Aside from the many other health benefits of anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids, a new study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that omega-3 fatty acids  may help protect your body’s cells from aging by slowing down the shortening of telomeres, structures that are a marker of biological aging.

The well-designed, 5 year study on over 600 people who had stable coronary artery disease concluded that people with the lowest levels of Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA had the highest rate of telomere shortening, and that people with the highest levels of EPA and DHA has the slowest rate of telomere shortening, indicating the important role that Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have in slowing down the aging process of cells.

We have always recommended that people take a fish oil supplement with high levels of EPA and DHA due to the plethora of health benefits these fatty acids offer and the overall anti-inflammatory effects of Omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, taking a fish oil supplement with adequate amounts of EPA and DHA also helps balance out the high level of pro-inflammatory Omega 6 fatty acids commonly consumed in our diets.
