#Ageing

A new study points to omega-3 fatty acids as a potential tool to support longevity and overall health in seniors. The DO-HEALTH trial, conducted in Switzerland, explored whether daily omega-3 intake could slow biological aging in adults aged 70 to 85. Participants received a 1-gram omega-3 supplement daily alongside vitamin D, while others followed an at-home exercise program.

Over three years, researchers found that those taking omega-3 showed slower progression of aging markers. The results suggested a rejuvenation effect of about three to four months. Additionally, the data indicated a reduced risk of cancer by about 61 percent and a lower chance of pre-frailty by 39 percent—conditions that often precede frailty in later life.
