Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize omega-3 index as a marker of healthy lifestyle
A high omega-3 index could simply be a marker of a generally healthier lifestyle rather than the direct cause of reduced mortality risk.
Aim for 8% omega-3 index to avoid deficiency
You should aim to measure and maintain your omega-3 index at around 8% or slightly higher to be out of a deficiency state.
Achieve life expectancy of non-smokers by increasing omega-3 index
Smokers with a high omega-3 index (8%) were found to have the same life expectancy as non-smokers with a low omega-3 index.
Increase omega-3 index with algae, krill, fish oil, or fatty fish
You can achieve a higher omega-3 index through algae oil, krill oil, fish oil, or by eating fatty fish a few times per week.
Understand omega-3 index claims for life extension
The claim that a high omega-3 index adds five years to life is based on a theoretical estimate from a predictive model, not directly observed data.
