Healthy fats the fountain of youth? Telomeres are the little tags of DNA at the end of our chromosomes. The longer the telomere, the longer that cell can live. Shorten the telomere and the cell will die faster.
Recent study found that the higher the blood levels of EPA/DHA (the essential fatty acids found in fish) the longer the telomere and the slower it got shortened. Essentially the fountain of youth. Increase your intake through supplementation, wild game, omega-3 eggs, flax, fatty vegetarian fish (the carnivores like mahi, ahi and halibut have higher levels of mercury), nuts, seeds, avacodos. Oh..and remember the USDA food pyramid that brainwashed all of us to avoid fat for several decades? Scrap it…
