The University of Zurich discovers the elixir of youth:

A combination of Omega-3, Vitamin D, and exercise.
The consumption of omega-3 fatty acids has slowed down the aging process by 2.9 to 3.8 months over a three-year period.The results of a study conducted at the University of Zurich indicate that daily consumption of omega-3 supplements can slow down biological aging by up to four months. According to the study published in the journal “Nature Aging,” healthy elderly individuals who consumed one gram of omega-3 essential fatty acids daily for three years aged three months less than the other participants in the trial.

Disclaimer: Omega-3 supplements, either alone or in conjunction with a vitamin D and exercise regimen, were linked to a slowing in four biological age tests that depend on DNA methylation, according to a recent study of the DO-HEALTH clinical trial published in Nature Aging (1). The study was carried out in Switzerland at the University of Zurich. For three years, 777 participants in the trial consumed 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily, 1 g of omega-3 fatty acids daily, and/or an exercise regimen at home. Participants were assessed using four new DNA methylation indicators of biological aging (PhenoAge, GrimAge, GrimAge2, and DunedinPACE) along the course of the treatment.
