N-3 fatty acids increase chance of successful aging
If you consume enough n-3 fatty acids through your diet, and perhaps also through supplements, you increase the chance that you will reach a respectable age and at the same time remain free of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. This is shown by an epidemiological study published by researchers at Tufts University in BMJ.
Study
During the study the researchers determined whether the study participants died or developed a chronic disease, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and kidney and lung diseases. Those who grow old without developing a chronic condition were considered to age successfully.
Results
What was relevant, was the concentration of the fish-derived n-3 fatty acids EPA [reduced the chance of unsuccessful aging by a quarter], DHA [reduced the chance of unsuccessful aging by 18 percent] and the total concentration of EPA, DPA and DHA [reduced the chance of unsuccessful aging by 18 percent].
