Omega 3 oils, especially DHA, are routinely in the headlines for their extensive science demonstrating the ability to reduce heart disease, lower triglycerides, improve brain function, help weight management, and reduce the chronic low-grade inflammation associated with virtually any disease of aging. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows for the first time that omega 3 oils also possess a powerful anti-aging characteristic – the preservation of telomeres.
In scientific circles it’s called the Hayflick limit, pegging the potential lifespan of humans at 120 years (a mathematical calculation). After that time, in theory, your cells run out of the ability to split and divide – meaning that you have lost the potential to regenerate and rejuvenate.
