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. _http://snipr.com/u56u3_ (http://snipr.com/u56u3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
