Fish oil, derived from fatty fish, like salmon, herring, tuna and mackerel, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – essential fatty acids the body can’t make for itself.
These nutrients have anti-inflammatory effects, helping reduce inflammation associated with aging. Omega-3s also promote cognitive function and heart health, slowing down age-related decline, while supporting skin hydration, leading to healthier looking skin.
Research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may slow down the process of cellular aging by protecting telomeres.
Benefits:
Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help mitigate the effects of inflammation on the body.
DHA is crucial for brain health. It supports cognitive function and helps maintain the structure and integrity of brain cells.
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering triglyceride levels, reducing blood pressure and preventing the formation of blood clots.
Fish oil supplements have been found to reduce joint pain and stiffness.
Risks:
May interact with blood thinning medication.
