Protecting Your Cells From Aging


Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil prevents cell aging by preserving structures called telomeres.Telomeres form the protective caps of the genes. They deteriorate with age,which eventually results in cell death.Protecting the telomeres is an important way to prevent aging. A University in California, San Francisco study found that people with the highest blood levels of Omega-3 fatty acids showed the slowest rate of telomere shortening over 5 years. Fish oil high in Omega-3 fatty acids is an effective anti-aging supplement.
