Next time you settle down to a meal, try to include more of animal and vegetable items that contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Because new research indicates Omega-3 fatty acids enhances the survival rate of those with coronary heart conditions. Omega-3s can also slow down the ageing process - by as much as five years, amazingly. They do this, apparently, by preventing the shortening of telomeres, which are part of the DNA that function in a protective capacity. Telomeres shorten with age, infection, smoking, inactive lifestyle, and obesity. The study, which was conducted at the University of California in San Francisco, confirmed that subjects with high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in the blood benefited from lower rate of telomere shortening. It should be noted here that nations like Japan and Greenland have the world's lowest rate of heart disease because of the substantial inclusion of fish containing Omega-3 in their diet.
