New research reveals how vitamin D, omega-3, and exercise slow biological aging by influencing DNA methylation. Learn the science behind it and how to optimize your health.

Research reveals that a higher omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in the blood is linked with increased risks of death from all causes, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Discover the benefits of managing omega-3 intake for better health.

Omega-3 fatty acids from fish or supplements may prevent cognitive decline, particularly benefiting those with mild cognitive impairment or coronary artery disease.

Recent research reveals that omega-3 fatty acids may be crucial for maintaining a sharper, more resilient brain as we age. Discover the power of omega-3s!

A recent study hints at good news: omega-3 supplements could help prevent mental health problems after COVID-19.

The researchers of this study reviewed randomized controlled trials which investigated the effects of EPA and DHA on blood pressure (Zhang X, et.al., 2022). EPA and DHA are both omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil. There were 4973 participants 18 years old and older.   The optimal intake...

In this study the researchers measured blood cell (RBC) status of DHA which is an objective measure of long-term dietary DHA intake (Sala Vila A, et al. 2022). DHA is one of the omega 3 fatty acids. They also examined the association of RBC DHA as it related to Alzheimer’s...

  There are several risk factors associated with the development of Alzheimer’s Disease. The researchers of the following study evaluated the effects of supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids alone or together with alpha lipoic acid, comparing them to a placebo on oxidative stress biomarkers in Alzheimer’s Disease (Shinto L, et.al.,...

Polyphenols and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oils have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which have been demonstrated in several studies (Méndez L, Medina, 2021). Bioflavonoids are a family of polyphenolic compounds from plants (González R, et.al., 2011). Both bioflavonoids and polyphenols provide protection from free radical damage, peroxidation, and...

  In the following study the researchers reviewed observational and randomized controlled trials looking for an association between cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease and omega 3 fatty acids.  They found evidence from 33 studies suggesting that dietary and supplemental omega 3 fatty acids have a protective effect against cognitive impairment (Wood...

  EPA and DHA are 2 of the main active ingredients in fish oil. The following research included a total of 40 studies with 135,267 participants (Bernasconi AA, et.al., 2020). The researcher investigated different cardiovascular outcomes as they related to intake of EPA and DHA. The studies were all randomized...

  Stress affects the body in many ways. The body usually deals effectively with acute stress. Chronic stress however affects the body negatively and can even accelerate aging. This randomized, controlled study examined the impact of omega-3 supplementation on cellular aging-related biomarkers following a laboratory speech stressor (Madison AA, et...

  Air pollution with exposure to fine particles has shown to affect brain volume. The following study investigated if the potential neurotoxic effects of exposure to these fine particles could be modified by ingestion of omega 3 fatty acids (Chen C, et al., 2020). The participants were 1,315 women 65-80...

  This study was conducted to evaluate the preventive effect of EPA and DHA on cardiovascular disease (Bernasconi AA, et al., 2020). EPA and DHA are the active ingredients of omega 3 fat. The research included 135,267 participants from 40 studies. The researchers found that supplementation with EPA and DHA...

  The following research analyzed 40 randomized controlled trials which included 135,267 participants (Bernasconi AA, et al., 2020). The researchers investigated the results of supplementation with EPA and DHA which are the active ingredients in omega 3 fish oil. They looked at cardiovascular outcomes and included myocardial infarction, coronary heart...

  We all know that air pollution is harmful, but did you know that it can result in a smaller brain? The researchers in the following study investigated the toxic effects of air pollution on the brainin 1,315 women aged 65 to 80 years which were free of dementia at...

  No one wants to feel anxious, so what can you do?  The aim of this research was to find out if omega 3 fatty acids would reduce inflammatory markers and symptoms of anxiety in healthy young adults (Kiecolt-Glaser JK, et.al., 2011). The participants of this double blind placebo controlled...

  Both omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are essential which means we have to get them through the diet, since the body cannot make them.  The omega 6 fatty acid intake is quite a bit higher than the omega 3 intake the way most people eat now. Omega...
