Mindsip insights from this episode:
Reevaluate exercise impact on epigenetic aging measures
Surprisingly, the exercise routine implemented in the study also had no effect on its own on the measures of epigenetic aging.
Prioritize omega-3s to slow aging process
Omega-3 consumption was the main driver for slowing the pace of aging, even making vitamin D and exercise appear effective when they were combined.
Maximize omega-3 benefits by starting with low baseline levels
The age-slowing benefit of omega-3s was only observed in participants who started with lower blood levels of omega-3s.
Evaluate diet for omega-3 levels before blood testing
You may not need a blood test to know if you'll benefit; if you don't eat fatty fish twice a week or already supplement, you likely have lower levels.
Implement one gram of omega-3s daily to slow aging
The study demonstrated a robust age-slowing effect using a simple intervention of one gram of Omega-3s per day.
Achieve modest biological age reduction with targeted interventions
The best-case scenario from the interventions resulted in a biological age that was about 3.8 months younger after three years of treatment.
Reevaluate vitamin D supplementation for epigenetic aging
In a recent study, vitamin D supplementation alone had no effect on slowing epigenetic aging across four different biological age tests.
