_Fish Oils Slows Genetic Aging_

 

Heart disease patients have long been encouraged to eat more fish or

take

fish oil supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids. The reason? People

who

do, tend to live longer. Now, some say a study in the Journal of the

American Medical Association might explain why.

 

Specifically, the researchers behind the study report that for heart

disease patients, omega-3 fatty acids may protect against death and

illness by

slowing biological aging. However, the findings were met with skepticism

from some cardiac experts who said the study had serious limitations.

 

In the study, Dr. Ramin Farzaneh-Far of the University of California San

Francisco and colleagues followed more than 600 men with heart disease

and

found those taking the most omega-3 appeared " biologically

younger " --that is,

the ends of their chromosomes, called telomeres, looked longer and

healthier.
