Wow this new research is amazing! Scientists have been looking more and more at what young DNA and old DNA looks like. More and more they are seeing the importance of little “tails” on the end of the DNA called “Telomeres”. Every time the cell divides the Telomere gets shorter. When the Telemere gets to “ZERO” the cell dies.
(As a side note, cancer cells have broken Telomeres and keep dividing without them shortening.)
What the latest research has shown (and I’m talking about published in the last 2 weeks) that people who exercise have longer Telomeres, and people who consume Fish oil do as well. Obviously, the younger your DNA is, the younger your cells are. The younger your cells are, the younger you feel!
In addition to lengthening your Telomeres, fish oil (and the acompanying Omega 3 Acids) also have all kinds of crazy benefits including lowering risk of heart disease, reducing deposits inside the arteries, reduction of all forms of cancer, lowering inflammation in the joints, lowering cholesterol, and even a slight lowering of blood pressure (according to the Mayo Clinic).
This is not some super exclusive or hard to find supplement – you can get it at Costco (online or at the store) I like that brand pretty well (it's also cheap; it will cost you roughly $10 a year!!). There are lemon scented ones at www.swansonvitamins.com, which should help cut down on any fishy smell. Trader Joe's sells an "odorless" brand that promises no fishy reflux. The KEY in your purchase is to look for“Molecularly distilled”. Don’t by any other kind for there is potentially too much mercury in it and you’d be better off not having it at all.
