNA markers that allows determining the biological age of tissues, cells, and organs.
“In my opinion, being 70 years old is like turning 50 for the second time. Of course, this method cannot cure aging, but the research results confirm how effective this method is. Regular intake of small doses of omega-3 and vitamin D, along with physical activity, truly extends human life,” says Steve Horvat, a researcher at Altos Labs biotechnology company.
Previous studies have also shown that omega-3 found in foods such as fatty fish, nuts, and seeds can slow down the aging process. However, until recently, it was unknown that positive results could also be achieved by taking it in supplemental vitamin form.
Additionally, the scientists noted other beneficial properties of omega-3 fatty acids. Specifically, this substance reduces the risk of sudden falls in elderly people by 10% and lowers the risk of infections by 13%. Furthermore, omega-3, vitamin D, and regular physical exercise reduced invasive cancer diseases by 61 percent.
